man, I tell you it pours. While dealing with a bout of insomnia (which I do way too often) I decided to do a little research on the old family tree. Some of you may recall that I was fairly disappointed that my Walker line seems to be English, not Scots. Well, I just found a Gregg line that definitely goes back to Argyll (MacGregor), and a Dixon line that I've got back to Ulster so far, but that's a name associated with several Scots clans(Chattan, Keith, Macpherson, and Sutherland). I've also found a few more Irish lines as well. It's always neat when one of those big blank sections get suddenly filled with history, but it's even nicer when it turns out Scots or Irish. (Or both, I guess you could say in the case of the Ulster Scots.) I wonder what surprises await next time I rattle the old family timber.

I guess I'm gonna have to get at least a MacGregor kilt now. (Like I really needed an excuse for another kilt.)
