Am headed to Scotland July 8-23 to do some work in Edinburgh and visit my maternal GGrandfather's place of birth in the Orkney Islands off the northern tip of Scotland. Doubt there will be a crisis on this List while I'm gone, Will check my mail a few times while there at a Library or Internet Cafe. Will continue posting whatever I have for this surname when I return. Should anything seem abnormal, like no Posts to your other Lists for awhile, be sure to check the 'yellow box' for announcements anytime.
