A major goal was to find markers for those leaders, descendants
of the Clan founder, Somerled (ca. 1117-1164). We have succeeded in this. We also wished to
find markers for those groups for men who are not male line descendants of Somerled. In
this was have in general failed, as the Clan grew very rapidly at first by accretion of
of the Clan founder, Somerled (ca. 1117-1164). We have succeeded in this. We also wished to
find markers for those groups for men who are not male line descendants of Somerled. In
this was have in general failed, as the Clan grew very rapidly at first by accretion of
random families, such as those of mercenaries employed in the many Clan battles.
