Would it be appropriate for me to drop down some of My Family above Ballantine / Bannatyne, Ballantyne research to help people? Or wait for queries. It's just that my line had no research done on them until I did it. Bute Sons & Daughters site none, Ancestry.com, none. Apart from another side of Bannatyne who were Stewart Family. Mine were from Campbells.

In a search for Bannatyne etal names spelling Talking Scots has only maybe two (?)

And one of them is probably me

I have traced my Ballantynes forward from 1851 to 1901 but haven't yet tried to go any further back. Must do it sometime,

Well maybe we could collaborate. Bron

That would be great! My Ballantynes start with George Ballantyne married to Catherine McKENZIE in 1851 (Glasgow). He was a Merchant seaman. I think his parents were Thomas(?) and Marion but I now have a contact who tells me George was the son of John Ballantyne and Agnes Wood. I can't make that connection work but she is convinced. If you feel like sorting that one out I'd be very grateful!
