Well, as you can see my last name is "Bruce" my grandfather told me that the name came from Scotland. And I was just woundering if you could please help me understand more of Robert de Bruce. -thanks! I was just reading your website, one of the many that talks about Robert de Bruce.

If you gotten your research back as far as Scotland? That should be your first step.

I found your site a few weeks ago and have thoroughly enjoyed reading your articles. Thanks! Also, if you have any information regarding clan relationships (who was feuding with who, why, etc), I think that type of content would be very interesting to include.

My wife and I visited Scotland in 2005, and were impressed by it's stark open landscapes, animal agriculture, and rich history. I have recently begun some general inquire into our family history. It appears that our first traceable ansestor is George McDwell who immagrated to the colonies in the mid 1700's. Probably as a result of the purge of the Higlanders after Bonnie Prince Charlies defeat in 1745. I believe that our McDowell/MacDougal roots are with the older branch from the Galloway region. However, the Argyllshire branch is the most traceable. How would I begin to confirm which branch our heritage is derived from? Thank you for your time, and excuse my inexperience in this field.
