Introduction

I have been researching my Munro Family History since approximately 2000.  I had some information when I began, but I became really interested when I found that the Internet could provide more detailed information.  I have decided to write this blog to help me to set my findings in writing.  I will write individual information about my ancestors and branches of their families.  I will also include local history, vignettes and sources.  I hope that you will find this interesting and informative.

I will begin with my gr gr gr grandfather, John Munro from Kilmuir Easter, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland.  He was born in approximately 1759, and he married Barbara Ross on 27 December 1783 in Kilmuir Easter.  At that time he was known as John Bain.  The name "Bain" was used because "John Munro" was a common name.  It denotes that John Munro had a fair complexion.  John Munro and Barbara  Ross had eight children - Donald Munro, George Munro, Barnet Munro (my gr gr grandfather), Andrew Munro, Elizabeth Munro, John Munro, Edward Munro, and David Munro.

In the coming days I will set out some of the history of Kilmuir Easter and some individual stories and vignettes.  I'm really excited about at last making the actual decision and effort into putting my Munro Family History into writing.
