Jean:
I saw your Catherine McGILLIVRAY in the OPR's for K & K and wondered
who she was. I'll add her to my Catherine database. I'm getting
quite a collection, but will have to take a week off just to bring y
database up to date.
I didn't know what I was starting when I posted Archibald
McGILLIVRAY's letter to the List.
I've had so many responses thanking me for posting the letter to the
List. It really does give a good picture of pioneer conditions in the
1840's, at least in York County. If I had any more I would post them.
Unfortunately, when our Home Farm was sold in 1965, all the old
letters from Scotland from the 1830's on, went in the fireplace.
Every time I think of it, I grind my teeth.

When I get all this information put together, I may just post all the
Catherine's I have to the List and everyone can take from it whoever
belongs to them. That way, it will be in the Archives for future
researchers, all saucered and blowed.
