  "GREGORY did not originate in Scotland - Please be aware that this line of GREGORY did NOT originate in Scotland despite what others have published including 'Cal's Column' including having no direct connection to the Macgregor's. I am a direct male descendant (Y-dna) of Thomas Gregory and my DNA has been analysed and the results scientifically prove that this branch comes from England and before that probably Frisia or Saxony.  If you would like further evidence of this please contact me and I will assist you."
