The Hebrides are where my husband’s ancestors are from.
That would be the Outer Hebrides.
I saw a census of Colonsay from 1741. The names were remarkably similar to my schoolmates in Walton County, Florida. Basically as if the population had been picked up and moved there.
Most of my ancestors are from all over Britain, Scotland, Holland, and a little from Ireland. The next highest percentage comes from the Germanic Empire, which I never knew about until I had my DNA done. Nor did I know about the small group of ancestors from Norway and Sweden. My father was born in Holland, and my mother in Canada.
