Hi there!!
I was looking for something else and the title of your thread caught my eye :))
The areas you are covering your search might need to be refined a bit more only because you are at two sides of Scotland nearly!!
Ok Ardnamurachan is covered under the county of Argyll....not Inverness or Inverness-Shire, and also Arisaig IS Inverness-Shire not Ardnamurachan.......does that make any sense??? I hope I've explained that as best as I can and I also think I know of the family you need information for as I come from Arisaig originally that's why I know the area!! Back of Keppoch is a wee road with a few crofts on it and it's just about a mile outside Arisaig, Moss of Keppoch is just about half a mile further down the road from it and I would be more than willing to get you some piccies of the areas if you'd like?? I would also reccommend a website called http://www.road-to-the-isles(.)org(.)uk/westword/
If you remove the brackets from that address above then you'll get a link straight to the monthly newspaper for the area here and in that newspaper there is also a column about geneology and it's written by a couple (Allan & Elizabeth MacDonald) who LIVE and I mean LIVE for genealogy!! they are lovely people and they have their email addy in that link too and if you email them all your details they will try their best to get you some info on what you're looking for. They have done that side of the tree for a family in the area and I think it may have been published in our monthly newspaper at some point but the MacEachan's are a very big part of the area here so you will definately get some information :) one of the ones you have named are my mate's great grandmother so I DO know the family you are on about!! I really hope I have given you some info that'll help you get a bit further with your research please do not hesitate about contacting me if you require any picces from this area or want any church records looked up or just anything!!
All the best :)
