Have been delightfully told the term "Good Son" in Scots means "Son In Law". Thanks to Rosemary ! Had never heard it before except in a sad-ending US movie a few decades ago. Fits with the surname being different. I love teamwork. MegG ------------------------------

Sounds like in French, they use "beautiful" in front of the relative name to mean "-in-law", e.g. "belle-mère" is "mother-in-law", "beau-frère" is "brother-in-law".
