    My mother's family came from County Mayo in Connacht, where the O'Conchobhair/O'Connor family come from, but we don't know of any O'Connors in her family.
    We always assumed my father's family name, Conner, evolved from O'Connor-but we were surprised to learn that Conner is actually a British/Scottish name with no direct relationship to the O'Connor name from the Connacht region of Ireland!

    • @DavidMichaelCommer
      @DavidMichaelCommer Рік тому

      @Whip it Thanks...oddly, it turns out my father's family name Conner is actually a Scottish or Northern English occupational name entirely unrelated to O'Conor! My mom's Irish family don't have any O'Conors among them, although they come from Connacht.

    "Sligeach means Shelley." Does anyone know the correct spelling of the Shelley to which the Behon Academy refers? I ask because my famine immigrant great-grandfather was Micheal Shelley and he came to the US from Connacht with his brother or cousin, Peter Shelley. My father's Irish DNA substantiates this by landing him firmly in Connacht. Other paternal surnames are Kilkelly (Galway), Cannon, Ryder, Dillon, and Lynch. As noted above, my classic famine immigrant Michael Shelley came from Connacht (ostensibly Mayo or Roscommon), and not from Munster (which seems to have many more Shelley/Shelly surnames in the Kilkenny and Cashel area. Any insights? Many thanks in advance.

      Lots of People called Hart and Harte in Sligo. Same name but the spelling gets changed along the line. It’s very common in Sligo. In Irish the name has an “o” in front of it. I don’t know anybody who uses the “o” in the English version of their name here.

John Comyn, was one of the guardians of the Scotland throne and was murdered by Robert the Bruce (his fellow guardian who spawned the Stewert line once he took the throne) when he was confronted about his treasonous behavior. Comyns threatened him with going to the King with what he was doing. The rest of the clan either died rising up against Robert the Bruce or fled the country.

      @@missfoxglove8989 I'm still confused about how the name appears in both Scotland and Ireland. I had always assumed he came from Scotland until my uncle (his grandson) told me he came from Ireland and changed the name from O'Comain to Cummings. I've seen both versions of the name in Ireland and was told one was just an Anglicized version of the other. I only new him by Cummings. I wonder if that part of the clan went to Ireland after the whole "Robert the Bruce" thing? I know the Comyn clan held many castles in Scotland that were torn down after their defeat, but so far it's been difficult to learn anything about them in Ireland.
