Brownie - Please forgive me if I'm just now understanding this, or if I have finally lost my marbles all together. Is there a possibility (stronger than slight) that William Younger who married Mary Watkins was NOT the son of Thomas Younger son of Alexander of Scotland? If there is, than I agree, it does deserve a good deal of attention. We could all be looking in the wrong place for our roots. I know more than a couple people in my family won't like it one bit if it's discovered that we aren't descended from Alexander, but I don't care. I'd rather be right than Scottish (not that being a Scot isn't REALLY cool). Let me know how I can help and count me in.
