I' am a Dutch Carmichael. We completed our family tree (starting in 1610) and we are trying to find the roots back. The first name in our tree is Robert Carmichael. He was a scottish weaponmaker and he supported Holland as a member of the Scottish Brigades in the war against the Spanish (the so-called 80 years-war during 1558 untill 1648) He arrived in Holland in appr. 1610. Congratualations with your site.

Very nice site! I am glad that I ran across it! I plan on trying to trace our family history back a bit farther, and hopefully this site will be of help. If anyone has info on an "Abraham Carmichael" father of "John Carmichael" who were possibly Tennessee or Georgia residents in the mid-1800's this would help me a great bit! Email it to
DJLogan910@yahoo.com -- Who knows we could be cousins!?!?!?!?!

Thank you,

Great find, your site! I actually have a connection to the tree: I am the 3x great granddaughter of Euphemia Carmichael (b.1795 in W Greenock, Refrewshire, Scotland). It was her brother, Malcolm, who emigrated to
Canada and started the line over there.

Isaac Newton Carmichael, son of John Carmichael and Jane LaFever was my great grandfather.

I enjoyed your site very much, and I may have cleared up the confusion about my ancestor Lemuel Carmichael(1784) who married a Suzy(Susannah Brown?).He was listed in the census of Jefferson County,TN-1850 as being from NC.I thought his father's name was John(info from another cousin)but not certain.But he may be the Lemuel who was the son of Duncan Carmichael -&- Charity Witt of NC.I don't know how to check it out but if anyone can help me I would appreciate it.Lemuel had a son named Lemuel, Jr.who married a Susannah M.I have visited their gravesite at Dumplin Church Cemetary in Jefferson County,TN.Their son Porter married a Martha Roberts.Their daughter Maggie was my grandmother,who died in 1906 at age 38 a week after giving birth to a little girl. My father was age 3 and his grandmother Martha Carmichael raised him and his older brother and another of his sisters.I just started looking into this about a year ago so I'm new at this but I've learned so much about my ancestors and I'm hooked.
 
Michele Veith   17/Nov/2001:22:25:14
I saw your Carmichael family on the internet and was wondering if you know if James Carmichael b. 1830 in Ireland had a brother named John who also moved to New York. Thanks in advance for your help!
 
Ann Jacobs   17/Nov/2001:19:03:07
Am researaching James Carmichael born 1815 in Kilrey, Londonderry Co., Ireland. He served in the British Army came to Canada in 1836 with the Army. Stayed, married and raised a family before moving on the Ogle
Co., Illinois then to Dodge Co., Nebraska, then to Sherman Co., Kansas and finally in 1890 moved to Uray Co., Colorado where he died in 1908. His father was Daniel Carmichael and mother was Nancy Murdock. Would like to exchange with one and all.

Tracie Woodhams   15/Nov/2001:17:26:34
Thank you for a wonderful tour of the Family.. I am descended from Carmichaels of Dumfries??? Scotland and my GGgrandfather was Alexander born Dec. 1 1776 married to Agnes Lawson( They had 9 Children). His son
(Frederick Alexander Born 1806 in Dumfries) and two brothers immigrated to Canada after his Marriage to Mary Lynch in 1829. They went to Kings county, New Brunswick, Canada and aalso went to saint John's. They Had Twelve children. From there they came west, first to Kenora Ontario and then on to Bradner, BC. there are many of us still here and I am wondering if we could be related. Some of my cousins are in Missouri,
Kansas, washington but most of us continue to live in Beautiful BC.

Thank you for including me on your web page, my trip to england and scotland has been derailed for awhile due to the events of Sept 11, I am a firefighter for Los Angeles County Fire Department and have been one for 25 years, and the loss of the FDNY firefighters touched me deeply to the point I traveled last month to new york to support our fellow brothers. I went to 6 memorials and visited the men at local new york fire station just to listen and talk. I also visited ground zero, to feel a part of what the men felt while looking for their lost brothers. Hopefully if and when things settledown I can go forward on my research of our ancesters. Lets not forget the ones we lost,

Robert F. Carmichael   23/Oct/2001:18:09:05
Am trying to verify information about my great grandfather Archibald Carmichael. Per LDS Scottish Church Records he was born either 1811 or 1814 in Barony, Lanark to Ronald Carmichael -&- Mary Campbell. He emigrated to Prince Edward Island about 1840, married Mary Trainor. The records do not show a sibling named Robert, however, I have copies of land deeds that show that Archibald and Robert each inherited 50 acres of farm land from a Robert Carmichael. Obviously this was their father.
Archibald's siblings were John, Donald, Margaret, Catherine and Sarah, all born in Glasgow. His children wre Robert, Bridget, Clara,James, Duncan, Peter and Mary Margaret. Any information to help clear this confusion would be appreciated.

