Hi to nikandjb

I had stopped trying to unravel the Gatts of Pennan for a while as my head hurt too much, so I'm afraid I missed your reply.

I know I haven't got any further, and I wondered if you had managed somehow to develop a comprehensive tree showing how all the Gatts are connected. I'm not holding my breath ......

Good afternoon Stanza,

I am also looking for information for Isabella.  I am a descendent of George Simpson who was the youngest child of 4 from the marriage of Andrew Simpson and Isabella Gatt.  George Simpson married Margaret Mowat 1861 and had 2 boys- George 1882 and James Simpson 1888, both born in Scotland. This family of 4 emigrated to Canada in 1891 and settled near Vancouver, British Columbia.  I am a granddaughter of James.    Did you ever find the 'right' Isabelle Gatt's birthdate.  I would love to visit the cemeteries abound Tophead Farm near Rathen to see my ancestor's headstones and the countryside that they chose to leave.    my email is (*)

I've sent you an email, Kathleen.
