Hi, Ellis.

I'm not very far from you over here in Baldwin County. You will find the folks on this forum very helpful and very friendly. Good luck with your research.

Regards,

Hi again Ellis,

As Barb is not online at the moment, I would suggest that you post your query on the General Scottish forum. If at a later stage, we can narrow it down specifically and you would like it moved to another board, that can also be done.

Ha, Ha! Jan, the super moderator, as usual, is quick, clever and correct! Start in the forum she suggested, and then, if it turns out all the Scott action is more localized, the thread can be moved.

Also, folks here will tell you to dive right in, don't be shy, etc. They really mean it!
