I have traced back to the early 1700's on both sides and found that most all of the lineage comes from the UK area as noted. But with the Scots being the traditional with the highland dress of a kilt and if I was to wear one with what seems to be the correct lineage than that is what I was wondering on how to say it, not that it is neccessarily true and correct but how? I mean we can always go back as far as Israel if we wanted to push the envelope that far for our true lineage??????
Why would you want to say something about your lineage that is anything other than true and correct? That is, why misrepresent oneself as something other than what and who one is?

BTW no one can trace their pedigree to pre-Christian Israel via documented sources. The earliest reliable Western sources go back only to the immediate ancestors of Charlemagne, from whom virtually everyone of European ancestry is descended, in one way or another, or several. It is possible that one of Charlemagne's great grandmothers, Berta, was a Merovingnian, and if so, that would put it back another couple of centuries. Before that, nothing is reliable, it's all myth and conjecture.
