<div>How interesting. I just worked in a booth at the Scottish festival last week and there was a map of Scotland that gave all the common surnames of the areas. I will look at home to see if I brought a copy of the map with me. I do know that Anderson's and McKenzies were in the same area and later immigrated to Northern Ireland.</div>

names and Birth Dates is that would help. I just did not see cluttering<br>the list with all of them.<br><br>Thank you in advance for any help,<br><br>Fred Farner in La Pine<br><br>_____________________________________________________<br>
