Beautiful tartans!
FYI - the first rule of genealogy is that, since spelling was only standardized about 200 years ago, names that are similar are often the same. Hence,
Soundex! It's a system which allows you to trace names more easily. In fact, I've often said that, if I
ever get a tatoo, it will be Soundex, on my one hand!
One of my other names I trace is McCullough. There are
28 ways of spelling McCullough. Had I ignored the other 27, I would not have been able to get as far back as I have!
