HeathBar,

Joining the clan societies is definitely an option, I do what I can to support and honor every part of my ancestry. My surname is very common and is either Welsh or German. I have not yet been able to dig far enough back to determine which one it is.


ForresterModern,

You are correct about the genealogical connection. And the issue of upsetting the clan is what I am trying to avoid. I am also trying to make sure I do not wind up insulting members of the clans that I would be claiming.
