Looking for Advice

[Katertot79]

I am trying to figure out which clan colors I should be wearing as part of my heritage, and I could use some advice. So, for the past 6 months, I have been doing genealogical research on my family trying to track down my Scottish heritage. (Quick history: My family with only one exception has been in the US for over 300 years so it's been hard to trace back things until recently as I'm the first person, that I'm aware of, to really care about our heritage).

Anyways, I've been able to trace back my two most paternal lines back to Paisley, Scotland in the 1600's.

I have an 8th great grandfather named John Whyte who was an apothecary. (Most paternal line)

I have an 8th great grandmother named Barbara Hume. (My second most paternal line)

Whyte is a sept of both Clans Lamont and Gregor, but I can't find any information that ties my Whyte ancestor to either clan specifically and I'm certain that I've hit a dead end.

Hume, of course, is another variant of Home as in Clan Home, and I feel much more confident about the clan connection in that lineage.

What do y'all think? Or should I try and keep digging to see if I can't find any more information. My goal in the end would be to go with one clan, and that be my clan for here on out if possible.
