My mom was born in England, my dad in NY, his parents were from NY, and their parents were from Russia and Romania. Turns out that my Scottish clan, Clan Cumming, used to be in line for the Scottish throne. We started to research my fiance's clan, Clan McFarland, and it turns out that his family sided with Robert the Bruce (remember the guy in Brave Heart who wore the big furs?) and during a battle, assisted in killing my ancestor in the Church of Dumfries in 1306. So much for the throne! Anyway, a very strange connection, I thought.