Robert B. Carmichael   06/Sep/2001:14:18:25
Terrific site but I must belong to the blacksheep Carmichael's. I have not been able to find my branch anywhere and can only go back to my g grandfather who was Hugh Andrew Carmichael born in Manchester, Eng in 1854. Married Mary Jane Lally of Boston, MA around 1875. He died in Everett, MA, 05/28/1913. My grandfather, Andrew George Carmichael, was one of 17 offspring and was born 10/14/1886. Have reason to believe my gg grandfather was Hugh R. Carmichael, who married Mary Coyne, but that is ALL the information I currently have on them. Can anyone help ?

This was so interesting, I have often thought of searching for my family history, and you may have made my search very easy. I will contact my grandmother to find out if we may be related. If so there is a huge branch of us here in Australia that you may need to know about. Even if we are not related your site is very interesting. Feel free to

Dear Linda (and Matt),
Hello! I hope you remember me. I wrote to you last year regarding the Gioia part of your family. In going through the guest book, my cousin, Anthony Rist is also researching. I never mentioned your site, he found it on his own! Anyhow...your site is great and I hope you can help me a little bit more. I am going to Scottdale, PA, within the next two weeks. I really don't know at this point if there is a true relationshipship between Donato and my grandfather Vincenzo. My grandfather came here in 1905. I do know he had two brothers, Francesco and Giovanni Gioia. I believe they are buried in St. John the Baptist Cemetery in PA. You had mentioned a possible cousin in
your e-mail last year. Could you e-mail her and give my e-mail address to her. Maybe she'll know some info that could help me find out more history and facts. I will write to you again on my return from PA.
Thank you,
Diane Bronico
 
James L. Small   28/Jul/2001:00:07:51
My grandfather is Alonzo Taylor Carmichael of Ladoga, Indiana. He was known as "A.T." and his wife was Mae Gibson. My mother was the next to youngest of their many children. Her name is Wilma Louise Carmichael. If you have information going further back in this line of the Carmichael family, please send me an e-mail. I am just getting started with my search and have no idea where to go. I stumbled on to this site by accident while looking for something else. It is great!

Thanks,

Faith Iannandrea   24/Jul/2001:16:10:24
Hello,again,Well,we made the trip to Sudbury last week, and went to a Eyre Cemetary. which one of the older cemetaries in the area. But unfortunately,they are Carmichael's there. but not my family. I guess maybe being so long ago,either stone is not longer visible to read,or just not been recorded on the list at City Cemetaries.

I was a little disappointed so this will end my search in that area. I will just have to accepted the the findings of the geneologists and let it go at that. Thank you for your help during these past years.
 
Jim Proctor   22/Jul/2001:23:24:47
I am interested in finding more about my Logan ancestors. My great great great granddad was George W. Logan. His father was John Jack Logan; his grandfather was Major Francis Logan and his great grandfather was Hendrick Logan from Scotland.

If you have any information about these folks or any general information about the Logans in Scotland I would love to hear about it.

My wife and I now live in a house G.W. Logan bought in 1866.

Dear Matthew,

I just checked in on your MacMurchy home page to see what was new. Wow, you have really been finding out LOTS of new things, and I was impressed by your thoroughness before! One thing I did want to mention is that I'm the granddaughter of Margaret Gordon MacMurchy, and I'm the one who wrote you before. You must have seen Tommy's name on the email signature. That's OK, Nana always thought very highly of my husband, as indeed do I!

It's getting too late to explore further tonight, but I look forward to updating my information from your invaluable database. Many thanks, not only for your careful research, but also for your graciousness in sharing your findings. I hope to visit Canada (for the first time!) next summer, and would be very happy to meet you.

Your cousin in Georgia,
Susan Wilkinson

Hello im from Cheshire
 
Charles Towle   15/Jul/2001:22:08:09
I just purchased a home in Clifton Forge (Longdale Furnace) Virginia that was built in 1873 by William Firmstone and his wife Mary E. According to a deed dated 1869 he was from Northampton County Pennsylvania.

This is a 10,000 sf. Victorian that is a National and VA Historic register in the Longdale Historic District. . Firmstone had purchased The Longdale Iron Co.

He introduced the first "hot blast" ore smelting to this furnace which had been going since 1830. The furnace still stands thus the Historic District. We understand he was from England but have no other record. This is quite a home with 8 fireplaces all with imported Italian marble. He had no children and am researching the Firmstone name and came across your page.

This has been a Bed-&-Breakfast for some years and we call it The Firmstone Manor.

