Looking For MacDonald History

[Graham A. Robieson]

Greetings,

Here is some background info on the name 'JENKIN, JENKINS', Moray, Lanarkshire etc. 16th c. and 'CROMB' As CRUM; MACDONALD to GORDON...'CRUM, CROOM', Benderloch, MACDONALD.

JENKINS is associated with a place/district...you can look for a district tartan or find what clan occupied those areas and which could hold connections for you on your father's side.

CRUM is also associated with a place/district and clan MacDonald, the sept 'CRUM' belongs to an individual family, unless you can clearly trace your roots to that clan sept...then mostly like a location/district would hold greater connections for you on your mother's side.

Hope this info. sheds some more light on your roots,


All the best,


Graham


Another Note: you can wear whatever tartan you want...however you can not make claims of clanship if your not recognised as a member by a chief...chiefs are the sole authority on clan matters...and decide what tartans are recognised for the clan.
