Surnames: Bruce/Bland/Dykes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XOG.2ACIB/1376.1 Message Board Post: Al could you tell us a bit more information like year of births and deaths and where their origins might have been other than California. The Bruce's is a large group with origins being Scots. When did they come to California? Have you been through their birth certificates or death certificates to find out their origins? Also, have you talked to any of the elderly relatives over 60 and up to gather information? Thanks Julia
