Keith clan

[Blondie992]

Anybody having a doc or a link to a good resource on the Keith clan from Scotland? There's a circular reference in the area 1200-1400 that needs to be sorted out

I wonder why there are no answers... And yet there are so many families in Finland, too, who have ancestors amongst the Scottish clans. They are, for the most part, descendants of the Rosses and/or Keiths who worked as soldiers and merchants in Sweden and Finland in the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries. You can find plenty of information simply on the Swedish Wikipedia (sv.wikipedia.org). About the Scottish clans in general (also Keith of course) e.g.: www.scotclans.com (http://www.scotclans.com) or: www.electricscotland.com/webclans/families/keiths.htm (http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/families/keiths.htm).
But the very wisest thing to do is to read first a good trustworthy article in Finnish: www.genealogia.fi/genos/63/63_12.htm (http://www.genealogia.fi/genos/63/63_12.htm) (because there are and have always been so many different families in Scotland by this same name; it´s a real mess).
