      Scottish Mainland - Celtic / Pictish;

      Meaning and Early Occurrences of the Name - A place name found as Berkeley in Gloustershire England, but seen as early as the twelfth century in Lanark, Scotland. There is circumstantial evidence that the De Berkley family was among the Normans who arrived in England in 1066. The surname was seen in Shetland as early as 1597, and was also used as a patronymic;

      Traditions:
      Neither of these two relate to the present family of this name. John BARCLAY of Newtown of Kinespock, Clatt in Aberdeenshire registered his son James (born 1745) in school in Aberdeen. Ultimately in the early 1770s James came to Unst in Shetland to be a tutor to the Sanderson family, returned to the Mainland to study for the Ministry, and subsequently, about 1775, became assistant to Rev. William Archibald (whose daughter, Ursula, James married in 1775), their son John Barclay, born 1778, Unist, married Andrina Charlotte Spence;

      Earliest Known Paternal Ancestor:
      John BARCLAY, born 1778, Unst, married to Andrina Charlotte SPENCE, and son of the above Rev. James BARCLAY and Ursula ARCHIBALD;

      DNA Matches:
      The YHRD has 54 matches scattered from Spain to Hungary. There are 73 matches within the FTDNA custormer database. An inspection of the Haplogroup Database again has matches that extend the length of Western Europe, but customer database 23/25 and 24/25 matches appear to tilt things toward a likely Celtic origin (e.g., names like Stirling, Campbell, Anderson, MacDonald, and Forbes;

      Comments:
      The match profile, plus being R1b1c, is consistent with others who appear to be of Celtic / Pictish ancestry.
