Clan advice and maybe tartan

[ALyon]

I have gone nuts with family history. I found out that the male side of my family kept a Bible and the births and names go back quite a bit but not enough and sadly I don't know who these people are, just a lot of Lyon's like me. I would like to join a clan, and get a nice kilt, but there is an issue.

First, my family tells me we are from clan Murray, I have no physical proof at this time. Name registers put me as a Farquharson. The Murray web site says provide proof, the Farquharson site says come on, your name matches. I know from reading history that marriages and war often changed things for people but what do I do? Go with word of mouth, or what I can read.

Second, are any of you part of more than one clan? My grandmother was a Ross so at least that one was easy.

P.S. This has got to be the greatest website ever. I'm so used to rude and mean people on the internet. Its refreshing to find a place where people are civil and inviting, not to mention encouraging. Thank you all for being so amazing!!
