Oldest Known Relative Carmichael Marmaduke, Tamworth, NSW, Australia
Comments: I am a descendent of Marmaduke Carmichael (Great Great Grandfather).

The name Marmaduke has been passed down through 5 generations (that I know of) usually to the eldest born son. Duke (which is often the nick name given to Marmaduke) has also been used as a middle name within our family.

Along with the Marmaduke name there is a family bible that came out to Australia with Marmaduke Carmichael and has been handed down through the generations.

Surnames you are researching McMurchy-Murphy
Comments: We also have a connection to the McMurchy families of Kintyre. My husband's ancestor was a Thomas b1744 married Margaret Porter. Her sister Isabell married John McMurchy. They went from Campbeltown in 1770 to Cape Fear, North Carolina and changed their name to Murphy by 1790.
I am trying to find who they connect to. The Porters go back to Robert of Crossbeig, but I cannot find the McMurchy connection.
Just wanted you to know they did not all settle in the north.

Surnames you are researching MacMurchy
Comments: I am writing as I stumbled across your web site and wondered if there is a link between your family and my husband's. He is descended from Elizabeth Bell Margaret McMurachy, daughter of James Archibald (b. 19 Jan 1826, Ontario) and Mary McEachern (b. 28 Dec 1834, England). James Archibald's father is James McMurachy. I have no information about him but it is possible that he is the same James McMurachy listed in the IGI (19 FEB 1806 Campbell Town, , Argyll, Scotland).

Although they seem to have come from Canada before your family, they also came from Campbeltown. I also notice the similarity between the name McEachern (our name) and McEachran (your name) that might possibly relate to the same family.

This family lived in Ontario (known as York back then), and then moved to Hamiota, Manitoba in the 1880s.

Anyway if you have any information that might help I would be most grateful.

Comments: I am a Carmichael, too. I live in Turkey, because my mother is Turkish. My father is William John Carmichael, and his father also named John. They are living in Texas. He told me about the story of Carmichaels, that they came from Scotland, so I think we are also coming from the same family you mention. I don't know the names of the other relatives yet. But, the Carmichaels printed a book about their roots, and in that book many relatives are mentioned.

Comments: What a wonderful website. I've never seen another like it.

I'm taking an on-line genealogy class and your 1st cousin, once removed Fran O'Rourke suggested to all of us to visit this wonderful site. I have been looking at various sites to get ideas for the one I'd like to start so was eager to view it. Wow! The work you must have done. The layout and content couldn't be better. Only one work can describe it. Awesome!
I am from Michigan. Born in Detroit and raised in St. Clair Shores and Mt. Clemens (Macomb Co.) My mothers family settled in St. Clair and Sanilac Co. after migrating from Ireland thru Canada.
I enjoyed reading everything on your site even though there were no family connections. Keep up the good work. You can be very proud of your accomplishment.
