I have been searching for my ancestoral roots for quite some time now. - Grandfather's name was Joseph Halkett, D.O.B. 12/12/1897, He served in WW1, Regimental #'s 886505. I believe his father, my Great Grandfather's name was Jacob. Where would I look to find my Great Grandfather's ancestors. My dad told me that my grandpa (Joseph) told him we originated from Scotland. I had questioned my dad years ago as to why we have hints of red in our hair and that's when he told me what his father told him about Scotland. Apaprently my dad and his brothers had bright red hair when they were young.

- Any info or advice in locating my roots would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, just for the sake of getting a hit on your post you need to go back and edit the title by adding the name to it instead of saying "looking for ancestors!" Most folks won't look if they don't have a name to draw their attention to the article. Good luck from one researcher to another. DSW
