Hi Pat, Sorry I haven`t written back sooner. I have been very busy searching on google!! I really hadn`t used it much before but I certainly will now. I have found pictures of everything. I found all the Scott castles except one called Scott Castle and I can`t find a picture of Branxholm Castle, which I have read that it is almost destroyed except for one part which is in use today. I have been reading all the history I can find. I have found pictures of Hawick as it is today, are Dawyck and Hawick the same place? My Scotts are from my grandmother`s side and my Kerrs are from my grandfather`s side. My 8th gr grandfather, James Scott was christened 30 May 1720, parish Church of Hawick, Church of Scotland,Roxbourshire parents were James Scott and Anne Scott married 3 Mar 1712, parish church of Hawick, Roxbourshire, Scotland. James was married for the second time 23 Jun. 1770 to Margaret Tullay(Tully) in the parish church. I was wondering if someone might know the name of the church. Sorry about the British, I will always use English from now on. I have contacted the Church of Scotland about obtaining copies of these documents and Rev. MacLean said to contact the General Register`s office. I found them on their website, but I was wondering if anyone has ever searched there and if what they have is just a listing or if you can get copies of the documents. Now on another note, I am trying to find out if there is a Clan Dodds. I have read about them being a border clan and I have also read about them being a sept of several other clans. Thanks again for everything Kay
