So I got married. My new last name is McNeill. The process of changing your name is actually quite the hassle. For those of us who work during the day, it’s almost impossible…unless you are willing to use your day off to take care of real biz. I’m in the process of changing my name. I’m in limbo really. Some people are calling me Christi McNeill and some Christi Day. It’s like I have two identities. I love my maiden name, but for some strange reason I always wanted to be a Mc or an O’ something. Mission accomplished.
My next step is to do an immense amount of research to learn all I can about my new last name. Therefore, I’ve proposed to Ryan that we need a trip to Scotland. Wikipedia can only offer me so much. I need to learn the real roots of McNeill, and tour the castles, and drink their beer.
I’m thinking of a late fall trip. This will be our first jaunt international. My first stamp in my passport! We’ll see if it happens, until then…I can keep researching right?
So… did you take that Scottish trip? Find your ancestry?
