SportingShooter 0 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Mine is mostly English, with a pocket in North East Scotland If I go back to maternal and paternal surnames, they are pretty evenly split between Wales and England. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foxgun Tom 75 Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I need a surname especially if its Scottish or Scottish based to find out if you have a family tartan or clan affiliation, anybody else wants to find out let me know and I'll do a search Tom Ps: you can wear a clan tartan if your name allows?? Clan societies and Clan Chiefs validate your membership of a Clan, a rule like that probably only applies to me as I'm a boring old fart with traditional family ties and links Mine is celtic aswel, more or less only common in Scotland especially Inverness,How did you find out what ''clan'' you are?

Malt 379 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Tom, was it true that if a man married a woman from a clan with a higher status, he'd take her name? I think I remembered it from somewhere, or I'm thinking of something else! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
