Laphroaig
I have undone your changes, they are too sweeping and appear to sanitize the original intent of the paragraph. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 01:12, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Chris...I will update this discussion later tonight and I will provide you with information to support my claim.I am new to Wikipedia and need to familarise myself with the rules and procedures.Kind Regards Chris J.--Cejohnston (talk) 05:38, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi,I can confirm that I am a direct descendant of the family that founded Laphroaig and have official birth,death & marriage records that confirm my descent.I have also conducted a DNA test that has confirmed that I am not a McCabe but rather a MacDonald.(see source attached to Wikipedia)..Another family member who can also trace their ancestry to the other side of the Laphroaig family tree has also returned the same DNA test result.

The post on Wikipedia that I edited (and you subsequently reinstated) was sourced to the following link.http://www.jenforum.net/johnston/messages/8571.html

The author of the above source has since retracted their previous statement via the following link.http://www.jenforum.net/johnston/messages/9224.html

I can confirm that I have reinstated my original edit and have also added another source reference.The author of this source is the worlds largest collector of Laphroaig and has published the book 'The Legend of Laphroaig' which supports my claim that my ancestors were not McCabes.This book can be purchased through the Laphroaig website & at the distillery itself.

Therefore Laphroaig are well aware of the fact that the Laphroaig Johnstons were not McCabes.At this point their website has not been updated.However I would expect that at some point the distillery will update their own website.

Therefore I feel that I am justified in editing the incorrect information on Wikipedia and have provided sufficient evidence to support my edit.I also feel that it is extremely important to ensure that information on wikipedia is corrected when additonal information becomes available.

As mentioned before I am new to Wikipedia and hope that you can view this post.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this issue further.
