My Wright ancestors fall into this category, but I am not sure if they
arrived from England or Scotland or at what time really. I am thinking most
likely England because my uncle's closest matches on Y-search with a genetic
distance of 5 have origins in England. I must pursue the paper trail further
I think if I wish to find out if they came from England or Scotland, btu
that will require quite a lot of digging I think.
