Carolyn, these are my ancestors according to hand~charting using Tribal Pages / The information came from wherever I could find it online. I tend to be thorough. I do have some brick wall ancestors, still.  There are more royal Scottish lines in my tree, but I thought I was overwhelming this board, so I added them to my Stories section on my Tribal Tree. Most of my royal lines are older than the Scottish ones. My grand~father sure was proud to be Scottish & spent time in Scotland. I will post pictures. Duh; I don't know how. I can put them on my wall.

Sue Wemett Although at the time you are researching, Berwick was in England , it was not always so. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berwick-upon-Tweed#Scottish_town 
For McConnells in Scotland, try searching for 'McConnells  in Kirkcudbrightshire'

It is still in common useage that people refer to women by their maiden names & far from being confined to the Lowlands lots of my Highland ancestors were enumerated in the Censuses by their maiden names(particularly after being widowed).
I would say after WW1 until maybe the past twenty years or so that women changed their names but when referred to would be called "Jane Doe" wife of "John Smith" especially if you stayed in the same area you were born /raised in.

Well said Carolyn. I wondered the same thing. A very impressive list but what does it all mean?

Comment by Carolyn Preston on January 24, 2014 at 6:58pm

I'm a little confused, Barbara. Just what are you telling us. Are these your ancestors? What are you basing that on?
