I've been researching for weeks... and it's pretty obvious...

I'm about as Scottish as everything else... "A Wee Bit".

Maternal Side - Mostly English, however dating back to the 1500's in America, by way of Holland (mostly Pilgrims/Puritans). Very little deviation in the Paternal side of my Maternal side. Maternal/Maternal is typical Appalacian Scots-Irish and I'm having a tough time tracking down specifics, lots of very common names.

Paternal Side - My dad was adopted, so I followed his maternal line all the way to Wales - down to the first person to have the surname "Davis", the son of a man with the name David Ab Iuean (Of John, born in the 1500's) - who had dozens of children that all kept the Davis surname.

Paternal, biological Father's last name was Trott, tracked back as far as I can ends up in Maryland in the late 1700's with possible ties to England and France but nothing concrete. However his great-great-grandmother was an Urqhart, granddaughter of a Deacon William Urqhart from Cromarty, Scotland. This deacon was married to a MacKaye, and his son (of the same name) was married to a MacIntyre (American born).

What does this mean? Well, maybe I won't have as hard of a time finding my tartan now... :-)

Although, I do find the Welsh National to be a fairly stunning tartan and look forward to wearing it one day soon.
