I am looking to find a book of family history on the Ralstons out of Campbeltown, Mull Of Kintyre."Saga Of Our Kintyre Kin".The book was put together by two Ralston sisters.Being a family history book there were probably not too many published.
If anyone comes across one would you please give me a shout..
Thanking you.

Marilyn.
I did manage to get over to my local L.D.S.center and have a read at the book' SAGA OF MY KINTYRE KIN'
It is a very interesting family history written by two Ralston sisters from the .U.S.A. who went over to the Mull of Kintyre and spent 3 months on their family history,a lot of which is documented at various places around the Mull.Like on the wall of the Campbelltown public library,a depicted family tree.They also went back the next year for an other 5 weeks to verify their findings.In my humble opinion, one h--l of a job.
Yes I did get a fair amount of info, but not precisely what I was looking for,but it did point me in a direction which I will pursue on my visit to the Mull in April.
Again thank you for your interest and the direction that you gave to me
