THE GILLIES FAMILY AR FROM NORTH MORAR IN SCOTLAND.
IAM ONE OF TWELVE CHILDREN MY PARENTS WERE KATHLEEN
AND RANALD GILLIES
I HAVE TRACED MY FAMILY TREE BACK FIVE GENERATIONS
TO 1775.
IT HAS BEEN VERY INTERESTING THERE IS SCOTTISH AND IRISH BLOOD I THE FAMILY
MY FATHER RANALD WAS A WELL KNOWN FISHERMAN IN MALLAIG SCOTLAND
HIS FATHER JOHN WAS ALSO A FISHERMAN BUT HE ALSO WORKED ON THE RAILWAY WHEN IT WAS EXTENDED TO MALLAIG IN THE EARLY 1900s
MY GREAT GRANDFATHERS WERE FISHEMEN AND CROFTERS.
ONE OF MY GRANDFATHERS DUNCAN GILLIES MARRIED MARGARET
GILLIES
THEY HAD NINE CHILDREN,DONALD AND CHRISTIANA GILLIES ALSO
HAD TEN CHILDREN.ALL THE FAMILY WERE CATHOLICS SO IT WAS
VERY HARD TO FIND A LOT OF INFORMATION.THE PRIEST VISITED THEIR HOUSES VERY RARELY HE HAD LONG DISTANCES TO TRAVEL THE
FAMILY KEPT THEIR FAITH AT ALL TIMES
I AM WILLING TO PASS ON ANY INFORMATION I HAVE TO ANYONE
INTERESTED AND I WOULD BE GRATEFUL TO RECEIVE ANY HOWEVER SMALL
