Hello Johan, My Canadian cousins have sent me a copy of your Dec. and Jan.e,mails to help my own research so perhaps I can add to yours too. I am Sheila Margaret Stevenson White.That alone will give you a clue to my background. Margaret Stevenson Dunlop, my mother,was 3rd daughter of John Dunlop and Maggie Stevenson of Laggan Islay Maggie Stevenson was the only daughter of Hugh Stevenson and Elizabeth Stewart [of Nether Carswell Neilston] Hugh Stevenson, my great grandfather was third son of Hugh Stevenson and Margaret Carswell at Barrhouse Neilston. They did move from farm to farm in these days. THere seems no doubt that we have a family connection, albeit somewhat distant. At least I am not in Canada! The Dunlops at Laggan emigrated to Canada in 1912 and only my mother returned to marry 11years later in Glasgow, and here I am. I live in Milngavie just north of the city and when I am driving into the city I see Neilston Pad clearly on the horizon and I feel I have not moved far from my roots at all. I would be very interested to read the contents of Hugh Stevenson's will because I now hold documents relating to him and his business acumen. Many years ago my mother Peggy S Dunlop corresponded with Stevensons in Timaru. That interests me too. I would be very pleased to exchange family information from the past with you. I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about the Stevenson branch. Sheila White. My mother Margt.S.Dunlop, b.1890 Islay, lived there for 22 years, then Canada Alberta for 11years farming and the last 60 years in the Glasgow area. My mother missed her busy farming life and sisters when she settled in the city and that is probably why she talked so much of life in Islay and in Canada where I had more than twenty cousins. Sheila
