Having undertaken extensive genealogical research on my McAdam ancestors I would be thrilled to visit Scotland particularly the Galloway area from which my great-grandfather emigrated in the early 1900s. He established himself in Costa Rica, Central America as evidenced by many McAdam descendants there today. His son, my mother’s dad, established the marketplace in Puntarenas, an important rail and shipping center in Guanacaste Costa Rica during that era. I am fascinated by the research I’ve uncovered regarding my Scots ancestors and would be delighted to have the opportunity to visit.
I think I love Scotland more than any other country!
I absolutely LOVE Scotland!
Going to Scotland is my life dream.
I would love to go to scotland and retrace my family history
We have been talking about this for years but never seem to get there. I would be ecstatic to win and visit a location I have dreamed of visiting! Attempted to complete the entry form but that part of the section was not working.
The contest may be over by now, that could be the issue.
I do not have a lot of money but I have a lot of ancestors that are Scots. I would love to see where my family comes from. I find it so interesting. this would be a once in a lifetime experience for me. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
Aye, I would always fancy a trip to Scotland. Love to visit my ancestral background being how my grandmother is direct from Glasgow
