And, it does feel good to connect with those that came before and passed on the genes that make me who I am. Without any of them, I don't exist.

My uncle did some research on our line some time ago. I found out through perusing his notes that I had a highland ancestor named John Reynolds back in the late 1600's. I did a little of my own research and found there was a Reynolds sept under MacDonald of Clanranald.
Now I realize it's a coin toss as to whether or not this particular ancestor was part of that clan or not, but it was enough to spark me into learning more about that clan, and the clan system in general.
So I have John Reynolds to thank for feeding my interest in Scottish history, and I think a MacDonald of Clanranald kilt would be a fine way to memorialize that connection.
