Any have any success tracing your family back?
Yep. The whole way back to Scotland. Three brothers apparently had the choice to emigrate to the new world, or face punishment for their crimes ( horse stealing primarily) The settled in Westmoreland County Pa. in the mid 1700s, fought in the Revolution and the Indian wars and started the whole clan between them.
My grandfather used to say, when queried, " you don't want to know about that side of the family...bunch of horse thieves..."
