Hmm, why not "adopt" the Robertson? The clan descends from King Malcolm III (of Shakespearean fame), who was married to St. Margaret of Scotland - a Hungarian.

Plenty of red and green in the tartan, as well, to coordinate nicely w/ the modern tricolor flag....

Interesting suggestion! I had always felt a connection with her due to her birthplace, as well as other reasons.

Actually (I wish I knew how to make a link to another thread), last year I wrote up a brief biography of St. Margaret on here. While she was born in Hungary, she was a member of the British royal family (granddaughter of King Edmund "Ironside" and niece of Edward the Confessor), and in line for the throne of England.

Thank you for the welcome. I was inspired to join by someone named McFarkus. My family name is Farkas without the "Mc". One letter and an small omission. What the heck. Jump in.
