Mary, two references for Scott family tree, in the Blackwood Family History manuscript trees Collection in the LinenHall library, Belfast. I think it most likely both are County Down . Visit if you can give them warning helps, if you cant then I suggest you write to them asking them for photocopying estimates only if they think your knowledge relevant and be prepared to pay the extra for post and packing if you are tempted. “The Library welcomes all research enquiries, whether made in person, by phone, fax, letter or e-mail.
