Dear Lowlanders,<br>

<br>
If you have any information to share with this person, please post it here. Alternatively,
please send it to me personally and I will forward it to her.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">Hello Editor! I am a genealogical researcher who is trying to learn more
about the Lowland culture and also trying to determine whether an ancestor of
mine could have been from the </span>Lowlands<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"> based
on the spelling of his name.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">I was extremely excited to find
your site - but unsure whether my little questions would be welcome on such a
creative-based site. My Presbyterian ancestor's name was Cairy - an unusual
spelling of the surname in America,
and I have been told that it is on tombstones in Arbroath, Scotland.
But is Arbroath considered to be in the Lowlands?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">Perhaps you would be so kind as to
steer me in the right direction, if I've taken a wrong turn here? Any
information you can share is greatly appreciated. I guess my starting places
needs to be the basics of Lowland culture and place.</p>
