I see common ancestors surnames in your list. I descend from David Auchterlonie & Agnes Faulkland. My surname is Lonie the shortened form in the early 1700s. My line is through Edinburgh John (Auchter)Lonie & Margaret Simpson. My gggfather David Lonie & wife Margaret Scott left Edinburgh in 1858 to settle in Dunedin NZ.
