Skeen/Skene

auntbonbon2004 — 3 Feb 2008 10:52:53 GMT

I have traced my grandmothers line back several generations through the Skeen line. I have started seeing the Skene variation of the name. I would like to find anyone who might have ancestry/desendency for this line. I have found a line back to Adam Skene (b late 1300s in Scotland) the 5th laird of Skene who married Janet Keith. I have followed the line down to a John Skene b 1649 marr Helen Fullerton. At this point I have a lapse in generations until Jonathan Alexander Skeen b 1730 marr Susannah Rees. I would like to know if this is actually the same line and who is in the middle that I am missing. I have the line from Jonathan Alexander Skeen down to myself complete just need to make that connection or find the correct line. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Help appreciated identifying a tartan

I have a black and white photograph circa 1900 of my grandfather wearing tartan. I'd like to know which one it is - it's probably either Cameron or Mackintosh.

If anyone out there thinks they might be able to help, grateful if you could send me an e-mail address and I'll forward the photograph to you.
