<Copy> I once tried looking up the origin of my surname... it seems my ancestors were a tribe (not even a clan!) of war-faring kilted Scots in days gone by... that was all I was able to trace. <End> Don't give up. Even war-loving tribes have been found and research-able. It just takes more effort, and possibly a trip or two to Ireland. My family is a little bit of American Indian, Irish, British, & Australian.
