Cormack Dunnet Farm 1800's

[Ian Semple]

I have information on my wife's gggg grandfather George Cormack who lived at Dunnet Farm in the early 1800's. Is there anyone in the Caithness area researching the Cormack Family?.

I have a relative Elizabeth Cormack who married a Magnus Bain in the early 1800's. Don't know if they are connected.

I don't think I have a connection Colin, look at my other post for the info I have.

Cheers Ian. Think I am going to have to do a lot more searching. I keep finding more and more names in my family tree from Caithness, it is getting to the stage I dont know where to start next.
