Welcome
to the wonderful world of the Clan McClelland. I receive many e-mail messages
asking about the family name and many McClelland's wonder if we might be
related. Well we may be, but it most likely goes back a long way.
As any proud McClelland knows,
the family name is pretty ancient and originates from the MacLellan clan
in bonnie Scotland... which traces it's roots from various relationships
to Saint Fhaolain, a high born son of St. Kentigerna and Ferdach, King of
Dalriada in Ireland. There are many variations on the spelling too - anything
from my own McClelland, to M'Kilikin, Makellane, M'lleolan and Gillephillane.
Now, I'm no historian, but I
do have an interest in the family name and there are many resources available
on the internet for anyone wanting to find out more.
The links I have
collected here are a starting point. Web search engines will lead you to
many more. If you are a McClelland and want to be added to these listings,
let me know. And please tell me if you find any good sites I might have
missed. The address is Webmaster@McClellandMedia.com
