The Website Author note
We would like to sincerely thank the following
people for their work and efforts, and for the
contributions that they have made to theSetonFamily.com Website,
since its' inception on CompuServe beginning in January 1996.
After progressing from CompuServe, the Seton Family website became
an official, independant web-domain in January 2000, under the title
of setonfamily.com, which domain name registration lapsed and was
seized by a Hong Kong-based company operating out of Vancouver, in 2003.
However, as from before and since then, we have steadily grown with the
invaluable assistance of a great many people, some of which we have
recognized here:
Douglas Seaton, Researcher
Dugie lives in North Berwick,
Scotland, and has provided pictures and genealogies from the East Lothian area, as well as
illuminated some of the family's history, from an in-scotland point of view.
Anders Seton, IT Specialst, Bjorn Bergstrom
Anders
and his father Bjorn have contributed to the Highland Seton, and Touch/Abercorn/Preston and Ekolsund line
information, from which Anders descends through his mother, Violet Seton. Anders retained
his mothers name and with his fathers help, has matriculated arms with Lyon
Court. Anders was previously co-editor of this website, and they both live in Sweden.
George Seeton, Researcher
George lives in
New Hamphire and has provided notes on the Nova Scotia branch line that we both
share, as well as Port Seton history, his brother Gordon Seeton is the

and of the Meldrum family lines.

Henry Seton of Virginia, America in 1690. He has provided
lineal research into the Seton's of Parbroath descent, particularly
that of Captain David Seton of Ravenscraig (prev of Kinglass or
Kingask) and his brother John Seton, who immigrated to America circa
1635 and settled in Virginia.

descended from the Seton's of Cariston family, from which a son of this house

Material page, to be presented to the family.

lines.

otherwise would not have been possible for us to locate.
David and Mary Mcmillan, proprietors of Seton Castle,
East Lothian, Scotland
On a visit to Scotland in March of
2004, I encountered David and Mary at their home of Seton Castle. They
were not only accommodating in granting permission to tour and photograph the
grounds, but gave me a personal tour of Seton Castle, which they had
recently purchased and were in the process of completely restoring.
