The Clan Gregor Genealogy & Traditions

"What if I can't find where my ancestor came from? What should I do?"

Due to the forced name changes during the Proscription, more MacGregors face this problem than many other clans. Take heart - there are a few things you CAN do. Just one of the following suggestions might offer up something you'd not previously considered.

  • Have you looked at not just your branch of your family, but at the entire family?

  • Have you looked for previously unknown family members? (Do you know about every member of the family you see on census records, for example?)

  • Have you analyzed your family's neighbors?

  • Have you read the local history of the areas in which your family lived?

  • Have you read regional history of the areas in which your family lived?

  • Have you looked at the geography of where your family lived?

  • Have you considered economics?

  • Have you looked at the migration trails near where your family settled?

  • Have you considered chain migration?

  • Have you looked at boundary changes?

  • Have you traced the person's life as far as you can?

  • Have you started with the most recent events and moved backwards?
