<P><SPAN>So google it and see if that is the info you are looking for. It appears Pitferren is a part of Dunfermline</SPAN></P>

<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>

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?

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.
