clan associations

[Graham A. Robieson]

I have found it hard to find a clan for my last name. I guess LYTHGOE is not associated with a prominent clan. I am not really sure though.

LYTHGOE/LITHGOW - Linlithgow, to Berwick etc. 13th c. Most likely with an association to a place rather than a clan, can lead you to which clan occupied which place...and that could hold some connections for you.


All the best,
