Agreed! When I first became enthralled with tracing my family line, I went on pretty much the "norm". We kept hearing "you're a Nelson so, you can belong to several clans".

Well, this wasn't good enough for me. I wanted specifics, plain and simple. It has taken us 20 some years to get to where we are today. That's why I'm proud of my line. The more I became "involved" with learning my family's history and, the further back we had gone . . the more interesting it became.
