My name is April Anderson and I live in the state of Georgia, near a big hunk of granite. daddy traced our Scottish heritage back to Scotland, when my great grand dad X8 moved to Cape Fear. I would love to talk to some of my Scottish cousins. I love to learn and listen. Since having problems will my gall bladder I am sorta stuck in my house until the much anticipated surgery to remove the devil. I am bored to tears. Any conversation to revive my dismal confinement would be super!!! Would love to hear anything about Scotland. I plan to visit. tell me of cheap hostels, the best cafes and a place to try un-tinned haggis!!!

Hi there and welcome. Be sure to check in the Travel Forum, there is a lot of info there about trips and places to see. If nothing else, it will give you something to do! LOL

Sorry about your health issues, I hope you will be healed soon.

Hello and welcome to Scotland.com April. Always nice to see friends from the Colonies joining our happy little community, everyone’s so friendly here it fair brings tears to one’s eyes sometimes.

There is another member from Georgia, name of JC, and she contributes regularly, she might live near you. Oh, I hope you were not referring to her when you mentioned living near a big hunk of granite.

Do you have the full names of any of your Scottish ancestors, or do you know which part of Scotland they originally came from? There are plenty of links to Anderson, and Anderson Clan or Society sites where all sorts of info is available; you may even discover snippets of your family history.

Sorry to hear about your gall bladder problems etc, I can empathise ***** Removed by Mod*****

Well, if you care to have a browse through the various threads I’m sure you will find something that will interest and entertain you.
