My geneaology?

Question:

My geneaology?

Okay I was wondering I've been told that I have two family castles in the UK. One in Scotland with my mom's maiden name, and one in England with my father's last name (and mine) and also an English Lord who has the last name of me that may or may not be living today. I did try to find these castles online but I couldn't. There must be one of them because my mom's cousin went to Scotland and took pictures of the ruin castle, and I talked to a friend once about this and he did hear about one of my family castles. So anyway are there some good reliable sources to try and trace this back?

You can use GENFORUM with the SURNAME to find people that may have similar questions. If there are common names, then you start by reading the questions and locations of the postings. When you find one in the locations you are discussing, ask them a question.

You need to trace the surnames back to the castle owners. You can get deeds from public records. That may be difficult, as I suspect you do not live there.

You can also use some of these sites to help trace back the owners surnames. You will need to hook up with someone that knows the history. Perhaps the castles are still inhabited, and you could talk to the current residents too.
