Bernard and Doug, We had a Morrison on Benbecula tested recently to see if he'd match the Benbecula McPhersons, but he turned out to be a Viking, so may be from the Morrisons who trace their family to the Norwegian man and the Irish woman. I am far from an expert on either Irish or Scottish history, but I think it is quite possible that the O'Muirghesians are like other clans--more diverse than we think. Allene

Allene, About the only thing working in my favor is that nobody ever told me any tall tales or wild stories about my family history, so I had little in the way of expectations as I began my research, and I am open to any developments.
