Hi Folks,
In going back through my family, I have discovered that The Groat side of my ancestors moved from Westray in the Orkneys to Stronsay in about 1780-1800.
With the OPR’s only available from 1733 I’m not going to get back much farther, so there is little chance of me finding out if this statue http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland ... 212074.stm
Is of my GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGranny
Or is there????
Jack

I'd like to be apathetic but I really can't be bothered.
Looking for blacksheep & not finding any with
Groats & Stevensons in Orkney, Hood's in Dundee/Angus, Mclaren's in Clackmannan and Jolly's in Kincardineshire. There may be more!

I can see my McKimmie's in her for sure & maybe a wee hint of the Ross's
Orkney is an incredible place & I am hoping to get to explore it next Summer.
