What's Your Full Name?

I find it amazing that so much has been learned about each other in this thread just by some-one asking " What's your full name" ?

I never told you mine but it is Ronald Peter Buttress . 

I have tried (though not hard) to trace my family, but from what I can find, I don't exist, and that's fine by me. I know who I am.

Diana--you likely know all this judging from your own comments but perhaps might explain things a bit during those turbuent times.  Donnachaidh is Celtic for Children of Duncan and line goes back to King Malcom II.

Chief Duncan and the Clan also fought in the Battle of Bannockburn, outside Stirling Castle, in 1314, during which King Bruce routed the English forces under King Edward II. Duncan died about 1355.

Duncan's great grandson Robert Ruabh Duncanson, became the forth Chief in the late 1300's. In 1437 King James I of Scotland was murdered at Perth, Robert, along with other members of the clan, pursued and captured the murderers on the moor above Invervack. Those captured were the Earl of Atholl, Sir Walter Stewert; his grandson, Sir Robert Stewert; and Sir Robert Graham. In 1451, King James II, out of gratitude, granted Robert a charter making the family lands into the Barony of Struan. This is represented in the chief's crest by a man in chains below the shield. As a result of receiving the Barony, the followers of Robert began calling themselves Robert's sons, thus the Clan name changed from Donnachaidh to the present Robertson.

Thank you Paul! That was a nice bit of homework!

Hi Wolf! Yeah, what Cathy and Lyn said!
