[edit] Pettigrew's ancestry
Time and time again I read of the Pettigrew name being of huegenot origin.This is inaccurate the name is Scottish, check out Sir thomas Pettigrew lord lyon of Scotland 1520, branches of the family were in France but were not of huegenot origin.The name is of Pictish origin, hence the many pett and pit place names in Scotland, Pettinain, Pettycur etc, it would appear our American cousins are trying to rewrite our origin, just as they do with Hollywood. ROY URQUHART PETTIGREW
- I added a citation for his background. I don't know that you can say that since many Pettigrews came from Scotland, that means that all of them must have. If you can provide a secondary source citation for an alternative background of this particular individual, be my guest. Hal Jespersen 22:15, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
