I've been working my family names of McVittie, Longmire, Carlock, and Maxwell. I've run down the families as far back as I can over here and now I'm working on the other side of the Atlantic. I have an extenstive compliation of information but I now wish to fill out the fuzzy details on these.

I have my 3g grandfather Simon McVittie who is in an 1850 Ontario, Canada cencus with an indication he came from Cavan, Ireland.

There is a contravesy at my 3g grandfather George LONGMIRE as to his father. There is a family letter that indicates a Simon LONGMIRE of Northern England while many others insist he was Charles Longmire of King George, Virginia, USA.

Any thoghts on making sure I get to the right name, your thoughts would be appreciated.
