Im wondering thats all
How many peoples last name is clark and family roots irish?
Lots.
You can't get any closer than that. Sorry.
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/...
has about 3,000 entries with surname Clark and birthplace "Ireland" but
1) Some are duplicates
2) Not everyone adds "Ireland" to the birth place if, for instance, it says "Ulster" or "Dublin" or "Cork"
3) Not all people born there are on the data base
Reply:Clark is not a specifically Irish surname.
O'Cleirigh meant "grandson of the scribe" in Irish Gaelic. The surname Cleary came from Cleireach of Connacht, who was born around 829 A.D. Clerk/Clark is the oldest true surname recorded anywhere in Europe. The Irish branch, of this family group, settled in Derry and Donegal, Ireland; where they became famous poets. In Cavan, Ireland, the name was anglized as Clarke.
http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/polcrt/Clar...
This long-established surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is from a medieval occupational name for a scribe or secretary, or for a member of a minor religious order. The word "clerc", from the Olde English pre 7th Century "cler(e)c", priest, originally denoted a member of a religious order only, but since the clergy of minor orders were allowed to marry and so found families, the surname could become established. It should also be noted that during the Middle Ages virtually the only people who were able to read and write were members of religious orders and it was therefore natural that the term "clark" or "clerk" would come to be used of any literate man, particularly the professional secretary and the scholar. One Richerius Clericus, Hampshire, appears in the Domesday Book of 1086. The surname was first recorded in the early 12th Century (see below), and other early recordings include: Reginald Clerc, noted in the Curia Regis Rolls of Rutland (1205), and John le Clerk, registered in the "Transcripts of Charters relating to the Gilbertine Houses", Lincolnshire (1272). In the modern idiom the surname can be found as Clark, Clarke, Clerk and Clerke. Richard Clarke was noted as a passenger on the "Mayflower" bound for the New World in 1620. Lawrence Clark, together with his wife, Margaret, and son, Thomas, were famine emigrants who sailed from Liverpool aboard the "Shenandoah", bound for New York in March 1846. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Willelm le Clerec, which was dated 1100, in "The Old English Byname Register of Somerset", during the reign of King Henry 1, known as "The Lion of Justice", 1100 - 1135.

McQuerry Name Meaning and History
Irish or Scottish: variant of McQuarrie.
McQuarrie Name Meaning and History
Scottish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Guaire, a patronymic from a Gaelic personal name meaning ‘proud’, ‘noble’.
Surname: Mcquarrie
This interesting and unusual name is of Scottish origin and is the patronymic form of an Old Gaelic personal name "Guaire", the "mac", denoting "the son of". The derivation of this personal name is from the early Gaelic "gaurio-s", which is akin to the Greek "gauros", both having the identical meaning, noble or proud. In the Isle of Man the name has become Quarry, and in Ireland, Gorey. In the modern idiom, the variants include MacQuarrey, MacQuarie, and MacWharrie. One John M'Quarrie, from Lagan was denounced a rebel in 1674 and in Barony, Lanarkshire on September 10th 1797 one, Amelia McQuarrig married James McCalluna. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John M'Goyre, (witness), which was dated 1463, Ross, Scotland, during the reign of King James III of Scotland, 1460 - 1488. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Reply:Lass, McQuerry is a variation of Macquarrie, the clan having originated on the island of Ulva in the Inner Hebrides. The first documentation of the name occurred after the death of a John Macquarrie in 1473. The Gaelic version of Macquarrie is McGuire, which admittedly sounds Irish, but the McQuerrys/ Macquarries are very much a Scottish clan.
My great-grandmother, Minerva Jane McQuerry (1867-1953) was a descendant of a John Macquarrie who was transported to the American colonies as an indentured servant after he was captured following the Battle of Cullodeen. After being indentured to a Wilhelm Stout, he married Stout's daughter, Miranda.

