Dunrobin Castle
Just wanted to express my gratitude to the builders of Dunrobin Castle. For various reasons it is a place I carry in my heart forever.

Sutherlands in The Netherlands
My wife descends from James Sutherland, Born 1740 Wick Caithness in Scotland. He was Corporal in the 2nd Bataillon of the Regiment Stuart in The Netherlands.
James was married 1773 in the city of Zutphen to John Ann Richie. Daughter of Robert Richie, Sergeant in the Compagnie of Colonel Munro, 1st Bataillon of the Regiment Stuart in The Netherlands. Her mother was Jan Gown of Gunn.
We're looking for Scottish ancestors of both James Sutherland and Robert Richie.
Anything you can give me would be very helpful.
Thank You,
Albert Ruijtenbeek

Nice to connect
Lovely to find this website. I wonder how many Sutherlands there are worldwide? My branch is more recently from Canada.

We have no idea because we are one of the smallest clans and of course notoriously bad at producing sons down the male line so regularly dependent on son-in-laws changing their surname to Sutherland

Hector, if your father was born in Scotland, you should be able to purchase a copy of his birth certificate in a matter of minutes on the Scotland's People website if he was born before 1919 and if you know your grandparents names, their marriage certificate too.
