Historical Timeline

Post by LuAnn » Sat Aug 04, 2007 4:18 pm

I was wondering if some kind soul could direct me to an historical timeline for Scotland that I could use to put my ancestors' lives into some kind of context .
Many thanks
LuAnn

That is the cry of my husband as he wanders through the house while my nose is stuck in one of my many files. Maybe that's why he now has learned to cook as well :lol: ........ and he is much better than I am! :wink:
Good luck with your house sale, LuAnn
