Hi there, I'm not sure of the accenting or pronunciation but the word for family is clann and my is mo or
I don't know about declination yet, so better wait for an expert!

My guess is mo clann

And now, just to totally confuse Moireach .... :wink:

MO CHLANN

Mo = my

Clann = family

But because it's genitive (possessive) clann becomes chlann.

Mó - can mean 'amount' or 'bigger' (once again - the difference that little fada makes!) :D
