To  the Lady looby --
and the bonnie lass, Monica.

Much thanks. Your generous advice and counsel was
invaluable to me. This started on a lark, but is beginning to snowball.

All the sites you both  found were spot on.

Many many thanks.  If I could ever be of any possible help to you or anything
you wanted to know   that  I could answer you please post me here.

Philip's son.

PS.  (Three of the most stupid things tourist  Americans say to Scots.)

1. When is  the weather  going to clear up?
2. What's really  going on underneath there?
3. Do you know the Queeen?
 :D :D :D

Oh my goodness!  Thank you! Apparently that was too easy.

Yes sir. The link you gave MUST be my biological Grandfather based on all I already know.

Stanley.
And  I could have had a different name but for circumstances.



Thank you so much Sir Loobylooayr.

Seems now I need to invest in an ancestry site to continue my Quest.


Small world huh? :-)

Thanks again from a very grateful  fellow Scotsman, currently
 living in Arizona USA of all places!

If anyone's still around I have a question.


I'm 56 years old . I have developed an interest in my biological background.
My father ( 78 and still living)  was adopted by a stepfather( Nelson ) well before I was born.
My biological Grandfather(Arkley) is completely unknown to me.
Williamson is my biological GrandMother's maiden name.

I also once or twice  visited my "Auntie Jessie" Williamson in Vancouver BC.

I've always been told..

1). I'm a quarter Scot.
2) I'm related to Bonnie Prince Charlie. (who isn't?)
3) My maternal ancestors hailed from the Northern islands, the Shetlands and Orkneys
4) The Irish are on average , a  lessor lot
5) Thrifty is Smart and Common sense
 I believe I'm related to the MacKays (Gunns)? on my Grandmother's side.
 My father is of no help  for info various reasons.

Is a DNA test in order? If so, just what kind?

There are sorts of options.. 37 makers, 67, 111..etc.
I would appreciate any constructive information and advice.
