Just wondering if anyone has a copy of the info below or can relate to him. ***** Certificates of service for men discharged between 1787 and 1813, DUNCAN MACCOLL alias DUNCAN MCCOLL Born ARGYLE, Argyllshire Served in 132nd Foot Regiment; 42nd Foot Regiment; 70th Foot Regiment; West Fencibles Discharged aged 44 after 11 years 8 months of service.. The only problem would be the age at discharge ..44..that would have him born around 1754..I estimate that my Duncan would have been born around 1775 ( His wifes birth date)..but I don't have a birth or death record for him. Thanks Frank McGonigal Ont.Canada... E Mail frank017@sympatico.ca Hi

I will endeavour to get all copies of newsletters on my website, but I do lead a busy life. I am very proud of my McCole heritage. I can add to the John-Sarah McColl lineage on the site. Two members of that family who lived in Appin, Meg McColl(wife on Ronnie) and her son, Johnnie McColl, have passed away in the last year, as has Lady Stewart of Appin, mother of the clan chief and Bachuil, head of the Livingston clan (a sept of the Stewarts of Appin). I have some photocopies of the Journals and have seen them in the Mitchell. Sadie Hogg, one of our life members, stayed with HG McColl as a girl.

It will be marvellous if you can put the CC Society material up on the Web. I've just had contact from Heather Butler, president of the Australian branch of the Friends of Appin Soc. and she advises that they hold some of the old McColl journals. I have corresponded with Brad and he is happy to help in whatever way he can to make the charts available. He was thinking about doing a mass email about this when time allows.

If anyone were willing to lend me an original or set of photocopies (including outside and inside covers) I would repay them with a CD of the complete set. I have not done anything marvellous, just made a series of 10-12MB files. They are not yet saleable and although I still wish to OCR and index them, I realise that something now is better than everything never. The magazines may be found in several libraries—I found them originally in the Cambridge University library and I’m sure the Mitchell has them too. Probably most of the copyright libraries have them. My thoughts of what the tree coding meant (eg C29, my grandfather) were naïve at best. Perhaps SC did stand for South Carolina, but C and D certainly did not mean Canada and Somewhere Else! I have not studied the journals deeply but I cannot find any description of the tree coding except this sentence at the head of every listing of members: “The letters and numbers shown against members’ names refer to the file and page of the member’s genealogy in our records.” Here is the list of journals, the gap being the only one missing from my set. The original volume numbering on the cover with an issue number within each volume changed at Volume 7 when it became whole numbers, and when production became disrupted by the War the numbers within each volume became very irregular. I do not believe that any issue after no 34 was published but I would be pleased to be proved wrong. I’ve also made a consolidated Table of Contents (but still missing no 25 of course) and will post it in GenForum and (if you are interested Brad) here.

She was the youngest (born 1925) of three girls that my grandfather, Hugh Tinnin, had by his wife, Mattie May Carter. The other sisters were Helen Lou Tinnin, a doctor who taught in North Carolina. And Dorothy Tinnin, married to Troy Joyner who had a son, Henry and daughter Jeannie. She lived in Shreveport, LA, most of her life. Dorothy (Dot as we called her) has passed on, I believe in 2003, and my mother passed on in 2000. Hugh has a spinster sister named Helen who lived on an adjacent section of land to his. Grandpa Hugh died in 1960 or 61 while our family was stationed in Puerto Rico. My mom was married to my dad, Harold Snyder. I am the oldest with a sister Karen, brother, Hugh, and sister, Karol. I was born in Austin when my dad was stationed at Bergstrom AFB. We often visited the farm on the very road shown on the map here. I walked along that river road many a day in my youth. Let me know if this sounds at all like we may be related. I do have a certificate of slave ownership somewhere that my grandmother Mattie, gave me. I will see if I can find it for more details for Ms. Thompson. My mother’s name was Myra Tinnin.
