I was browsing the Rootsweb site when I came across postings from 2000 and 2006. I hope Susan is still taking an interest in her Scottish family as I am fairly sure her Rhynie family come from the parish of Auchindoir and Howmill in particular.
My interest in this family arrises from the marriage of William LAW, b 1766 Howmill to Elizabeth LAW, b 1771 Cloghill in parish of Newhills. I have not been able to prove it but I think I am from Elizabeth's side of the family and probably related to both branches.
