About Cormacks of Caithness Our History
My Cormack Family is from the Wick, Thurso, Bower, Dunnet, Olrig, areas of Caithness,
Scotland. The Cormacks were farmers, Dunnet Farm, Greenvale, Mains.Olrig, Culgower Farm
and Navidale Farm from what I can gather. My name is Quillen and I live in Southern
California. I got interested in trying to find family history when I tried to research
my gran fathers WWI medal.I stumbled on Helmsdale.org and signed the guest book. Soon
after I discovered a distant cousin who had read it and it went on from there. My gran
fathers entire family emigrated here to the USA in the late 1920's.They where primarily
all on the East Coast, New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. In the mid 1960's George
and Alec came to California and settled in Santa Barbara. My gran Dad returned to
Scotland to live in Helmsdale. We moved from Connecticut to Ventura County, California,
about 50 miles from my Uncles. In the mid 1970's James returned again to
Carpenteria,CA. in the Santa Barbara area where he passed away in 1985. I have
discovered many distant relatives and look forward to connecting with everyone through
this site.
