Re: Connections with Portugal??

John, your information is very helpful about the Sutherlands.  My brother in
law is a Sutherland.  He is very much into Scottish history etc.  I am going
to tell him about the Sinclair site.  It's been helpful to me. I'm a Stewart
decendant.  The Sinclair site has really been more helpful to me than the
Stuart (Royal) site.  By being on the mailing list,  I receive at least
several helpful responses each day.  I have noticed that your responses have
been not  only been numerous but helpful.  Thanx for your dedication.
