My connection to the clan would be within three generations, my great grandmother's family were Turner by surname. Any help you could give would be appreciated. Thank you, David Price. Hello,

I have an ancestor named Norman Lamont McLeod who came to Melbourne in 1851 aged around 17. He set up business in King Street, Melbourne. His parents were William McLeod, a cooper in Dumbarton, and his mother was born Jeanett McDougale. Whether they travelled with their son to Australia or not I'm not sure. A death notice was published in 1900. I'm assuming because of his middle name he had a Lamont ancestor, and although I've found promising leads on that DNA/Lamont site, I haven't struck gold yet. Can you help me ? All The Best.. (PS- The McLeod side is stumping me too - - No relevant William and Jeanett McLeods to be found in Scotland either) Hi

My 2G x grandmother was born in Blair Athol in 1816 Margaret Jean Lamont and married a Peter McDougall - Blacksmith from Fortingall. They came to South Australia on the Buckinghamshire in 1839 with her brother Peter Lamont and family. I am therefore direct line descendent of the Lamont family. I understand that her father was Peter Lamont (1770) and he married Jean Stewart. I also have McLean, McNaughton and several other clans within the blood line. What I am trying to find out is the situation in Scotland in the 1830's that forced my ancestors to migrate. We are planning a trip to Scotland next year and plan to visit as many villages of my 2G grandparents as possible - so far my wife and I have 28 to visit so we are going to be very busy. I would appreciate if you have any information of the situation in Blair Athol and any recommendations as to where we could visit or if you have access to information that helps with the tracing of this side of the family. Thank you for your assistance Regards Roger Powell Dear Sirs,
