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 .
