Well... I'm not Scottish at all, after all...

[Joshua]

I've hit my wall with Ancestry.com and started doing real legwork.

I emailed a distant cousin and got a response back - found out the full backstory on my father's paternal line... except that he hit the same wall as me. I guess I'm going to have to fly to Maryland and dig in the records, in fact I have two Ancestors from two totally separate lines who must have simply "appeared" in Baltimore around the turn of the 19th century.

But, as it turns out, the Great-Grandmother Urquhart was a Great-great aunt... that "father" actually adopted his brother's children (am assuming he died prior to 1850, the year the children were adopted), and one of those children was my ancestor.

So, my most hardline Scottish ancestor is no more. However, I've still yet to discover anything past the 1800's for my dad's biological paternal line, and my mom's paternal line.
