So my friend decided that she would post something about her Irish heritage which got me all "I SHOULD POST SOMETHING ABOUT MY SCOTTISH HERITAGE!!!" which was why there was David Tennant... and BARROWMAN!!!!!!! I was trying to find out if I was in the same clan as them. So yeah. I'm Scottish. I think my great grandfather was the last full Scottish person in the family on my mom's side. On my dad's side, it was also pretty far back. Anyways, I'm English, Irish, and Scottish. What a wonderful combination. If we ever had a family reunion, it'd cause the next World War. I'm also Mannish, Dutch, and German but let's not worry about that right now. I have a ton of fun heritage stories to tell.
Mother:
I have no idea what my Scottish clan is but the lst name I have too work with is Ricketts. I don't know. I have done a ton of research and nothing popped up. Probably because I'm trusting all of my grandma's stories and she has a tendency to forget something that happened five minutes ago. I know I have one (we found the crest and everything) I just don't know which one it is and I'm trying to find it again by myself. I remember i starts with an R though. I'm not sure which R clan though. I think it's Rollo. But I'm not certain.
Father:
My clan on my dad's side is MacLeod. We traced it through the name Lewis which ended when my grandma married my grandpa. Anyways, through that name, we raced it to the MacLeod's.
Guess who's also a MacLeod?
That's right. David Tennant. Who's mom's surname was MacLeod.
No biggy, I'm just, y'know, related to the Doctor.

You lucky little... Why?! No biggy! Just wait till our friends hear this. Anyway, when you figured this out, what was your reaction?
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit like Allie's. I kind of screamed and flipped out and hugged random things. I was all like "So I was going through my Scottish ancestry an-" "Wait. I can see where this is going. Are you related to David Tennant?" So yeah, she knows.
