Have a question... When going for your ancestry, do you go off of your father or mothers side? It's sooo convuluded. My last name is Hornsby (father's side obviously), very English with an actual village in Cumbria UK named Hornsby where we all originally hail from. Then on my mothers side, her maide name (her fathers name) is Christian, which is Scottish from the original "Christianus." Then her mothers (my grandmother) maiden name is Macdaniel, which is an anglicized version of Macdonald of the clan Macdonald in the Hebrides Islands on the West Coast of Scotland.

So as you can see I have majority of Scottish ancestry in my blood, but i currently carry the name of my father who's background is English. Can I "claim" the tartan of the Macdonald clan from Scotland, since it's my mothers side, does that make a difference? How does this work?
