Let's hear from you! Please post your ancestors relevant to this surname list and, most of all, let us know what your BRICKWALLS are! Please be focused and to the point - don't list entire pedigrees! If you have a lot of SCOTT ancestors, consider sending several postings, each for a given locale or several postings with only two or three generations listed. The subject line should have a full name (if appropriate), locale abbreviation, a direction of migration, another locale abbreviation, and the approximate dates. For instance, George Scott moving from Scotland to New Brunswick, Canada, to Kentucky around 1820 to 1840 would look like: SCOTT, George SCT>NB CAN>KY abt. 1820-1840 If you don't know the complete name, migration route, or dates, it is permissible to leave them out of the subject line and put an explanation in the message body. However, the more complete the subject line, the more likely someone with a similar interest will read your email. BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE LOCALE AND DATE RANGE IN YOUR MESSAGE even if they are only your best guess. Both can make a huge difference in locating a likely connection!
