Andrews / Ross connection ?
My family is half Andrews . My family members tell me that Andrews is an offshoot of the Ross clan . Some things I read confirm this while some things I read say that may not the case . Does anyone know which is correct ?

I thought that Andrews was classed as a Sept of Anderson -

But, Anderson is an armigerous clan (no current Chief) and is itself considered a sept of Clan Ross.

No real Ross connection. To some extent, shows how nonsensical the "sept" idea is. See, for example,
http://www.clanandersonsociety.org/name_history.html
i.e. Lord Lyon originally recognised a "free-standing" Anderson Clan.
