I was blessed with having a grandfather who loved genealogy and history. He once said, despite our Scandinavian last name "I think we're more celtic than than the Swedes in our family would admit to". My brother and I have been bitten by his same bug. Once we found that the first in our line to come to America was born in Scotland, I kept looking for other connections.

Here are some of the recent connectinons I've found that completely suprised me:

A great-great grandmother with the name Carruthers (Sept of Bruce clan)
Great Grandmother Hall.
Great-great-great Grandmother Hunter.
Great-great-great grandmother born in Edinburgh and her father's christening records are from St. Giles there.

Perhaps my grandfater was right. Now I can't help thinking, hmmmm..maybe I should get 3 more kilts for the Bruce, Hunter and Hall connections. Darn...3 more ;-)
