Super_Steve_Howey 0 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I like things like this. My maiden name- O'Callaghan Irish name says family is descended from Ceallachan, the 10th century king of Munster. First found here where we were seated from very ancinet times! My married surname, Loram. English-First found in Bedfordshire where they were anciently seated as Lords of the Manor!! (hubby will find that funny as his mates call him Lordy Loram at the moment cos of where we now live) Scottish-Says Scotland is the homeland of the noble surname of Loram. Originally the Loram family lived in the French province of Lorraine, before moving to Scotland. Then underneath it says, first found in Northumberland where they were anciently seated as Lords of the Manor of Kirk Hall some say, from the time of the Norman conquest. What i do know is some members of the Loram family recently did trace their ancesters and went back as far as 1700's and they had only moved from Brixham in Devon to Ideford in Devon which isnt far! Has anybody got the link to that site where you can put your surname in and it shows on a map where the family lived? (taken from the census records) I did have it but cant find it now, it was posted on here. http://www.spatial-literacy.org/UCLnames/Surnames.aspx mine was a load of bollocks imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 It's weird though isn't it. Although you think your surname relates to your origins, it will most likely (unless you're 5th generation pit village or from the upper classes) only account for an incredibly small amount of your ancestry.

Guest alex Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Aye, that's the one I was on about too. If my name's Scottish it's a bit odd there were no instances of it in Scotland in 1881 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wez 0 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The history of the name mcnamee dates back to a time before Irish names were translated into English. The original Gaelic form of mcnamee was Mac Conmidhe, which means hound of Meath. Spelling variations of this family name include: McNamee, McNanamy, McNammee, McName, McNanny and others. First found in county Westmeath where they held a family seat from ancient times. Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: John McName arrived in Philadelphia in 1838; Bernard, Charles, Francis, Hugh, James, John, Michael, Patrick, Thomas, McNamee all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860. kool:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
