Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Wed, July 28, 2004 - 1:03 PMOn both my father's and mother's sides of the family...Dad's side is Campbell (yeah, yeah, yeah, no comments on that one!) and MacAuley and my Mom's is MacDowell & Brown...
I'm 8th generation American, but there have always been a few of us in the family that looked back to the Auld Country...I guess I am just one of those that did... :)

evidently my auntie went back to the auld country and saw the ancestral home... had circumstances not messed with our past, and old Duke Murray not have a penchant for fiddlin' with the maids, I would be next in line for the Duchy...
Here's the website for our ancestral home... isn't it gorgeous??

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Wed, July 28, 2004 - 5:37 PMhmmmmmm in the wayback machine, family came from the parrish of Kimball on the english side of Hadrian's wall after the jacobite business. . . Kimball's left the Campbell clan (thus the respelling). . . came over in 1643 to America. . . . on Dad's side.
On Mom's side. . . both sets of her parents came over in '29 on da boat from Germany. . . thus only 2nd. generation there.

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Wed, July 28, 2004 - 6:27 PMI have Scot blood in me...though my Scottish ancestors came to America in the late 1700's...so no clue which part of the island they came from. I am more german than anything, but I identify most with the Scott. Murrey clan as close as we can tell.

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Thu, July 29, 2004 - 11:43 AMSo with the other tribe are we kissing cousins? :-P
Not sure actually. The name we are going off of is Murr (and oddly, I believe that the name went back to when they crossed the pond...my maternal grandmother was the last in my direct line to have it..again..I think) and the closest clan is Murrey, though it was thought for a time we might have been Muirs too...though as I recall the Murreys and the Muirs were related, could be wrong on that though. It could also have been that they changed their name when the came to The New World in order to fit in better (as Scots and Irish were not considered "white"...they had no rights that the English born did) and if that is the case anything from when they were in Scotland is known only to history. We can track them to North Carolina, but not back to Scotland. -

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Wed, July 28, 2004 - 9:26 PMMy maternal grandfather's side is where I get my Scottish lineage. William Lawson was my ancestor who was born in Montrose and fought in the battle of Culloden. He was captured by the English after battle and shipped to Virginia to work as a farmer for the English. -

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Wed, July 28, 2004 - 10:38 PMI'm Donald from Skye, almost half scottish since my dad is 7/8 scottish (1/8 french). I have a little Campbell from my mother's side too. I'm a 17th generation American, 7th generation California. -

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Thu, July 29, 2004 - 11:45 AM17th?!?!? Ladies in your family start young! :-P
I am 8th generation American, and as you can read above my family came over in the late 1700s or so. It is great that you can track your roots back that far.

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Fri, July 30, 2004 - 1:49 AMI'm a mutt, but I have been slowly looking for my roots. I still need to do some more research, but I may have come from a family in the Ayreshire district in Scotland. That's about as much as I have gathered from a lifetime of attending the local Scotish Games at least. =P

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Tue, November 23, 2004 - 8:22 PMSo if you are 7th generation CA, and have Campbell blood, does this mean you are related to the Goleta/Santa Barbara Campbells? My great grandmother was Daisy Campbell...

Fri, July 30, 2004 - 11:51 AM100% hispanic blood her - both parents were Bolivian immigrants. But I think of myself as a Cardiac celt. You know... in my heart :o). Been obsessed with and dreaming about Scotland since I was a wee lass. Married a Munro (but use the modern spelling) when I was still in college - scottish ancestry. We split up but I try to travel to Scotland every year anyway. Been to some pretty far flung corners. I could go a hundred more times and still never get enough. Can't explain the longing for it really. For someone that makes her living as a wordsmith, its beauty is beyond words. -

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Mon, August 2, 2004 - 4:17 AMWell, no one speaks with a Scottish accent (except for me upon occassion), there are no castles or lochs, the only bagpipes one hears is from my truck's CD player when I'm blaring out "Clann an Drumma" to dround the other folks' rap music, and it's a balmy 80-90 degrees this time of year. . . . Outside of all that, it's EXACTLY like the Scottish one! LOL -

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Tue, August 3, 2004 - 4:43 PMI liked Glasgow when I was there in 97, except I couldn't understand ppl. I asked this guy in a bar if our party was upstairs and he talked for a minute and all I got was "okay" and "go right up", and our bus driver was from Glasgow so I wasn't completely green. Didn't get to see much of the city since we were only there for a night, but after looking at tour books I think I'd like to go back and check out some of the buildings. -

I am a Campbell, but other than the fact that my father's great-grandparents came from Scotland, I know little. My great-grandfather was Sereno Campbell, born in Connecticut in 1833. Is Sereno a Scottish name, or what is it?
See, I told you I didn't know much about it :( -

-
Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Fri, September 17, 2004 - 10:23 AMWhen I google it I get places or things named Sereno, but no people. My father passed away when I was younger, and I remember bits of what he told me about his grandfather. He was for awhile working in Cuba, involved somehow with a sugar plantation and so why would he be there? Possibly Sereno's mother was latin or spanish, that's been my guess.

Re: So, who here actually IS Scottish?
Wed, February 8, 2006 - 12:23 PMI have a variety of Scots ancestors beginning with a grandmother who emigrated from Laurencekirk near Aberdeen in 1906. Her mother was a Stuart from Dundee and her father a Roberts from Dundee, but have ties to Dalgairns, Black, Johnstones, Hogg and Pettie and the MacLellan(d)s on my father's side, who came over earlier. I decided to go with Royal Stewart for my kilt to cover everyone.
