The Old Ranchers I know gave me historic interviews that I am trying hard to finish my recordation of the sites, and to make a documentary, but I have had to wait for the right equipment and assistance. I lived my life in the "Wild wild west"! I could show you the history here for sure.

Thanks for the comments on Scotland. I am doing the best i can to get there, it is seemily impossible, but I have this knack to break that which is hard, with or without any patience, lol. I am trying to get my passport, so if I do find a financial miracle, I will be there with you all in July. I want to go so badly, and I hope I can stay a little while so I can dig into the old records and go to Ulster to get the connection I am missing to prove my lineage. I know I am a Scot but I just have to prove it. If you ever want to know anything about a visit to Colorado, give me a shout, and I can guide you, I have been in these hills all my life!
Cheers

If I've missed something from you between the different boards, I apologize. PLEASE let me know more specifically what and who you're looking for. I may keep up with things better if you write me directly at my e-mail: tree9616@aol.com.
Sincerely,
Randy
