Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EEX.2ACIB/820 Message Board Post: I've noted on several Scottish sites that the MacOuat/McOuat surname is a Sept of Clan Forbes, but am not able to find anywhere when this name evolved from the Forbes surname. Anyone have any idea, or know of any resources where I could find this information? Thanks, Bill
