On the beach at Goleta.
On the pier at Santa Barbara.
With my Canadian cousins outside Diane's house in Goleta.
On the Friday I rode the Amtrak California Surfliner to Ventura.
Leslie (LAscotswoman) has carried out extensive research on Cunningham genealogy, and has particular expertise in the lineage of the Earls of Glencairn who were traditionally also Chief of Clan Cunningham. I had arranged to meet her at the Edinburgh gathering earlier this year and now I was in Ventura to assist her with her Clan Cunningham tent.
One of our visitors was Madelyn, who lives in California and with whom I had made contact through Ancestry.com and whose great grandfather's cousin's widow had adopted my maternal grandmother. She had visited Scotland in May of this year with her sister Joyce when I had taken them on a tour of addresses in the Glasgow and Paisley areas where their ancestors had lived.
More to follow shortly
