    newbie of macgregor descent

    Hello All,

    My mothers side of the family has always been into their Scottish heritage, and we even had family lore about being from a clan where we had to change our name and hide. I started becoming more involved in our family tree, and found we are from the Macgregor clan.

    This led me into kilts, which lead me here (among other places)
    To express my heritage, I wore traditional clothes during my wedding/reception

    Welcome from Killeen

    Glad to have you aboard! By any chance are you related to the SGT John MacGregor of Alamo fame?

    Why no I am not, the Scottish side of my family came over in 1901, and hid under the surnames Whyte and Graham.
