Scottish Ancestors

[gilmore]

....(so I'm told) William Wallace was listed as one of my distant ancestors....

I am afraid you were told wrongly. The famous William Wallace had no known children or collateral descendants. This issue was the subject of a thread on the Wallace surname forum at rootsweb.com not too long ago.

Well, that being the case, perhaps he's a distant uncle (third cousin twice removed) or something! ;) There's no denying that my maternal grandfather's surname is Wallace, nor that my family has links with Scotland.

Gee, the stuff you learn here on Xmarks! Great, ain't it?
