INITIATION INTO THE CLAN

1 WHO WAS JOHNNY AT THE CHURCH?
2 THE KISSING OF THE BAG PIPES
3 THE SACRED THIMBLE

Submitter comment: THIS FAMILY TRADITION GOES BACK AS FAR AS THE FAMILY
COMING OVER FROM NOVA SCOTIA ONLY PEOPLE WHO MARRY INTO THE CLAN
OR GOOD FRIENDS HAVE TO BE INITATED
THIS HAPPENS AT EACH REUNION IN SUMMER
THE CLAN IS THE ANGUS MACK CLAN
SCOTCH AND IRISH ARE THE BACKGROUND
