    I am a descendent of the clan family on my paternal grandmother's side. Our branch moved to Canada and got involved in the fur trade. Alexander has one of the world's longest rivers named after him. Roderick founded the first European settlement in what is now Alberta. Donald has a river in Oregon named after him, and was the Hudson's Bay Company's Chief Factor. Henry founded the first industrial complex in Quebec, part of a 32,000 acre estate.
    I believe it was my direct ancestor, the Tutor of Kintail, who dealt with the McLeods. From what I have read, he was not a very nice man.

    I see a lot of ppl here are descendants of Mackenzie’s and/or Scottish descent. My surname is seaforth, father’s family come from Guyana. Been doing a lot of research on my surname and ancestry..it’s been brought to my attention my surname goes back to Scotland amongst others. When it comes to genealogy I keep getting hits on the Mackenzie clan and the Earl of Seaforth. Due to migration and European colonization I’m aware Scotland had its own involvement in the Caribbean & Guyana. I often wonder if somewhere down the line of my lineage there’s Scottish roots or..? (Anyone who’s Scottish pls feel free to reply. Respectful comments only)

      By Mackenzie Greed! For you sown your Seeds, of the Highlands Destruction! For it was the Mackenzie's, who's Chief was the War Masters of Scotland, the Chiefs of the Great Clan Ross, the Earls of Ross, 1st which being Fearchar the Son of the Priest... Evil Twin! And the Chief of the Mackenzie's claim to fame was coming from a Blood Line of the Earls of Ross! And our Evil Twins Greed, and your Masters, began the Downfall of the Old Heart and Blood of the Highlands, Ross! And as it should of been all to obvious to see, by the Centuries of nipping at our heels, you up and stabbed us in the Back for the English Crown, for the Stuart Kings, who's Blood Line began with a Queen Ross (at least for the Stuarts at that time period), and sealed the Scottish Fate, and paved the way for 2 Highland Clearances, and it is those Clearances is why you are in Australia, Clearances your own people helped start! Now after the Fall of Ross! By the back stabbing of us by the Mackenzies!!! All Ross' that could not prove their Pedigree by Paperwork became Mackenzie (the Sheer Horror) will still carrying Ross Blood! As with any of the Septs that could not prove their Pedigree in Paperwork as well (for concerned parties), and all Septs of Clan Ross are the descendants of the Gentry of the Great Clan Ross. But as a Mackenzie you really have no clue who you are, people were subjugated and forced to take on the surname, and thus all history or knowledge of who you really are taken from you, and nothing more than a Mackenzie is what you are now....

The Son of the Priest, from a Bloodline of Ancient Kings! And than becoming a Mackenzie! Just some random assortment of people all forced to take on the same last name! Sad :( really... I feel sorry for you, because with a name like Mackenzie, it just means you don't truly know who you are, just how they wanted it!
