On a recent trip to Scotland while staying in a bed and breakfast at Crief, I found an entry in a Lowland Scots Dictionary of the name BREWSTER with the meaning given as the equivalent of the English word Brewer, i.e. beer maker. Also, I understand that place names and proper names in Scotland ending in 'ster' were names originally attributed to the Viking raiders of the first millenium. Are you interested in Brewster genealogy?
