Second, I want to figure out, as close as possible, which clan is my heritage and perhaps visit the area from which they come. I have a geneology from a deceased Aunt that was finished in the 1980's, that I can refer to to start. But, I'd like to see if I can go further and really nail down my heritage on my Father's side. My Mother is German, and their family is from the Alsace. I have visited my family's roots in France and Germany and have found we come from a former German Royal under Charlemagne. What I have not done yet, and what I will attempt in July is to see the place from which my Father's side comes from. I have learned that my family is a splinter of the Davidson Clan and it appears they are derived from the Chattan Clan. So I guess the Davidson's are also affiliated with the MacPherson Clan which splintered along with the MacKintosh Clan from the Chattan's. I read that all these clan's are linked to the Catti or Chattan's of Perth (1000 AD). It looks like the Davidson's can be traced back to Invernahaven (Badenoch).

I want to make sure this is accurate, and if so try and visit these locations, and perhaps historical sites of tying to them?
