Seemingly I'm descended from clan Campbell on my fathers side, and clan MacKenzie on my mothers side. That's 2 pretty big clans...
Didn't think you'd miss that Goldy.
My Mother's family also supposedly have both Campbell and MacKenzie ties. I think Campbell on my Grandmother's side and MacKenzie on my Grandfather's.

Aye could be. Would be a few generations at least though.

Goldy and Sabot related huh, oyy vey.
As for me, my heritage is Irish as far back as is traceable as records from the 19th century are absolute crap. However my last name is Watson which traces back to Scotland lol
I however was born and raised in Canada just north of Toronto. I hold dual citizenship both Ireland and Canada so I can work and live here or anywhere in the EU.

Mine's a completely ridiculous and uninspiring mish-mash of Irish (from Derbyshire), late 19th century India, Tees-siders, travelling fairgrounds, railway ownership and stupid rumours about Captain Cook.
I really wish I was making this up.

I am adopted and know nothing of my genetic heritage, so I have got nothing.

I am a huge mutt. 1/2 Irish (Loftus - though originally English, i.e. Adam Lofthousse, once Queen Bessie's exchequer in Dublin, 100 years later descendants had gone native in Galway); 3/16 Scots (Alexander); 1/8 Swede (Lundgren); 1/16 Taffy (Edwards); 1/16 Cornish (Elliot) and 1/16 French Canadian (Millette) the last being my surname - go figure.
However, I'm 100% Chicagoan - Go Hawks!
