Correction to picture 008 (That's not Ma and Pa!)


Many thanks to John A. Kennedy - one of the pictures on the site were mistakenly labeled as Nana’s parents.

Hello Robert: The photo 008 in your collection is of John (Johnny Ban) Gillis & Isobel (Macdonald) Gillis and would be Anne's uncle as far as I can make out. My Mother was Janet Isobel (Jessie) Gillis daughter of John (Ban) Gillis and Isobel Macdonald (The photo 008). David was my Mother's uncle. Neil C. Gillis, David's son, was my mother's first cousin. Neil C. use to come from Glendale and visit us in Inverness. I was never in Glendale but heard lots of stories. If my memory serves me right I think one of the girls became a Nun. There is still one of Neil C's boys living in Glendale his name is Hugh. I got this information from my brother in Inverness. I have the picture of Johnny (Ban) (The man with the fiddle) and Isobel in my photo album. I got it from my Mother. They are buried in the churchyard at Glencoe. I hope this clarifies some of the info in your write-up. It was nice chatting with you. Best regards. John.
