<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>

I learn a lot but don't feel<BR>I have much to contribute. The last time I wrote for this list was on the<BR>subject of adult adoptions. I will formally adopt my Daughter on November<BR>8, 2011. That is her birthday.<BR><BR>Today I have a problem. I am attempting to locate two towns in Scotland.<BR><BR>First is: Dun Fermline, Fifeshire, Scotland is the other one. I'm doing<BR>better on this one. I have a current location by that name on Google<BR>Earth.

The<BR>family names include Burt, Agnes; Penman, Isabel: and, Sympson, Agnes.<BR><BR>My overriding issue is, are these current day place names correct for the<BR>1600's thru the early 1800's? Further, I so far cannot find Pitferrn on<BR>any map.<BR><BR>The Burt's lived in both places and inter-married. I wonder if the two<BR>places might be close together. I wonder if the Burt's at the two<BR>locations were already related [probably?], or just the name is in common<BR>[I do not think too likely]. I can supply much more complete lists of<BR>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>or-roots mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:or-roots@listsmart.osl.state.or.us" target=_blank>or-roots@listsmart.osl.state.or.us</A><BR><A href="http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots" target=_blank>http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots</A><BR>Hosted by the Oregon State Library.
