Any ideas or suggestions please! I am researching the NEIFING, NEUFING, NEUFEIND, families in Reinsfeld, Osburg, Schillingen,Trier and Hannover areas, so far, back into late 1700's. While looking through the FHC online site I was surprised to find a NEIFING family living in Dumfriesshire, Scotland in the early 1600's. Isobel NEIFING was married to Laurence WARKMAN 12.10.1607. They are also found in the Old Parrish Register. Why would someone/family immigrate to Scotland from Germany in the early 1600's? I've looked through several history sites, but still have no clue as to why the move. Any ideas? Thanks so much, Karen Adams, Seattle
