Those people of Sinclair ancestry who, because of the custom of adopting 
the name
of the father,  no longer carry the name of Sinclair are generally referred 
to as para-genetic
Sinclairs and have invariably shown themselves to be every bit as proud of 
their ancestry
as their "Sinclair" cousins.

"A rose by any other name.........................."

We welcome them all.  The Clan would be a poorer place without them.  There 
is a rich
diversity here united by common ancestry and uncommon talent.
