    Cleveland newb

    Greetings all.

    I just today found my way to X-marks as part of a genealogy attempt.

    As full disclosure, I am unsure if I actually have any Scottish heritage. My father /thinks/ that our side of the Young family came over from either northern England or Scotland to Savannah, Georgia in the mid to late 18th century. But the furthest documented I can go is 1869......for now.

    I'll be trolling the forum for more information and see what I can find.

    And...what the hell, if I can't confirm my records I'll probably just claim it anyway!

    Good to be here.
