Having problems searching my scottish roots? A While ago a Woman put a post up here as she was goingto Scotland and offeref to do research for people, as half of my family are scottish i asked her if she would research my grandparents. See my post as a reply for information as it is easier to read there ....................................The only thing is i cant seem to go any firther or find anyone that she has mentioned, i wondered if anyone could help? Any hints, tips or information is welcome! Anyone know how to get started on this?
