I belong to the House of Gordon New Zealand, not only because my mother's father was a Crombie (his people came from Auchterderran in Fife) but also because she is the President/ Commissioner for the House of Gordon New Zealand. Through her I also can claim ties with the Hays and Morrisons.

Thought my surname is an Irish one, Ó hAllmhuráin, both my father and I are also members of Clan Donald New Zealand through my fathers mother who was a Wilkie (she was born in the UK). I also have a Feileadh mhor in the County Clare Tartan.

My wife has a Welsh surname but can claim ties with Clan keith through her mother being a Dixon as well as having Harvey ties. The also supposedly are decended from one of the Dukes of Argyll.

In fact there wouldn't be to many kiwis with out a splash of Scots blood in them, we even had or still have more pipebands per head of population than Scotland... not bad for a country with only 4 million people and bigger than the UK land mase wise!
