I already knew a lot as my Dad was a Scottish History Freak...and so's my OH. Seems we were right in there along side the other Jacobites, fighting for our Highlands, and our way of Life lol.

Ive been doing it for about 8 years on & off. Not found anything exciting though. Dad's side seemed to live in the Gutter (Courts & Cellars) in Liverpool & Mum's side lived in the same house from the 1870's till they knocked them down in the 1970's I was born in the same house as well.Re: Family History & Genealogy
