    Let's see, my ancestral makeup is lots of English and German, a shot each of Scottish and Irish, and maybe a sprinkling of Welsh and French (I haven't verified the last two), plus the rumored American Indian (which I'll believe when I find evidence). From what I've found so far, I have roughly 6% or so Scottish ancestry.

    My Scottish blood comes from my paternal grandmother, whose maiden name was McKean, a derivative of MacIan. Also back in her line are some Cahoon, also Scottish in origin. That side of the family has been on this side of the pond since at least the mid-1700's, so there has been just a bit of blending.:rolleyes:
