It was an exciting weekend on Jura with an exhibition in the hall of 1,984 copies of 1984 on display. The launch of The Winston Libary at Jura Village Hall in Craighouse was visited by many people over the weekend. Curated by Hans K Clausen to celebrate 75 years since George Orwell wrote 1984 at Barnhill on Isle of Jura, the launch part on Saturday also saw the launch of a special edition 1984 gin from Lussa Gin inspired by George Orwell and his time on Jura.
My great great great grandfather was born in Jura. Would like to know more of the genealogy of Jura. He later emigrated to Colonsay and from there to Elderslie, Ontario,Canada. We have Buie and Blue in our line. My DNA sample from Ancestry.com shows I do have some Viking. Would like to know more. John Galbreath was born in 1781 in Jura and married Mary McNeill 26 August 1809 in Jura, Argyll, Scotland. I would like to know John Galbreath’s father and their family , as well asMary McNeill btw Mary was born 1798 in Jura, Scotland.
