How wonderful to have a list member with such a close connection to Scotland! Many of us on this list believe that we are descendants of Scots either directly or after a stop in Ireland before coming to America. I, for one, am just starting to learn about Scottish history and how to research Genealogy in Scotland. You may be the expert on the list about Scots. Please share with us anything that you learn about your ancestors. And do consider joining our DNA project. You just might find an exact match in our group.
