Excuse me, but if you could take a few moments to review the question asked about the place name under discussion, you should be able to sort the question was not asked by myself, but by another. I have no idea of why Scratchy's Lass wanted to know where Skida Muir is located, I simply answered her question. The motivation behind her interest is not known to me, so I can provide you no answer whatsoever.

Nor do I understand the motivation behind your desire to withhold information from a person seeking it.

Now that you've repetitively reminded everyone of the generally accepted practice of genealogical research, allow me to point out that no one has disagreed with the method you've mentioned. So, will it be necessary for you to be sharing it with us yet again?