In reference to your "Black Dutch" ancestry, this was on wikipedia--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dutch
According to researcher James Pylant, based on his extensive survey of American families claiming Black Dutch as part of their heritage:
"There are strong indications that the original "Black Dutch" were swarthy complexioned Germans. Anglo-Americans loosely applied the term to any dark-complexioned American of European descent. The term was adopted as an attempt to disguise Indian or infrequently, tri-racial descent. By the mid-1800s the term had become an American colloquialism; a derogative term for anything denoting one's small stature, dark coloring, working-class status, political sentiments, or anyone of foreign extract.
Native Americans, mainly Cherokee, created a false, "Black Dutch" heritage to purchase land. This occurred often after the Trail of Tears,mainly in Oklahoma. The Cherokee would not admit to their actual heritage for fear the land would be taken away from them. In fact, many people born even in the early 20th century claimed Black Dutch heritage for this reason."
http://www.nativepeoples.com/article/art...
In his search for the elusive "Black Dutch" in his own family, writer Jimmy H. Crane says in this article, published
January 10, 2006, "Many people who now live and have roots in northeast Mississippi, north Alabama, south Tennessee and other parts of the South are descendants of the “Black Dutch.”Both sides of my family’s characteristics range from dark hair, dark eyes and olive skin, to red hair, blue eyes and fair skin. It was not until June 1995 at the Iuka, Mississippi Heritage Day Festival that I really went into high gear and got into a serious search for the Black Dutch. Surnames with Black Dutch heritage that have been collected to date are all English names. What was recognized was that true Dutch names would be similar to German spellings and pronunciations. Names like Brown, Butler, Mayhall, Johnson, Tiffin and Massey for example somehow did not sound like Dutch or German. But these were names with Black Dutch lineage.
Here’s another notch to the handle: almost every time that Black Dutch was found, Indian lineage was found, and to date, a high percentage of association in the Iuka, Tishomingo, Itawamba areas has been established with the Cherokee. A representative of the Eagle Bear Clan of the Free Cherokees said that her grandmother told her that her family escaped the Trail of Tears. They were forced to hide in caves and become known as Black Dutch to hide their identity. In a telephone conversation, I was told that other tribes besides the Cherokee also used the Black Dutch term, including the Chickasaws and the Choctaw. I believe the Creek descendants could have also used the term.
Some people were "mistaken” for an Indian" when they migrated to Oklahoma in the late 1800's. Census rolls in the Moulton, Alabama area in the late 1800’s show a family name listed as white; then ten years latter as Black Dutch; and then ten years latter as Cherokee. The elusive question is, when did the term Black Dutch arise? A strong probability is after 1830, when the forced removal of the Cherokees from their homeland began. It is understandable that the Cherokee, Chickasaw and others who remained behind had to come up with a cover-up in order to survive. No choice but to go underground, to become “white” in order to own land, keep their homes and survive, denying their Indian identity simply because it was the safest thing to do at the time. There is little doubt in my mind that many of the people who claim the Black Dutch or Black Irish descent are actually more of Native American descent that they really know.
Before the Indian Removal Act in 1830, many Cherokee people were already mixed with white settlers , denied their ancestry and basically lived much of their lives in fear of being sent West. Full bloods claimed to be Black Irish or Black Dutch, thus denying their rightful Indian blood. After being fully assimilated into the general population years later, these Irish Cherokee mixed blood descendants began reclaiming their Indian heritage. "
(So, have you thought you might have Native American ancestry, too??)

I understand, not necessarily. For instance if a person's names is O'Connor. It means descendant of Connor but there were more than one Connor that had descendants.
Its like the English name Johnson. It means son of John and you can imagine how many men named John whose sons became Johnson.

Say you are an African-American, and your influenced with everything about Ireland. And you call yourself Black Irish but there is one problem, Black Irish is taken for something else. So you have to use something else as an ego, using Black and Irish. An alter ego in general like a wrestler or a pen pal name for books.

What is the name for the typical Irish face / skull shape?
A guy I met from Ireland at a pub was telling me that our face shapes were typical Irish, and he said a name for it, but I can't rememebr it.
Does anyone know? I have a long, thin face with high cheekbones.
Thanks
What is the name for the typical Irish face / skull shape?
Irish people tend to be 'long headed' with a skull longer than wide.This type used to be called Mediterranean and first came in with Ireland's first settlers from Iberia about 8000 years ago.You don't necessarily have to have a long face with it but high cheekbones are pretty common and the chin is often prominent but narrow (not a big wide jaw but tapering to a noticeable rounded end.)

Siobhan is one of the prettiest Irish names - albeit getting more popular, I believe.

There are a billion to choose from!!

