Hi Deby, It does sound as if you are in my Callin line. My grandmother was Ruth Callin. She was one of a very large family. Her brother was Ricahrd Daniel Callin, who was born in the Isle of Man. He was known as Daniel. He immigrated to Canada. He had three children. Donald, Lawrence and Doris. I do not know if they are living. I do know that Doris has two daughters. Lawrence had a son Richard (that I am in contact with. He also had two daughters. Where do you live? I know of other descendants, so if I can help let me know. I am in Calgary Alberta. I have never heard of anyone being stud farmers. Lawrence and Donald were my mom's cousins. Brenda
