How far back is too far?

[Steve Ashton]

When you are researching are you finding any locations? The Highland Clans were influenced areas. Such as valleys or - 'from this side of that Loch to that peak'.

Not every one within an area would have the same name, and someone with a particular name could live somewhere else.

If you look at the entire population of Scotland you will find that the majority were not part of the Highland Clan system at all.

So what is far more important than name, is location. It is more about "where" your people come from.
