The problem is that I don't think that my last name is Scottish. As far as I know, Burke, my last name is an Irish name, as is O'Donnell, my mum's maiden name.

For me the ancestory is Macfie. The family moved to Canada in the 1800's from South Uist in the Outer Hebrides. My Dad then moved down to the United States in the 60's (or maybe it was the 70's, I can't quite remember). On his side it's Scottish and Hungarian. On my Mom's side, all kinds of stuff. Some Scottish though on her side (name of Oren as I recall). My Dad's citizenship in Canada was as a "Scottish Canadian" up untill the 1950's when Canadians had their british citzenship taken away. He grew up being a "Scottish Canadian" and so he's passed it down to me. I've always been told that while my citizenship is as an American, at heart, I am really Scottish.
