Hi I'm presently trying to trace the movements of people with this surname and am assured that they are a sept of clan Gunn.The problem is that my ancestors with this name can be traced back to Magdeburg in Germany during the 17th century and I am wondering if anyone has any idea how they might have ended up there. It is not a German name and there are many of them in the USA and more in the German telephone book than in Caithness or Orkney. Why? Any ideas would be welcome.They are all non conformists, Lutherans, Moravians etc. Peter Shevlin
