Hi there Ellen I too have Orkney Sutherlands. I was wondering of you are familiar with this site which has been very helpful to me for all of my Orkney names. www.cursiter.*com remember to remove the * Hope it's useful for you Christine

Thanks Christine To date all of my Sutherlands are mainlanders (Durness), but Linda was asking about Kirkwall ones. Thanks for the new site though - I may yet need it. Happy New Year to you. Must go, I can smell the turkey is almost ready! Cheers Ellen.

Thanks Ellen and Christine....I've really hit a brick wall in my search so appreciate any suggestions. Thanks very much to both of you. And thanks Ellen for posting this thread, Linda xx
