Greetings from Canada!

Isle of Lismore is of great importance to myself & family. My new wife & I were married on Lismore in May, 2011. My ancestors emigrated from Lismore in the 1820's (John McCorkindale and his wife Mary nee:McIntyre) to Guelph, Ontario Canada and built their stone farm house and called their new home farm 'Lorne'..It appears they came from an area called "Archanard, Isle Lismore". So any further information of that time & present relations in the area would be very helpful and interesting.

Kindest Regards,
Bob McCorkindale
Guelph, Ontario, Canada

There is a new website for anyone interested in the history of Oban.
This is a collaborative project, so PLEASE join in.

oldoban.wikidot.com -you will need to copy this into your address bar

looking forward to seeing this grow.

The inaugural meeting of the Lorn Family History Group will take place on
Sunday 27th September 2009.
Anyone who would like to know more details of this meeting or of what we
decide to arrange for the winter, and onwards, should please get in touch
with LFHG on 01631 720223 or, preferably, email lornfamilyhistory@gmail.com.

This group is very much aimed at genealogists living in the North Argyll
area, wherever their ancestors come from or ended up. As one prospective
member suggested "its a chance to get together with like minded people who
won't glaze over when you start droning on". From the enquries so far, its
evident that we will cover most of the country, if not many of the
continents, from the start, which is wonderful. We also have a surprising
depth of experience coming out of the local woodwork as well as welcoming
newcomers to the hobby.

We are looking forward to the creation of this new group, and welcoming new
members in the months to come

I hope you like what has been done so far. Please let the committee know what you would like to see on this site.
