There’s been rather a lot of research going on here lately. I narrowed it down to five Thomas Scotts, and then someone updated their info and mine all went away. Now, I don’t even know if my ancestor was born in Scotland. Eh, C’est la vie. I’ve got a lot more branches to track down, so it’ll keep me busy for a bit.

I’m not particularly worried. My family tree has several branches that go back to before the arrival of William in 1066. I may not be a true Scott, but I’m Celtic clear through.


Thanks to all for the support and information!
