THE DEEPER ANCESTRY
There are family legends and clan legends, and there is also deliberate misinformation about Grierson origins. Are we MacGregors? Are we Irish? How do we take the next step in identifying our forefathers? The answer may well be in recent advances in the study of DNA, as passed from father to son. Ruminations about our ancestry [by David Grierson (John(6)] can be found at the DNA link.
