Gavin, a reader of the Jura Blog, sent me a link to a remarkable Jura related website which turned out to be a highly interesting resource. The website is hosted at rootsweb and is a treat for genealogists and others. The pages are created by Susan M. Rumble and are about her family tree which contains information personally researched. These pages also include research gifted by fellow researchers. Besides many family names from which many generations are written down and go back as far as five generations. Besides the family trees there is a lot of information and pictures of graveyard inscriptions for Jura, Colonsay and Oronsay.
The site also holds a most enjoyable image collection with black and white photographs of Jura, like the on attached below. The photographs are mainly about the people who lived on the island and not so much about the landscape. I have spent a lot of time on the website looking at all the pictures which is great fun. This is a highly recommended website. Click here to visit.
John Darroch could be my grandads eldest brother born 1865 in Feoline farm Jura .His father Donald and mother Flora maiden name Campbell
Hi Fred, I was interested in your Darroch line as my ancestors are related to Donald Darroch and Flora Campbell. One of their daughters was Marion Darroch and she is my great grandmother. I think the John Darroch in the picture is not the same line as John from Feolin farmhouse drowned at age 28. I am happy to share the info I have with you, regards Colin Anderson
