During the Scottish Jacobite rebellion there were a bunch of Scots/Irish families leaving Ireland and Scotland. Some to flee religious persecution....others to flee political persecution. Whatever the reason I just learned an important thing concerning these people. Many of those that fled CHANGED THEIR NAMES to keep from being located by the bad guys. Just thought you might be interested in keeping this little tidbit in mind. Joyce Gaston Reece
