Welcome to the forum. I'm fortunate that my great grandmother was a MacWilliam and although stopping in Ireland for a few years, the family is originally from Scotland, "far North" is what the family stories are. MacWilliam is sept of Gunn, so Clan Gunn it is for me! Several years ago my brother and I, dressed as Jacobite, escorted the commander of Clan Gunn into the Stone Mt. Games. It was a great honour. He and his wife are grand folk. Recently, while my wife and I were in Hawaii, I was wearing a t shirt with SCOTS written across the front (at the Kilauea Volcano) and a fellow walked up and said, "What clan?" I remarked proudly, "Gunn". "AHH", he said, "I'm Al Gunn from California. VP of the Gunn Society". Well, I had read of this man from the Gunn Clan newsletter and we talked for a bit, signing off with, "Pax Aye!" It's a small world! Malcolm
