Okay where to begin. 

I would like to trace my family history back to Scotland if indeed that is where we originate. I can find a lot of general info like what clan my family name belongs to and trace the McGregor clan back for centuries. I am hoping to get some info on more recent events but I have no idea where to start. I moved to Oz a few years ago and as the relies are passing away it seems more important to pass this information down to my sons so they have some idea of where they came from. 

My family name is McNee which is fairly uncommon, My father (Thomas) was born in Liverpool and lived in Melrose (by Bank Hall station) his Father (another Thomas grew up in Liverpool but I am not 100% he was born there as his Father (yet another Thomas was a sailor in the merchant navy). Actually from what I can tell every male in my family is called Thomas, both my aunty and my sister married a Thomas. Apparently there is some connection with the USA (bizarrely involving Fay Wray although that could be a family Myth) 

Can someone point me in the right direction of where to start trying to unravel this mystery.

Hiya - wow this is so interesting  because my nan (great-grand-daughter of this Flora) was also called Flora and I know Flora McDonald was from South Uist so there where probably a lot of Floras from there!

Oh Ancestry..just when I think you are a waste of momey, you come up with free records of emigration and immigration and I am able to spend an hour enthralled as I read through the passenger lists of the Mayflower and the details of the boats and all the families leaving England between 1620 and 1640.......what a treat!

Can't help but it strikes me that Flora might have been mis-transcribed from McInnes, a far more plausible Scottish Name.

If someone in a marriage register is described as being "of this parish", does that mean they were born in the parish or just that they have been living there?
