Wigtownshire / Re: MI's for Kirkmaiden, Stoneykirk and Kirkmadrine

Thanks Scott.  I am just starting to build my tree in Scotland.  I know very little of my Scottish family history but recently have developed a keen interest in learning who and what that history is.  I have a lot of admiration for my Grandfather.  Unfortunately, he felt so blessed to have moved to America and started a new life here that he did not talk much about his home and life in Scotland.  He left when he was 18, transited through Ellis Island, and moved to Iowa where he started to farm.  Then World War I intervened, a new family, the farm, then World War II, his growing family, then my Dad leaving for Korea, and he never made it back to Scotland. 
How did the McMorland's become Morland in your family tree?
Thanks   Robbie

Scott and Beannie,
I just came across your posts regarding the MI "William MORLAND beloved husband of Margaret GRAHAM who died 31st October 1932 aged 72 years. Also the above Margaret GRAHAM who died 5th February 1938 aged 72 years".  William and Margaret and my great Grandparents.  Their son Robert, emigrated to the US through Ellis Island.  Robert is my Grandfather. 
I am interested in visiting Drummore and putting some flowers on my great Grandparents graves.  Any idea where they are buried?
Thanks
Robbie Morland
