adam found out from a guy in scotland that the southerlands are related to sutherlands without the o - he found a couple of interesting links - http://www.clansutherland.org.uk and http://www.clansutherland.org - it's a shame we don't know that much about dad's side of the family...i was always fascinated in learning mom's family history through grandma's geneaological stuff...there was a name change there as well - when grandpa came over from norway, he americanized his name from grevle to gravelie...
