I’m a “Black” American woman but upon some research recently found out that we descend from the Honorable Clan MacMhuirrich. My family has been the Currie’s of NC for a very long time. I have Waccamaw Siouan heritage also. History is just so fascinating! I don’t bother to worry myself over how all this came to be. I just know I’m proud to be a Currie today! Thanks for this awesome informative clip I can’t wait to visit the beautiful highlands, the birthplace of my great ancestors. #ClanCurrie 🙌🏾

My Currie/ Curry also came from NC. Red Springs actually near Fayetteville. And left for GA in 1839. Wondering if we have some of the same ( more recent) ancestors.

Thanks for the great post! My Great, Great Grandfather, Niall Currie emigrated (to the U.S.) from Islay in the mid 19th century.

[@edwardnoelke5587]

It was great to hear about the Currie history. My great-great grandfather, John Currie, emigrated to Ontario from the island of Islay in 1833. I'm very proud of my Scottish and Scots-Irish background.

[@kathrynreinders9339]

You might be related to me. Though there was more than one John Currie who emigrated from Islay at that time.

[@edwardnoelke5587]

@@kathrynreinders9339 I will give you some background on John Currie to see if we may be related. Born 7-10-1795 Killarrow, Islay. Parents were Neil Currie and Charlotte Murdoch. Married Catherine Gilchrist in 1823 in Islay. They had 7 children in Scotland and Ontario. Flora.Catherine,Janet,Margaret,Archibald,Rev.Hugh. Archibald is my great grandfather. Thanks for getting in touch . Ed Noelke

@@edwardnoelke5587 holy! Archie was my Dad's Great Uncle. I have a clock he gave my Grandpa for his wedding to my Grandma in my living room!

[@edwardnoelke5587]

@@kathrynreinders9339 Are your relatives from Sunnidale Corners, Simcoe County, Ontario? If so we are probably 3rd or 4th cousins.

[@kathrynreinders9339]

@@edwardnoelke5587 possible - I think I've got it figured out. Your John and Archibald are not the same as mine. I got too excited. My ancestor I believe is actually your John's brother Donald, born in 1797. Donald then married Anna Gilchrist in 1826. They immigrated and settled in Nottawasaga township, Simcoe ON.
