There is never a ignorant or stupid question on here Gillian - we all begin somewhere!!! All I can help you with is to tell you that the Highlands are in Scotland. Regarding your Stanley's, I will keep my fingers crossed that you find a connection here!!! Keep asking those questions though - it is the only way to learn!!

Is there an on-line phonebook (whitepages) that I could search for this person or at least get addresses for STANLEY's listed. (I did a euroseek search, but could not find anything). I ran into a similar problem with an ancestor to went to Australia, and I wrote to a the people in the phonebook with the same last name, and guess what....I got a letter from an unknown 3rd cousin. > > All suggestions appreciated. > > Regards > > Gillian Hanson > hanson@kanservu.ca > Ontario Canada > > > ==== SCOTLAND-GENWEB Mailing List ==== > For up to date info, try: > http://www.scotland.net/ > > ============================== > Support free genealogy on the Internet!
