DNA can change everything

[Catharps]

I have the name (SWAN is actually, from what I found, a very old highland name) but not the blood. From what I have found, they have absorbed into the Gunns and MacQueens. My grandfather Swan was adopted in the 1930's as a baby with no known background.

I did the 23andMe genealogy test a couple years ago and found out I am 89% Eastern European- Lithuanian. The rest is 'European', so I guess I can take it any way I want. I thinks its just funny how Pop-pop Swan married a Lithuanian when he had no idea that he himself was mostly of the same make himself.

I just ordered a set of Swan tartan made from Scotweb, I can't wait for it to arrive- its very lovely- and if any one asks, I will claim it as my own, if only in name!
