    Yep, I'm award that many of the Arbuthnott's left their home in Scotland, dropped the last "t" in their name, and settled in Ireland. That is all apart of my storytelling as Frannie Arbuthnot. I have a pen and ink rendition of the castle like home that Samuel Arbuthnot was said to have lived before coming to America. No one, as far as I've know of, has been able to locate this home. Fortunately, not all of the Arbuthnott's left Scotland and Lord Arbuthnott still lives at the family estate there. Imagine having your family living in the same house for over 800 years!

    HI Dave.
    My Dad came out to South Africa after WWII. Our Watts family hails mainly from Middlesbrough, Yorkshire. we are the "Watts of Kislingbury". With the help of my "English" family I have managed to trace my line back to 1559. I am also researching the du Preez line (my Mom) and have been relatively successful with that as well. Pity there are not more of us Watts here, particularly from the UK. I am currently situated in Ramsgate KZN.
    Take care
    Regards Alan Watts

    Hi Dave, One thing I am looking for is "Watts" coats of arms. I have one sent to me by my English cousins, but am always keen to see what everyone else has has.
    Regards Alan Watts
