Hi listers, I hate to show my ignorance, but someone on this site mentioned Proscripted names back a month or so ago in regard to an Anne Brown I had found among my Scottish ancestors in the 1700's. I hadn't known about proscripted names and wondered whether someone could share a little historical background with me. (There may even be other beginners on the list who are unaware of this.) Thank you, Sharman Badgett-Young
