Scottish Clan Updates

I am the manager for several Scottish Clan sites on wikitree.com, a free Genealogy site that is worth your time (http://www.wikitree.com). I manage the profiles for BRUCE, GORDON, KEITH, MURRAY, and SUTHERLAND, as well as related history and other material about the Clans. That same material, and then some, is now available on this site from the Scottish/Irish Clans link on the Menu Bar on the Home Page. Other Clans connected to us, including Seton and Gunn, are managed by other members of Wikitree.

Personally, I (Michael) link to Clan Gordon about 13 generations back on my mother’s side. As I follow Gordon ancestors further back, they intermarry and I also become part of Clan Murray. I also have maternal links to Clan McMahon from County Clare (probably!), Ireland, although little is known about them in Ireland. They came to the U.S. during the Irish Potato Famine in the early 1800’s, and far more information is available on this side of the ocean than where they came from.

Cyndie is from Clan Murray, but through various links can also identify ancestors in Clan Bruce, Clan Gunn, Clan Keith, and Clan Sutherland. We have followed Cyndie’s lineage back to when the Murrays were Norman knights who came from Belgium to fight in England in the 1oth Century, and stayed on as landowners, politicians and soldiers. Many of our Clan members fought in the Crusades, but we haven’t hashed out exactly who and when yet.

Bruce and Keith are Lowlands Scots, while the others are Highlands Scots. Various alliances were established in Scottish history to defend against the invasions of warriors from Scandinavia, England, France, and other locations in Europe. The easiest way to differentiate the two areas is to say the Lowlands included the large cities, farms and industry, while the Highlands remained a relatively-undeveloped area with some farming and livestock as the principle source of income. On the Clan map on our Scottish/Irish Clans page, the Highlands are the darker areas in western and northern Scotland, and the lighter areas to the south and east just above England are the Lowlands.
