The only sure way you can tell which clan you might belong to is to see if you can find the place of birth or death in Scotland of your Scottish ancestors who lived during the period from 1600 to 1700. If the two clans were in the same general geographic area, it may still be difficult to determine which clan is correct. The clan association is the best place to start.

There is a map on www.electricscotland.com that will give you the approximate geographic locations of the clan during this period of time.