Sharon   28/Jun/2001:14:30:42
Matt,
Thanks for responding so quickly. If James is not in your line then there is even more McMurchys out there than I thought. I have John as the twin brother of James(b1806). James and Martha Milloy married in 1820. That would make James 14 years old when he got married. --Sharon

Dear Matt:
My name is JoAnn Caspar. I am trying to find out if I am related to Hoagie Carmichael. I am descended from Archibald Carmichael by way of Sarah Carmichael who married Thomas J. East. Sarah Carmichael was the daughter of Richard and Mary (Grover) Carmichael. Thomas J. East was the son of Thomas P. East. Richard Carmichael was the son of Archibald. My grandfather was William Reilly East. I'm confused as to how many generations are between William R. East and Thomas P. East.
Maybe you can help me with that. I have all the information but it is very confusing.

I just found your web page and it is very nice. I am looking for a Lewis Carmichael b 7 May 1825/11 Nov 1912(tombstone) and NY (1860 census). He married Mary E. Bunce 6 July 1829/ 5 March 1873 from Conn. They are buried in Toma Co., IA.

Their children are Mary E 1851 Conn, Henry F 1854/1924 IA, Edwin C 1858 IA, Charles H 1859/ 4 Feb 1915 IA, Agnes 1863 IA, marries John Spafford, Stephen D 1865 IA, Hattie E 1865 IA (twins) and my great-grandmother Lina Mae 1867 IA marries Franklin Thomas Watson.

I found two Lewis Carmichael's in NY but their ages don't match. Any help would be appreciated. I am praying someone has a branch just waiting for my message.

Hello Carmichael's.
 
Colin Carmichael   13/Jun/2001:08:01:55
I'm a native of Liverpool, in the North-West of England, and at the request of my father, I'm conducting research into my family history, which I'm beginning to realise is far more difficult than I expected. My father is the youngest of nine children, and the last of his elderly brothers has recently died, leaving us with the realisation that as these people die, so do the breadcrumbs for us to follow. I'm at the point at which I have a fairly complete record of three generations behind myself, and some further indications of up to another two further generations (stemming from Scotland). If anybody feels that they're in a position to contribute to my research, or would like to ask any questions, then please feel free to contact me.

Linda -&- Matt, Your site is extremely well done, I found it through my Putman-Wyandt research, looking for Logans. My 4th great-grandmother Amelia Putman Wyandt's sister,Catherine Putman, married William Logan, Sr. and Amelia's son Henry's daughter,Catherine Wyandt, married Wm.Logan,Sr.'s son,John Logan in Stark County,Ohio. I have most of the Weyandt/Wyandt/Wyand family history if you are interested in reading it. Catherine's father Henry and his brother Jacob were the first two settlers and also the founders of the town of Wilmot,Ohio where she was born. My 3rd great-grandfather John Weyandt was their brother, an early settler in Monroe Township, Harrison County, Ohio. This family is full of early settlers, and several more who founded towns in Ohio -&- PA. They are a fascinating family,I am having a wonderful time with this work. I am glad and grateful to add the rest of the Logans to my family history, plus the Carmichaels -&- Firmstones, etc. as new collateral
families. Thank yo

My husband -&- I have inherited an oil painting of a cow in a stream. It is signed Carmichael 1914. The only connection we can find with our family is that my husband's great aunt Edna McSherry married Raymond Carmichael in Baltimore MD around the early 1900's. It is a lovely painting and we are interested in its history. If anyone knows about an artist named Carmichael, we would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks

Hi, my name is Anthony. I am researching the Gioia's from Scottdale, PA. I dont know too much about them. This is what I have...

Vincenzo Gioia m. Nicolina ? in Italy I'm assuming. They had a son named Vincenzo Gioia who married Theresa Rocco b. 1884 d. 1972. Vincenzo and Theresa had 3 children; Rose b. 1908 (my g-grandmother) in Scottdale. Anthony b. 1910 in Scottdale, and Mary b. 1922 in New York. All of them are still living in New York. Rose and Anthony moved to Gaiano, Province of Palermo, italy when they were both very young with their parents. And then came back to the US probably around 1920. I
dont know if we are connected at all, but with you Gioia's from westmoreland co, and mine from westmoreland I'm sure theres a connection somewhere. Please get back to me with that you know. I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Matt and Linda, I have just visited your web page and it is great, good work. I am very fond of the music you play, could you tell me what it is?

I wish we shared some family names but, we do share an interest in the Scottish and Irish background. I have McKnight, McKissick, Dickson, Duff, Lindsey, Scott and Wilson.

