Hi, I have been doing a tree for my Husband and his father who are "Carrethers".
Im having a hard time getting past my husbands GG Grandfather. I cant find a first name
for him and Im not sure if his name was changed. All I know is that once upon a time they
were from Scotland and septs of the Bruce clan. At first they all thought that they WERE
Bruces, till I did a bit of research and found that the "Carruthers" were just
septs of them. Im beginning to get frustrated and Im not sure what to do to help them
figure out their history. They had a friend do research a long time ago and that's
where they got the idea of BEING Bruces, which makes me afraid that this friend could have
been wrong about a lot more. Anyone have any advice or anything? Its so hard when they
have a name that changes. I love my name, it never changed in history, lol. Made it
easier.
