What a hospitable group of folks you are. Thanks for all the welcoming comments. I look forward to talking with you all more and hopefully I'll get the chance to meet some of you in the future.
Welcome to the rabble from Illinois. Nice to see that your family is all getting interested with you. It's always good to have an interest that you can all enjoy together. Sounds like the kilt addiction is just beginning at your place too.
Welcome to the rabble from Oregon. I'm a Brown on my mothers side, yet we from the Clan Lamont. So donn is brown in gaelic? That's my first name, and spelled that way as well. So if I was to take my mothers maiden name would that make me Brown Brown? Too early and too confusing for this one
My patrilineal line is Brown. To America from England in 1637. From Ireland before that and from Scotland yet before as a sept of Clan Lamont. My Spouse is is a MacLucas, which is also a sept of Clan Lamont. My mother's side of the family is very diverse as well. I have traced back the McNeillys to MacNeil of Barra, and some of the intermarriages to both Lamont and Campbell (Ouch). Add in a little bit of MacLaren, Macdougall, Graham, Thompson, Miller, etc. The genealogical research is the fun part. Now I need/want a kilt in each of these tartans......the jonesing is already getting scary.
