Septs
| What is a Sept ? |
| |
| A Sept is a family
name which can be related to a clan or a |
| larger family for
various reasons - either by marriage |
| or seeking protection
from a larger or a more powerful |
| clan or family. Many
recorded Sept names have since |
| become clans in their own right
and many may be |
| related to more than one clan. |
