Finding the Wife's clan
My wife is trying to connect with her Scottish Ancestry, but we're having trouble coming up with any links. I am hoping someone on XMarks may have some info!
The Facts
-surname is Slimmon, related to the Saxon name Sleeman
-Family originated in England, possibly Devonshire, but moved to The Scottish Border (Kelso area) during the 13th century
-During the 16th century spread to Northern Ireland and in the 17th to the New World
-I have looked at various Lowland clans and where possible their septs, looking for any name that resembles Slimmon or Sleeman. The closest one appears to be Swinton.
If anyone has even the littlest tidbit of info please share! She's lining up her first tartan skirt and wants to learn more about her clan, tartan selection, etc.
Thanks gang!
