Hello! I believe my SANDERSONS have their origins in Border, however, after a generation born in 1550 in Preston, they are all listed in the IGI as born in Tullylagan all the way up to 1800! I cannot find this town anywhere in Scotland. Could this be the name of a farm? The IGI has them listed as _________Sanderson, born_________in Of, Tullylagan, Scotland. Perhaps the "Of" is a clue... Thanks so much Micki L. Sanderson Researching: MELDRUM, GORRIE, DORWARD in Forfar/Angus SANDERSON in Borders/Berwick MELDRUM in Fife

Hi Micki, Tullylagan Manor is now a Country House Hotel about 10 minutes drive from Cookstown in Northern Ireland. There is a picture at http://www.tullylagan.freeserve.co.uk/ Where you have a birthplace in the IGI listed as OF, it usually means that the entry has been submitted by an LDS member as part of their Ancestral File submission, and the details must be taken as highly suspect until you can confirm them somewhere else. In this case it probably means they made a wild guess that Tullylagan was in Scotland.
