Hello from Idaho

Hello all!

I am currently kiltless but that is going to change soon...

I've recently been tracing my family history and it would seem as though I may have some Scot blood in me. Unfortunately having the hugely common last name of Wilson makes this a pretty big challenge. So far I've gotten to my great, great, great grandfather George Francis Wilson who was born in New York around 1830. He had listed his father's birthplace as Scotland and his mother's as England but no names were listed. That is where I'm stuck and I'm not too sure how much further I'll be able to get with any degree of accuracy. I'm hoping that some of my extended may be able to fill in the blanks for me. Just waiting on some replies...

happy welcome from Wisconsin! These boards are great fun.

And dont be concerned if being here takes a giant toll on your bank account

Can't help with your genealogy, but welcome from St. Louis.

Welcome from most northern part of Idaho...my wife is a Wilson, but her family is from the Northeast US.

welcome. If you are kiltless I'd suggest either staying home or wearing pants;^)
I googled the last names I had and found some really good sites listing them their parents and some diary entrees for their son that got me another 100 years back. It may be I was just lucky but who knows.
