Hi, To any CUMMING(S) descendants.

As the name Cumming(s), is/was very rare on South Uist & Eriskay, I am interested in connecting with "ANY" descendants whether with or without an "S" as both spellings are related and contrary to the misconception of the "S" being of a different family, it was merely an error by translators/transcribers/enumerators or what/who(ever), just as an "S" could be added to any name in the "plural" context!!!

So if you have the name Cumming(s) born S/Uist or Eriskay please get in touch with your connection/link as I have plenty to share.

Regards,

Anne Marie.
