Hey you guys,
I am Jayha. First, let me say that I am pretty sure that I am not Scots ... dammit. I am a southern woman (history was one of my undergrad degrees) who writes multicultural books. One of my trademarks is the detail that I put into my stories. Quite a few of my characters are Scots and one is Irish. As I do not know many individuals who speak Gaelic. I have a few names that I'd like to know the pronunciation of if anyone could assist me. Thank you so much for your time and I've already started reading the links individuals posted about Scottish migration patterns. Fascinating stuff. -Jayha
