...My lower legs are no longer hairy...

LOL Vic! You realize that now we are all imagining you shaving your legs with a pink plastic razor in a tub full of bubbles.

No I don't do that, it happened all on its own, that would be too much work...

There's no English Restaurants in the US because you don't understand us or our sense of humour.

[snip]
It's a symptom I've read of heart disease that I inherited from My Mothers side(like thick toe nails) of the family and no I don't shave My legs, heck I have a beard nearly 2" thick.. My Brother had the same problem, so it's not a laughing matter...

Ay, did notice that regarding his avatar yet tartan searches for Mcleod seem to
want to direct you to Macleod. No doubt though John will explain the difference
in names.


Mcleod of Lewis tartan.

It depends on where you where when people started formalizing spelling rules. McLeod, MacLeod, McCloud, and MacCloud are all the same clan. The latter two involved being someplace where English was more commonly spoken that Gaelic when the spelling of your last name was formalized. The chief of the clan spells his last name MacLeod. We really don't know which part of the McLeod terrority our family came from as the earliest we can track back is on the wrong side of Scotland, and not near any McLeod teritory at all. The most likely place seems to be Ardvrek castle even though that is highly speculative.

Well that beats 1770 Wexford Ireland.

Unfortunately, we cannot trace back solidy much earlier than 1800 on that line. We have verbal family history that the first name is remembering a great hero, and that prior to the first, there was a history of alternating John and George. There is a story in the history of Scotland from the begining of the clearances about a John McLeod at Ardvrek castle who succeeded in holding out for 40 days while the chief of the castle went out to try to find enough money to hold off the collectors. Possible link? Yes. Confirmed link? No. Since we found the family on mainland Scotland instead of the isles, and obviously in careers as landsmen, the link to the isles seems tenuous.

One thin line on my mothers side goes back to about 1100.
