Hello List. As I am fairly new to searching for information on my Scottish roots, I wonder if someone on the list would be so kind as to explain to me why most Scottish names are included in Clans , but some do not seem to be. I have searched many sites trying to find out what Clan that the BRYDON family would belong to and have been unable to find any connection to any Clan. If in fact the BRYDON family did not belong to a Clan would there have been a reason. I hope this is not to basic a question to be asking, but I am a firm believer in the old adage...."If you don't know,,,ASK ! Thank you in advance to anyone willing to assist, or who could point me to a source that could answer my query. Barb Andrew Brandon, Manitoba Canada
