Hi,
Have been searching for ANYONE left of my family in Scotland and so far, no results. I can't go there and I can not pick up any leads doing what I have been doing, so --Are there any of these names someone has a connection to,but does not maybe have the spouses maiden or last name? Possibly a relative married someone not named,but maybe a relative was mentioned? Maybe your research does not go as far back as 1657,so you have no further information? Some of these had 2 spouses also, so there may be a connection this way. Thanks---Renee

Hi Renee. I can't go that far back. My Uncle John Hamilton married Margaret Ferguson in 1912. Her parents were Archibald and Margaret Greenwood. Sorry I can't be of more help to you. Susan.

Hi Susan, Thanks for your replies--It is very frustrateing not to be able to know HOW to go about finding any proof for the 1600/1700 time perods. I live in the USA and have no concept of Scotland or what sites to find to help me----
Thanks for trying! Renee
