My grandfather was born in the shadow of Conway castle, his family was into shipbuilding (Glassgow I think), he was part Manx and was brought to live in Chicago when he was 12. Are we related? ;-)
Iirc, my father’s line originates in the Strathmore area. Not sure where that is in Scotland or why it would matter, if it does.
The family shows up in the colonies in 1750. That’s about all I know.
