Perthshire / General - Glen Lyon families to Canada
« on: Saturday 15 November 08 14:46 GMT (UK)  »
I would like to hear from someone who is very familiar with Glen Lyon, its history, location of records, etc. to help me find out more about the families of two Presbyterian churches in Canada which are: St. Andrew’s, Dalhousie Mills, Glengarry County, Ontario (the “Round Church”), and St. Andrew’s Cote St George, Soulanges County, Quebec. These churches are about 5 miles apart. Some of the families who attended/attend these churches came from Glen Lyon / Breadalbane.  But because they settled here so early, they were long gone before the census’ were produced so I’d like to find other sources of information, whatever they may be. There are just too many people with the same names so the IGI is not much help.  The more common family names include: McNaughtan, Anderson, Dewar, McGregor, McFarlane, McGibbon, Robertson

Any help and hints are greatly appreciated

Thank you for the link. I printed it off and read it last night and really enjoyed it.  Very good information about the ministers - a friend of mine still has the letter of reference given by the Glenelg minister of day and a gold coin from (I believe) the landlord, to use in time of emergency. As my friend said, there were many times they must have been sorely tempted to use it, but they never did.
I have fond memories of Glenelg.  I've visited only twice and had a lovely time - I remember particularly well a dance at the hall with live music that started about 11pm.They were called "Eat the Seats" (who could forget a name like that) and they had a keyboardist who I saw again a few years later in Ottawa playing with Mouth Music. Small world.

Again, thanks for your help

Thanks a lot, ...very quick

Yes, I was afraid there would be gaps, didn't realize how big those gaps were....but you never know, I might get something

All the best

this might be a tall order....or not....but I'd like to try
