Hi Michelle
First - Thank you for undertaking this task. Are you doing this on your own
or as part of a project?
I am one of the unfortunates who lay claim to Sutherlands and the next most
common name in Latheron - Sinclair.
It isn't an easy task. The figure you are quoting seems about right.
Latheron apparently has the highest no of Sutherlands in any parish in
Scotland......
On a completely different subject - some listers might be interested to know
that the 1851 index is now available on CD Rom for Lanarkshire.
Cheers
vonnie
