Caithness / Re: McKean descendants of Clan Gunn
« on: Friday 03 September 21 20:52 BST (UK)  »
Makes me wonder if maybe they are Clan MacIain instead, since they are closer to Argyll (which my own paternal line -- my maiden name is McKeen -- descends from). I really hope that's not the case though, because my husband got 'Aut Pax Aut Bellum' tattooed on his arm years ago, lol. I don't want to make him regret it.

The oral history passed down in the family was that they were from Clan Gunn though, so I'll have to do some more digging.

Argyllshire / MacIain (MacDonald) of Ardnamurchan
« on: Friday 03 September 21 17:25 BST (UK)  »
I'm researching my paternal line to Clan MacIain of Ardnamurchan. I can get back to William MacKean, born abt. 1615 in Ardnamurchan. Does anyone know who his parents were or how to connect him to Clan Donald?

Caithness / McKean descendants of Clan Gunn

I'm researching my husbands paternal line. He is a McKean. His family came from Clan Gunn in Caithness and eventually were in Glasgow before heading to Canada.

Does anyone have any info or resources on the McKeans that came form Clan Gunn?
