Woo Hoo!! We'll have to have a meeting of the Clan!!

I can't wait to see what your grandfather has to show!

Interesting...

My great-grandfather was a MacGregor. I guess that's the tartan of my "ancestors".

When I see this thread title I think of fish sauce.

Anyone else?

Oh I know...but its kind of a joke with my family. We don't know any others who spell it with two S's, so we always tell people that they spell it wrong and we're the only one's who are right! Even funnier, my great grandfather changed it...we used to be 1 S too!

Got it! The founder of our genealogical society was a Harriss, and always said, "With two s's." My daddy used to say, "Yep, she's right - there are definitely two s's back there, and she's a pain in both!" I'm sure you can imagine how he pronounced the "s's"!! ;)

He was being nice for my mother's sake: Mrs. Harriss was stuck on one of the problems she was having in completely her genealogical certification, and my mother told her where to look. She would never admit it, though!

Would saying that I find Craig Ferguson terribly sexy fit in this thread? It has been noted that I have this thing for Scotsmen!

Wow, are there no other Shaws on here? I knew it was one of the smaller clans, but I didn't think it was that small.

Interesting. Most sources I have seen (none of which I can find now, of course) say the opposite.
