Hello list, A new member to your list researching ADAMS, SCOTT & McGARVA - All early 1800's in Wigtownshire and Kirdudbright. Garlieston, in the parish of Sorbie, is a village name that keeps cropping up so any news of the named families with connections to that area would be most welcome. It's my understanding that 1841 is the earliest date of extant newspaper records. Having exhausted most of the online sites, including Scotland's People, I'd like to make a visit to the area sometime this month and I'm wondering which is the best Library in the area to use for research. Suggestions and comments welcomed. All best wishes, Tony Burton

Hi Tony, My g-grandmother was Jeanie SCOTT KILTIE from the Wigtown/Stoneykirk area. Was there a particular Scott you were looking for?
