Hi Everyone, I am Evie Thompson and I am the AR commisioner for Clan MacTavish and we are not a sept of Clan Campbell and this can be confirmed by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. There are DNA projects and research sites out there and as soon as I can get to my files and such I can post some links if anyone is interested!!! Could we provide sources for some of these claims, especially on the ego playing into the spelling of these surnames. There are some who take pride in their surnames and would like to see facts on these kind of comments!!!
