Some people said things, and then:- jmcquown added Thanks! Probably only interesting to the McQuown's. But I've always been fascinated by our family history, not to mention the fact that my uncle put it all together pre-computer era. At some point I plan to go to Scotland and try to pick it up before 1679; I have no idea how to do that. There are plenty of genealogy news groups around the world and most of them are more than glad to help. Someone in the area you are interested in would be happy to look up records for you, and you never know, payback might mean you looking up your local courthouse for an ex-pat in Bangkok...! The only ex-pat I know retired and moved to Chiang Mai. The folks in Bangkok are there on assignment But really, lurk in such a group and see how things are done. At the very least you'll get more ideas on where and what to look for and how to do it. Currently lurking. I do have some connections in Scotland so I think I can figure this out. Now I just have to get to Scotland. LOL |
