Morris:

Congratulations, you are a "Double Lamont"!

My Lamont connection is through my father's family, my mom's mother's maiden name was Brown, they are Scottish, but I haven't been able to connect them to the Lamonts (yet).

I am a "Double Campbell" I'm sure this will bring a ton of wrath down on me.

Can anyone else claim a double connection to Clan Lamont or any other clan?

Jim …your either well balanced or you have a split personality .

Hi Morris

Have a look at

http://www.mcleman.org/mcleman.htm

I found it quite difficult to navigate the site but I did come across a ceremonial photograph or two in which the Lamont tartan is worn. Then of course there's the song written by Tommy Makeham about a pub crawl, which goes something like this

"There was Johnny MacIldoo and McGie and me
and a couple or two or three went on a spree one day
We had a bob or two which we knew how to blew
...
We visited McCann's, McLemans, Dirty Dan's... "

Amusingly, it was these lyrics that prompted me to do a Google search for McLeman.

Thanks Sandy

I checked it out; they have quite a large family tree. I haven’t found and direct connection yet.

This is interesting. We will need to look into this name for inclusion.
