Clan Determination

Hey cousin, though there is no "e" on Clark, didn't you know ? (I am kidding, well at least it is meant in jest).

.

And prepare yourself for a dissappointment. Virtually all Clarkes are shown in England, well south of the Scottish Border, centered around Bristol. Clark without an e is shown as more evenly distributed between Scotland and England.

Actually, the 'e' on the end of my name comes from my grandfather. He was the youngest of seven brothers growing up, and wanted to be different, so when he started going to elementary school, he added the 'e' to the end of our name. Funny how just two generations ago you could do that without anyone blinking an eye, and now, you have to deforest a small country for the paperwork involved in changing a name

Thanks for the tips and helpful links, I'll see what I can find as to further back in the family line, but it all gets murky when it hits Tennessee. I'll keep digging though...
