It would be very difficult, perhaps impossible, to tell with certainty that you had Pictish ancestry. This is because the Picts merged with the Gaels around the 10th century to form the Kingdom of Alba, which later expanded to become Scotland. Records of individual families do not usually go back that far.

So the best you can do is probably to research your ancestry, generation by generation, to see if any ancestors came from the area that was once inhabited mainly by Picts. Even then, however, you can't tell for certain if they were Picts.
