 Joe Greigg, 
  
I would like to hear more about the MacGregor Proscription and 
it's time frame in history.  Weren't the MacGregors the clan or family 
forced out of Arygll by the Campbells sometime in the 1400s?  Am I even 
close?  Please tell me more...

     Hello Karen and other 
    " Cousins " on the list --
  Just a reminder that the areas 
    that you are listing " proofs " from ,  are  during the 
    time period and in the heart of the homeland  of , in many cases , 
     the MACGREGOR PROSCRIPTION !!!
  That is to say ,  those 
    having the MACGREGOR last name were forced by law to  use any surname 
    available other than their own !!!
  I had posted an article some time 
    ago titled " Sinclair as an Alias . !!
  To establish any case at 
    all for a name transition you will have to use a  time period for " 
    Proof " before 1600 .
  Just for reference , I am a Sinclair on my 
    maternal side and a Magregor sept  on my paternal , so I am very aware of 
    the histories of both clans .
