There is a little bit of doubt in that way, but also on my father's side, the family line or history isn't "spoken" of and it's pretty much lost... I do know that I have many, many, many half relatives, most of which I have never met. I thought the half set Lamont tartan had an odd symbolic meaning in my life. I just don't feel that connection to my family line that others do...
It's funny, I lived with my grandmother for a while as a kid too. That was when my parents were working up to and going through their divorce. I don't think she had any Scottish roots though, what ever that means...
* I should add that I think it's great that a lot of the other folks have their family histories and so on worked out and that they are proud of their family connections.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
