i thought id share this google map ive made of the family tree i just selected 4 surnames to give some folk the impression of how much some surnames get about over the years this is just the paternal side of those 4 surnames
the surnames are Chisholm in blue , Mcnee in green , Bruce in light blue and Heffernan in white
ive a whole load of names and areas to add to this map most or less are in the same area of Scotland and Ireland by the time i add the maternal side it should be a great thing to pass to other relatives
the spread of this nature is something folk should consider when doing a genealogical search some folk perhaps may have this impression that the ancestors clustered in one area over a long time whereas work and home life back then was similar to today's needs if they needed to move for a job they did
