Keep in mind there are holes in some of the records for some Parishes pre 1750. These records are from http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk Cheers!!!

Two of my Scottish immigrant ancestors were William MacMillan and his wife, Catherine Hamilton, who settled in Robeson County, North Carolina. They were supposedly from Carnwath in Lanark, and were born around 1740, plus or minus. How and where would I start trying to find information about this couple? Many thanks for any help, Catherine Palmer Marble Falls, Texas
