Comments: Hello fellow clan members!
I am visiting Scotland from July 24th,2022-July 31, 2022. I do hope I am able to visit with other Clan Galbraith members while there. I'll be wearing a kilt made up in the Galbraith tartan ;) I am sad that Castle Culcreuch in Fintry is closed, but I will be driving to see it, nevertheless.
My maternal grandfather was Thomas Patrick Brown, the son of Jane Bodily Galbraith Brown. She was born in Kaysville, Utah on April 2, 1879 to William Wilkie Galbraith and Emma Sarah Bodily Galbraith. William was born May 12,1838 in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England. His parents, George Galbraith and Anne Wilkie were both from Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland.
Please say hello! I am excited to meet new family. Warm regards, Yvonne L. Whitt ;)
Admin reply: Dear Yvonne, Thank you for your note. I hope you have safe travel to Scotland and have a wonderful time in our native homeland. I do hope you get to at least walk the grounds of castle Culcreuch. The the I heard they had closed the road leading to the castle. I like your genealogy that you added also and I will make sure our genealogists get it.

Comments: Hi everyone, My mothers Maiden Name is Kilbreath. Since meeting Paul Galbraith in Townsend TN. It stirred up some reaction in the family about where we came from that I never knew. I'm told that as far back as anyone knows, we came from Oklahoma where my grandfathers grandfather ran away after killing a man over a dispute over a horse to avoid the law. Henceforth, the family of Kilbreath almost all of them live in McDougal Arkansas. Right under the bootheel of Missouri. My mothers Name (maiden) is Wonda Gene Kilbreath Her fathers Name is Wayne Wayford Kilbreath

Comments: Hi, my great great grandfather is William James Galbraith born in 1827. He married Elizabeth Jane Smurford and had four children by the time they sailed to Australia on the Merchantman as a Pensioner Guard. Pretty sure his father was also William Galbraith ad his Mother's name was Mary (I think). Looking for more information regarding ancestors. Regards Robyn
