Distant Scottish Connections - how to honour it?
Hello,
I am quite green in this respect but I could use some honest opinions.
I was raised French- Canadian, but have been tracing my geneology lately and have found some Scottish roots that I would like to honour in some way.
However given the connections, I'm not sure what is appropriate, if at all.
I am also female (thought I'd mention as my name is unisex)
To be brief, here are my connections:
Father's side:
- Father's mother was a Joseph, but this name was changed from Keiller to Joseph when my GGGG grandfather moved from Alcobaca, Liera, Portugal to Paspebiac, Gaspe, Quebec
* We believe his father James Keiller and mother Maria Jesu lived in Portugal but that James originally came from the UK (some say Middlesex England but no proof)
- GGGG grandmother who was a Scott, born in New Carlisle, Bonaventure Quebec- parents from Newcastletown, Roxburgh, Scotland
Mother's side:
- GGG grandmother who was a Marshall, she was born in Parry Sound, Ontario - parents from Dunbartonshire or Glasgow area, Scotland
- GGGG grandmother who was a Campbell, born in Ontario (they had been in Massachussets for a few generations)- family traced back to Argyll, Scotland
Thanks for the advice in advance,
Jamie.
