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.

Dunrobin School
Clan Sutherland members might be interested in how Dunrobin Castle was used between 1965 and 1972 as a boarding school along the lines of Gordonstoun.
A book has been written by one of the Headmasters and a Geography master along with stories from the old pupils.
Your Clan Chief has written the Foreword and it is going to press shortly. Proceeds to a book charity.
If you are interested in purchasing the book, please contact johnamalcolm@aol.com thank you.
