Hello, I'm searching for Elizabeth Fraser McLuckie (or McLucky) who was married to Norman Dudley Carter. Her husband Norman was born 7.12.1908 at Burnley, Lancashire and died 30.8.1982 at Plymouth. That's all I know but I would be glad to find some more information about Elizabeth McLuckie. The information I have came out of an downloaded family tree where I was searching for the name Nissen who is related to me. Maybe you can help me!?

I have just come across this site while looking for background information on Hugh Black of Auchenfoyle Farm, who died on 18 April 2001. He became a leading figure in the educational field, was a co-founder and leader of the Struthers Memorial group of churches, and wrote 23 religious books.

I understand that he is distantly related to me through my mother (born Letitia Bingham Orr).

I also have available, if anyone is interested, a PDF File copy of his obituary and of a rather faded Genealogy Tree of the Blair Family of Kilmacolm, Scotland, dating back to Hugh Blair of Ladymuir, who was born around 1660.

I'd be interested to know which member of the Blair family owned one of my family members. I wrote several years ago and I received a very rude reply from a Blair family member who informed me that no member of the Blair family ever owned slaves,,,,but how untrue as we are black....I was only attempting to find out some historical background to pass on to my children at the time I was not even trying to find out when next family reunion was show up and imbarass anyone. I got the impression that I was after some monies or some family inheritance....So to put your minds at ease, I am only inquiring for the historical value,,,I earn over $100,00 a year I am not after any estates or monies. If you can help it would be greatly be appreaciated as its very difficult to find any written history past grandparents due to I'm sure lack of writing skills or education I would be very interested in any help you can locate and I promise not to show up to any family functions (just kidding). I'm not a angry person or mad about any past wrongs, I'm very interested in this mysterious past I have, but every other Blair is able to acquire. Thank you for your time. Cheryl Blair

What a wealth of information you have on your site. I am envious. I have come up against a brick wall with my BLAIR ancestry. My ggrandfather was born in Trivandrum, India in about 1864. On his marriage certificate he names Thomas CRONING and Marian BLAIR as his parents. I cannot find any information on them at all. They called themselves Anglo- Indians so there must have been and English marriage somewhere. Could anyone help me or at least point me in the right direction. Maybe her father was an English soldier.

I found your site by using the web to find information on the Brice family, only to find my own Blair line. My descent is through Samuel Blair, his daughter Esther Blair who married Matthew Lyle whose daughter Elizabeth married James Thompson whose daughter, Jane Thompson, married James Walker whose daughter, Jane married John Ritchie Inman, whose son, Walker P. Inman married Cordelia Dick whose daughter, May Inman, married James Richard Gray, Sr., whose son, James R. Gray, Jr. married Ida Dorsey, whose daughter, Catherine Dorsey Gray married my father, Talbert Cooper and had Susan Dorsey Cooper, James McGinty Cooper, and Talbert Cooper, Jr. (and I still do not know how the Brice name got into the Blair family.)

Found out about the Clan Blair Society at the Sottish Festival in Costa Mesa, California on May 27th, 2001. A good time was had by all! If you have never atttended a Highland Games Festival, it is a must! This website offers a wealth of information and will be diving right into it very soon, thanks! After traveling to Scotland two years ago, I have been very interested in searching my ancestory. As many of you know, it takes a fair amount of work and I am only beginning. The males in my family, like so many before us have all the traditional names like Robert, William, John, etc. running through the last three generations. My father is Robert Earl (b.4/4/21), his father was Earl. Have some limited information from a cousin of Robert's named Alma also in California tracing back to Virginia but that is about all; it is a place to start. Love to hear from you if you have something you think might help. Great site!!!

Thank you for this marvelous website. Your information is comprehensive and of great assistance to me just reading a portion of your information on this first visit. My Mary Blair is an anomoly but perhaps it may assist others in filling in a loophole in turn will assist me in confirming my growing evidence that my Scottish families were transported then returned with other transported families to Scotland. They returned again the 1830's to US but my Walkers returned to Scotland once again 1850's - the women that is.

I am researching Stirling and Kippen/Buchlyvie which is the birth place of a Dick family member 1787 who died in the family plot in Jamaica, Ocho Rios, St Anna Parish 1818. This family married Walkers who married Kays who married Blairs. Later married Ross and Marshalls and all of these families appear to have forfeited land to the Crown due to Jacobite involvements. My Robert Kay's father is Robert Kay and mother Isobel Ure circa 1750's. An ancient monument in Stirling commemorates a 1600 covenenter martyr named Ure. The name is not common. But for this family to marry Blair is significant. The marriage of 1802 is documented but there is not a matching birth.

