Leah,
Tempting as it might be to make use of others' trees etc., I can tell you it often leads to a waste of time. One site that I do not recommend has a name something like JandJroots. This is the work of two sisters and was a tremendous undertaking. I have not looked at most of it - only the entries that concerned my family, or purported to do so - and I have no doubt that much of it is correct; but certainly not all. In the case of my family, it showed ancestors farther back than I had been able to go, even using patronymics. I emailed the site and asked the source of their information, and was told "church records". At that point, I decided not to use the site again because there are no church records going back that far.They appear to have been creative.
Painstaking as it may seem, the best, most-fruitful methodology is to start on a firm foundation, i.e. some officially-documented event, and work backwards from there. There is a site that you may wish to explore if you have not already done so. It is called ScotlandsPeople and is a pay-per-view site, but if you "get all your ducks in a row" before you use it you can limit the use of your pre-paid credits. It is certainly worth Googling it and taking a look. The Mormon church's IGI is also helpful.
Good luck in your search.
Ian
