-I am so excited, for the first time I've found someone writing about people
close to my family - I' talk to my cousin who grew up in Caithness and i think
we'll find close connections, great. My surname is haddow but mother was a
Sinclair from Freswick in Caithness with relatives in the area mentioned.
