Thank you all for your thoughts as it is most appreciated!

This journey to rediscover my roots has been a fascinating one and very rewarding. There is so much to say on the subject yet, interestingly, the more science-based DNA genealogical test, Geno 2.0, placed my mother's side possibly into Northern Ireland as far back as 19,000+-2,000 years ago, and my maternal haplogroup (H2a5b) has possible Norwegian DNA (I was verified to have Scandinavian DNA by Family Tree DNA which makes sense as Norway was known to viking into Ireland as early as 800 AD or so). As I also have English DNA, I am thinking that the Stephens clan came to Ireland and married into my family that was already there (explains my DNA mix of Irish and English).

Yet, as noted, the realization of where I got my Scottish DNA results came when I thought about my mother's grandmother side but the only site to show more formally where this side may have originated was from something like a name searching company, which I agree is a little uncomfortable but I have nothing else to go off of. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Along that line, I would not have known to connect Sooter towards MacTavish. This is very interesting, yet I have no idea how to make a connection such as this, thus how does one do so?

I will be sure to send Mr. Macdonald (figheadair) a PM.

THANK YOU, everyone! I hope this is not silly or rude to say, yet I do feel very honored to be Irish, Scottish, and English. Plus, if Welsh is right for the English DNA then I guess I can get that Celtic tattoo to show my heritage (Irish, Scottish, and Welsh).
