Hi, I have posted replies to a couple of people and just came upon yours. I also have the same problem of not being sure where ancestors were born Ireland or Scotland, I have always been told Ireland, but, upon reading your message there seems to be some kind of a connection. My grandfather was James Alexander Ewart and he has or had a cousin(?) named John (married to Mary) they were from Scotland and I have been told that my great great grandfather was a ship's captain. My great grandfather was Dave Ewart who married Marion Eagleson.
