I am just starting to look for information about the family of my
great-grandmother, Margret Gilchrist, believed born on Islay, Scotland,
about 1826. Her husband was Donald Carmichael, born 1807, also, we
believe, on Islay in Scotland. In 1851, they were living near Islay,
Fenelon Township, Victoria County, Ontario. Most of her children went
west after the 1880's, to Manitoba and we know little about the relatives
left behind.
In 1851, James Gilchrist, 15 and Diane Gilchrist, 5, lived near
my great-grandmother's family. We believe they were her nephew and
niece. Apparently other Gilchrist relatives lived at Woodville and
Hartley, Ontario.
I would be grateful for any information!

Dad (Douglas Daniel) - born 1916 North Dakota Grandfather (Daniel John)- born in Ireland (?), moved to London, moved to Canada with brother James, moved to North Dakota. My Father is deceased. His Dad died BEFORE he was born. His Mom died when he was four years old. Into the orphanage he went. Anyway, at one time I heard we had relatives in Seattle. Maybe James� kin. I would appreciate any help or advise. Thanking you in advance. Michele Gilchrist Kebbekus Oak Harbor, WA
My grandmother MARY WILDE MAMBER GILCHRIST (b.12 Aug.1907) was married to LINDSAY GILCHRIST b.6 Oct.1907 d.June 1986. It was her second marriage and his first. They lived in New York State. I believe he was born in Scotland and came to America when he was very young. His sister's name was BESSIE GILCHRIST, she was quite a bit older than he was. I don't think Aunt Bessie ever married, and grandpa Lindsay had no children. Would someday like to find out who his parents were, and where he was born. He never told me anything about his background. Lin Mayberry Port Angeles, WA
Hello out there! I just subscribed to the new Gilchrist mailing list. My verified connection to the Gilchrists goes back to my 3ggf William Gilchrist who was born in1758 and farmed the Corputechan farm in the Parish of Killean and Kilchenzie, near Campbeltown on the Argylle Peninsula , Scotland. I hail from Michigan where my great grandfather Donald settled when he emmigrated in 1872. He was married to Agnes McLachlan 12-16-1856 in Campbeltown . I am trying to find their ship and port of departure/arrival. I am retired and presently live in Ocala Florida. Regards, Dean Gilchrist
