[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Ok, question then. Never met my father. I am Corey MacLeod, taking my mother's maiden name. My grandparents were both MacLeods when they met. Haven't found a common ancestor for the two yet. Anyway, what does that mean for me?

It means that biologically, legally, and heraldicly, you are a MacLeod.

You are in the same legal position as the Earl of Erroll, who took his mother's family name at birth (Hay) to be able to inherit both the Chiefship of Clan Hay and the Earldom of Erroll, while his younger brother took his father's name (Moncrieff) and inherited the Chiefship of Clan Moncrieff.

Does that answer your question, Mr. MacLeod?

It answers enough for sure. Thank you.
