    2. Scott Morland
    3. Hi all, Been a little while since I posted but always great to read on other facts and info that comes through. I wonder... I am Living in New Zealand and will be back in Scotland in August (Where I am originally from) for about 5 weeks. I plan on covering as much as possible in retracing my family roots around the Wigtownshire area, namely Stranraer, Leswalt, Inch areas where my Morland ancestors once thrived.   I have been very fortunate and also extremely grateful to many folk for there assistance in helping me achieve a wealth of knowledge on my family history up till now and some of those folk frequent this list. Again I thank u all.   Through much time searching and with the help of others I have my family back in this area to a Thomas Morland born abt 1756 Dying Jan 1841 and his wife - a Mary Sprott who died in 1812.. I know nothing further on these people. A wealth of info for me comes after these folk.. The challenge for me is to get more info on these folk or there families of this time (Mid 1700`s) I do not have any ideas where to go to track this down. Scottish People and Ancestry I feel has been exhausted for info now..   I ask the experienced researchers within in these areas I mention - Is there anywhere else one can go to see for any more info? Also I have a few places that I plan on going to see in August but given the places I mentioned above  is there any places that could be recommended to go and view that could reflect back to the way of life of the 1700`s through 1800`s? I am open to ideas from these areas recommended to visit which reflect its history.   I thank you all again for previous help.   Best wishes to all of you and I look forward to any feedback   Scott Morland Auckland NZ