Many thanks,

HI: Linda -&- Matt
I'm always looking for information on any ties to the family, got some news I think I have finally found there are relatives out there. a Marni Bell has replied back to me,could be a relative to the family of Isabella Martin(Carmichael)who was married to Anson Bonsteel. I'm also waiting to hear from a Dean Bonesteel. All this has been possible from your help with the information on the Carmichaels Thank so much.
Faith

Dear Matt,
I have logged on to your website several times and always seem to be short on time, but this time I'm going to write. I live in Albany, OR and I have traced my family back to Hillsburg, Ontario. I read with interest the history of Hillsburg written by Thelma Gray. I think my ggggrandfather, George Henshaw was her ggrandfather. Anyway, do you know of anyway I could contact her? I will print her history of Hillsburg for my files. Thank you for doing such an awesome job on doing your family history and your website. Thank you,
Sheri Henshaw Neuschwander

Hello and God bless,
My name is Deb Culp of Albany, N.Y., daughter of Carlton Graeme Carmichael. I came across the website purely by accident this morning,looking for my stepmother's e-mail address. What a beautiful tribute to the family name. The music alone made me cry with joy. There aren't many Carmichaels here in Albany and my father passed away a few years ago. There are just a few details I remember concerning my grandfather and three uncles who came to the United States in the early 1900's. I believe my grandfather's name was Graeme and the names of two of his brothers were, Forrest and Duncan Carmichael. I am the oldest of three daughters. ( my older brother Carlton Carmichael Jr. was killed in an automobile accident in 1971 ). My youngest sister, Beatrice continues to use our family name. Hope to hear from fellow ancestors soon, I may be able to help link a bit more information together for you. Sincerely,

Matthew,

What a wonderful web-site! You can almost smell the heather!

My daughter, Sharon Agabra, has been in contact with you about our McMurchy's from Scotland and to be brief, I am wondering if you have "made a connection". We descend from William b. 1744 in Campbeltown and m. Janet Clark.

The line is then: James b. 11 Feb 1772 m, Margaret Langlands
John b. 18 Sep 1805 m. Elizabeth Winters
Elizabeth b. 02 Mar 1833 m. Levi Pemberton

Elizabeth (Eliza) was my greatgrandmother, and the first to be born in this country, Clermont Co, OH.

It seems like such a "rare" surname, but I have just found another "cousin" in Mississippi, descended from Alexander McMurchy,brother of   John.

Hope to one day make a connection, as I think they are all related somewhere along the line.

My very best to you in your efforts.
 
Joanne Richards   02/Apr/2001:23:21:42
First off I just have to say what a great website you have!

I've just recently confirmed that I am the ggggrandaughter of Susannah Firmstone. According to Richard Beesley she is the daughter of Peter Firmstone and Eliza Challingsworth, I should tell you that I have yet to order the birth certificate of Susannah Firmstone. He also has several more siblings not mentioned on your website. (he's doing a one name study of firmstone)

My next task is to order her marriage certificate and from that I can determine the name of Susannah's father - hopefully Peter otherwise ignore this email! :-O). I have so many lines on the go at the moment that I'm zinging in all different directions. Although since I am hoping to put together as detailed as possible tree for my grandmother
for my visit to England in June I will be concentrating on the Firmstone connection for the moment.

If my calculations are correct that would mean that I am a 4th cousin once removed to Linda?

All for no
 
James Carmical   01/Apr/2001:14:26:27
I am impressed with your site. I would like to add our spelling to your list of variations in our family name - Carmical. I would also like help in identifying the parents of Patrick Carmichael, husband of  Elizabeth Thompson, who left Ireland in the mid-1700's.
 
Robert McQuillan Car None 28/Mar/2001:11:05:43
Hi everyone,
Only just found the site and like it a lot. I live in Kirkcaldy Scotland but was born and bred in Stirling, the Gateway to the North. I was born 25/1/36, my father John was born 1903, his father John was born 1873 and his father John was born 1843, I know that his father was also named John but have not found his DOB yet. I'll be pleased to hear from anyone who cares to call.
 
Faith Iannandrea   18/Mar/2001:08:44:21
HI: Matt and Linda: Just wondered in you research on my carmichael family,from the Subury area. The family orginated from Scotland more than likely,and I have scanned the article about the Carmichael History, where do you figure that the branch of my family carmichael would have linked with the History of the Carmichael's ? Any-way Our winter has given another blast of winter here, but spring is just around the corner. Take care ciao for now. Faith

Raymond Ritchie   07/Mar/2001:17:38:45
My name is Raymond Ritchie. Being new to geneology, I really feel lost. Maybe you can help, and perhaps I am bothering you for nothing. I am searching for information on my mother's parents. My Grandfather was George DeSantis. He was either born around 1900 in Pennsylvania, or perhaps in Italy. He married Mary Masemore in about 1925. They moved to Niagara Falls, New York and raised 5 daughters. He died in 1948 in Niagara Falls, New York.

If you have no information, perhaps you could provide a suggestion on how to proceed.

Thank you.
