    Sue,
    Just read your interview on May I Introduce to You. Your blog is new to me and I look forward to exploring it. I have many Scottish ancestors and made my first visit to Scotland, last May. I also have English and Irish ancestors. If you get a chance you can visit my blog at www.michiganfamilytrails.com
