Scots Irish Addition

Howard's presentation included surname maps of Scotland and Ireland. Because he explained that the Scotland maps were based on the 1901 British census, Carolyn Stone decided to check that database for her surname. She was surprised to find that her ancestor's surname was concentrated in the same county in Scotland. That gives her a starting point for research. This step would be particularly helpful with an unusual surname, but it is worth a try in any case. Thanks for the information, Carolyn!
