Join the Craigmiles/Craigmyle DNA Surname Project

Thanks to Jessie Craigmiles for starting this project.  She describes it as follows:

The purpose of this study is to prove that the names Craigmiles/Craigmyle/Craigmile share a common ancestor .Many of us have tried to trace the orgins of the Craigmiles/Craigmyle/Craigmile lines, often with frustrating results. Some of our roots have been traced back to Kincardine-O'Neil, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. In the early part of the 1700's, many Scots migrated to Canada and the United States. Some settled in Ohio. Others in PA. From PA they moved on to KY, MO, and IL.We hope this project will establish with some certainty that we do share common ancestors. I recommend the 37 or the 67 marker test. We get the group rates which they give at the website.  Click on the title above or go to http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=C55188.

The Canadian Craigmyles

The Victoria Bed and Breakfast - Craigmyle Inn is in Victoria, British Columbia. We contacted the Craigmyle Guest House to determine the origination of the name. It seems that a Robert Dunsmuir built a castle on adjacent ground in 1889. He was by far the wealthiest and most influential man in British Columbia at that time. He and his wife, Joan had a friend in Scotland named Annie Laurie, a poetess. She owned and lived in a castle there called Craigdarroch and they named their property after hers. In Gaelic, "Craig" means rock and "myle" means place. Craigdarroch is rock with oaks and when the guest house was built it followed the lead of the castle. The district they are in is called Rockland. See B.C. Culture: Craigdarroch Castle.

Craigmyle is the name of a small town in Alberta, Canada located about 125 miles northeast of Calgary.  The Village of Craigmyle was built on William Nixon's land and named after Mrs. Eaton's ancestral estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. 

Craigmyle Colony School is a small school in the Prairie Land district of Alberta, Canada. The current enrollment is only 14 children. It is a part of the largest school jurisdictions in Alberta encompassing approximately 6,000 square miles in the East-Central region of the province. The Prairie Land school jurisdiction is sparsely populated and located a considerable distance from major urban centers.
