Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Date please?
« on: Wednesday 14 March 07 20:18 GMT (UK)  »
Among the items in a photo album my great aunt let me borrow are two scanned and reprinted images that I think are from one photo. I believe the man is the same as the man cut off in the one of the woman and the child's face. I'm trying to figure out who in the family they might have been, so it would be very helpful to have an idea when the original photo might've been taken.

Thanks very much!

Moray (Elginshire) / Elgin High Street again
« on: Tuesday 13 March 07 20:04 GMT (UK)  »
I just joined this site and saw a long-finished discussion about addresses on the High St. in Elgin that got me wondering about 114C and 114E High St, both former addresses for people in my family half a century ago. Does anyone know if these are still lived in and what is in the main address at 114? In the late forties and the fifties it was a shop.

Thanks!

Ross & Cromarty / McLean/McRae and intro
« on: Sunday 11 March 07 17:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I just registered here, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm researching my family history, much of which in the maternal line involves MacRaes and McLeans of Shieldaig. In case anyone here is working on the same bunch, I'll throw a few names out.

The oldest Macrae relatives I've found so far are Donald MacRae and Christian MacLennan, married in 1810.

Their son Murdo married Janet MacKenzie and their daughter Mary Ann was my GG grandmother. She ran the Temperance Inn in Shieldaig from 1899 until her death in 1929, when it was taken over by her son John until the 1970's.

Mary Ann's husband John McLean was son of Finlay and Ann McLean. He was son of Roderick McLean, a piper, and Ann MacLenan, married in 1813.

I'd love to hear from anyone who might be connected to the same family or who knows anything about them. I have more info about siblings and children and such to share, but what I have is far from complete.