Death [644/12-506 Gorbals] ANN WALKER Widow of James Dick WALKER Woolen Warehouseman 1880 July 15, aged 68 Father: Robert KAY farmer Deceased Mother: Mary m/s BLAIR Deceased Inf: Robert K Walker, son, Blythwood, Pollockshields

[FHL IGI 7503419/Sheet 75] [OPR FR 328, 484/1] 1802 January 9 Kip Kippen Stirling Robert KAY married Mary BLAIR

I have sent this to your guest book incase you would be interested in adding it to your information database. I have included confirmation of a previous American life in the following 1855 marriage. My Moore's and Walker's fit in with 1715 transportation.

George and William Blair immigrated to SC in March of 1766 to receive bounty land as poor protestants in Belfast Township, Granville County which later became Old 96, Edgefield. Have copies of land grants. These Blair's went from SC to AL to Scooba, Kemper County, MS and from there all over.

I am interested in learning more about the Blair lineage. Our family came from Cumbernauld, Scotland. My great grandmother was Janet Blair and she married James Wylie but I am not sure of the date. Both of my great grandparents died within a day of each other in 1923 in Blossburg, PA.

Any information si greatly appreciated. Since my son is named Blair, I would like to complete a geneology for him. Thank you, Mary Isablelle

Has anyone noticed that Blair is the best surname ever. It's my maiden name. I have never changed it. Have not met anyone with a better name than mine. I guess I will have to find an unrelated Blair to marry.

I am a descendent of Janet Blair Wylie and migrated to the United States from Cumernaud, Scotland. I am not certain if this is the correct family connection or not but would certainly be interested in finding out.

I only recently found out that I had Blairs in my ancestry. So nice to see such a full web site!

These Blairs came to America from Ireland.

My gr-gr-gr-gr grandfather (on my mother's side) was John Billingsley born on August 17, 1774, in St. Marys, Maryland, and died on September 19, 1844, in Warren County, Kentucky. He married MARTHA BLAIR who was born on February 14, 1776, in North Carolina, and died in 1860 in Johnson County, Texas. Martha’s father was JOHN BLAIR who was born in 1742 in North Carolina and died in 1778 in Guilford County, North Carolina. He was married to Jean ? in about 1763 in North Carolina. John’s father was also named JOHN BLAIR. He was born in 1700 in Ireland, and died before February 1772. John’s wife was named Mary, and she was born in Ireland in 1702 and died in North Carolina in 1770.

My brother, Tony Blair (no,not that one), who lives in Canterbury, England, and I have been working on our family history and tree for some time now, Tony significantly longer than I. Totally we have over 1300 names researched and confirmed. One limb of our tree goes back to the early 1500's in England and includes a VC (Victoria Cross, Britains highest award for bravery) recipient and a Royal Navy Admiral who fought with Nelson in the Napoleonic war. On the Blair side we are stuck in the early to mid 1700's with Richard Blair who married Sarah Mitchenor in New Shoreham, Sussex England on June 21st, 1753. We have not been able to trace the birth of Richard anywhere in southern England and we are now assuming that he was probably born in Scotland possibly in the Perth area, and went to England after the downfall of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Anyone that has any link to a Richard Blair and/or Sarah Mitchenor in the New Shorham area, Sussex area of England, and has any detail of Richard's ancestry, we would appreciate hearing from them. Likewise any information we can share we would be happy to do so. Most of our research has in fact been done by my brother in England and I have played the roll of putting the information in to a family tree maker programme, with some internet research thrown in. We look forward to hearing from somebody, either with information that may help us, or requesting information from us that may assist them.

The site looks quite impressive.
I have been looking for information on my gr grand-father Samuel "Sam" Blar and his wife Catherine B. "Mary" Harris. Sam was killed in the Civil War leaving a widow and only child, William Samuel Blair. "Mary" remarried at some point to a Cannon, but there was no further issue. Census records indicate that the two gr grandparents were born in Georgia. W. S. Blair shows to be born in Harris County, GA. My father and most of his brothers and sisters were born in Talbot County, GA. But the last two were born in Van Zandt County, TX.

I am very impressed with this web site. My late Aunt (member of DAR) passed along quite a bit of geneology information to me before she died. Unfortunately my information stops in Scotland with a James Blair. I have filled out the application for memborship in the BSGR and look forward to exploring this fascinating history of ours!

Our lineage begins in Scotland with James Blair who fathered Hugh Blair, who emigrated to America in 1746 from Scotland. His son, John, was a participant in Revolutionary War as a private. The line proceeds from Pennsylania to Virginia to Tennessee to Texas, my home. I am currently researching more information on James Blair of Scotland.

Thank you, Don Blair

Well your site is very good but seems to concentrate only on Blairs in the USA and not two much on where they came from i.e. scotland or ireland. my family emigrated from wogtownshire(Garlieston) to New Brunswick( Moncton) in the late 1800's early 1900 but returned to Garlieston some3 years later. I am trying to trace if I have any relatives in that area.

We have traced it back through the NSW BDM's as far as James Blair & Mary Young who set up house at Port McQuarie.
