This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bruce Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XOG.2ACIB/1297.4 Message Board Post: Family legend has maintained we are descended from Robert the Bruce. I am sorry I cannot help you with his Norman ancestry though such does, indeed, exist. I have notes saying the Earl of Devon encouraged George, William and Walter Bruce to come to Virginia in the 1600's but I can't verify dates or places of birth, death, or marriage for them. Are you willing to share information?
