Life Ancestry search help. Could use a couple of the site experts here

OK, I've been dabbling in building the family tree again and hit a snag. My great grandmother on my mothers side has a brick wall after here.

Anyway, what I have found searching through the census reports and avaialble records is that she was born in Osage County Kansas but her parents were born in Scotland. I was able to find the family she was staying with in Topeka, she worked for them as a housemaid. (I also think here sister may have as well, listed on the census report at a servant) I tracked what I could of that family and it seems they all have died off.

Is there some way I can track records that might link her from Kansas back to Scotland? The family she worked for the parents were from Tennessee and Wisconsin but it appears that their two children were born in Kansas.

Based on what I have, I think her real parents from Scotland may have come here and passed away so the kids were taken in as servants for this Topeka family.
