Oh yes, and for Scottish names beginning with Mc it could also be Mac - but most of the search engines will match on both for you anyway.Comment

Up until then it was just me ....plodding along doing my thing in my way, where I came from had some relevance but only to the point of repeating anecdotes I'd heard from the family.
Little Bear coming along made me think about these things, you see traits from yourself or your parents in him and it starts you thinking a bit more.
Also I want him to feel part of a family and so I would like to be able to tell him the history of such.
In short - it's made me more sentimental!Si posse, recte, si non, quocumque modo remComment
