I went to Orkney, Scotland last year to connect with ancestors, Joseph Slater, or Sclater, to find a year later, his brother John Slater, a founding father of Metis tribe...happy to help. My Scottish aunt did 30 years of research and wrote a book, "The Story of Our Family." I found 4 months of family, 32 generations back from me to Viking King Havard Klo, and this is fun...Aloha from Maui, Claire