Is Kylie an Irish name and if so how is it spelt in Gaelic?
For the benefit of those here who are trying to bluff their way about Irish Gaelic:
(1) Neither Kelly nor Kyle are original Irish Christian names, and owe more to the invention of Americans. Kelly has an Irish origin - as a surname.
(2) Kyleigh could not be the Irish for anything because there is no K or Y in the Irish Gaelic alphabet.
The nearest Irish word to the Kylie sound is "Cailleach" and that can mean an old hag, a witch or a prostitute. You think that's a good name to use referring to Irish sources?
Is Kylie an Irish name and if so how is it spelt in Gaelic?
Kylie is Australian. It comes from the aboriginal word for boomarang..
Kyleigh would be the Irish spelling of it, meaning narrow land.
Reply:It will come back to me in a minute!!!!
Means "boomerang" in an Australian Aboriginal language.
It could also be a variation of KELLY or KYLE
Reply:the gaildhig equivalent is: Caileag, which means: girl

How to spell the name Joe in Irish and Italian? Please and Thank You-Brandy?
The full name, Joseph, is "Giuseppe" (pronounce: "joo-sep-peh") in Italian, often shortened to "Beppo"
In Irish it's "Si贸samh" (pron. "shaw-suh" (northern), the shortened version would be the English "Joe"
How to spell the name Joe in Irish and Italian? Please and Thank You-Brandy?
If you wanted to get an Italian to pronounce Joe very close to how it's pronounced in English, you would have to spell it "Gi貌" with that grave accent on the O.
Otherwise, as the others have said, Joe (Joseph) is "Giuseppe" in Italian.
Reply:hello dear Brandy, I'm Italian!!! Here Joe means GIUSEPPE (also translated as Joseph) and we spell it as you do
J - O
when you prononce JOseph, JO is the spell of JOe!!!

Reply:In italian alphabet J doesn't exist, but you can pronounce it

It is sad to see mind bender get a thumbs down on his reply, when his is the ONLY reply that is based on common sense, and reality.
Where your surname comes from is NOT ANY indicator of where your ANCESTORS came from, or didn't come from. I will mention immediately... your great grandmother is not the person from who you get your surname. Your surname comes through your father, his father, his father, his father. ANY of your great grandmothers (never mind their actual ethnicity or ancestry) will not be the source for your surname. The only time you might have taken the surname from a maternal line, is if perhaps you were born out of wedlock, and mom gave you her name.
There is absolutely no disrespect intended here. Your goal is your own ancestry, and their origin. For the majority of African Americans, it is a simple fact that they will not have had any surname at all, prior to the civil war, unless they were among the small minority of freemen. Following emancipation, former slaves adopted surnames, often from the families that were the prior owner, sometimes not.
Thus.. if your great great GRANDFATHER, happened to be Black, and took the McNeely name, it would not mean his ancestors came from Ireland at all. The SURNAME could have originated in Ireland (probably well before there even was any settlement in America). If one of your gr grandmothers has Irish heritage.. that would be through her family, and may be from EITHER her father or perhaps her mother.
Anyone who sits here and goes on about if McNeely is Irish or Scottish, etc, completely failed to think through how names get passed down. You have not identified your FATHER'S lineage, which is where the name comes to you. The question is whether he is African American, or also happens to have Caucasian heritage, via the McNeely name. If your father's ancestry through his paternal line works back to Ireland, then your McNeely ancestry is Irish. You would want to identify the specific person named McNeely who was the immigrant. The same would be true for the gr grandmother who you believe is Irish.. but her surname will be something different.

As far as being "mostly african american", that really has no necessary bearing on surname. Go back just 8 generations and you likely have 256 DIFFERENT surnames in your family. The one you carry is likely because it was your father's surname. Even if this particular line that drives the surname were African American, and traces back to slavery, it is more likely than not that the surname was adopted around 1870 just after the civil war. In the United States by a former slave. If it were from another line, it could have strong historical consistency, could have been "made up" upon immigration, or could have been changed for any number of reasons over the generations.
You really can't tell anything from a surname, except that even if only considering 8 generations, the surname you have is just one of 256 associated with your ancestry.

Say you are an African-American, and your influenced with everything about Ireland. And you call yourself Black Irish but there is one problem, Black Irish is taken for something else for Ireland description. So you have to use something else as an ego, using Black and Irish.

the soundtrack is highly edited and doesn't have the songs you wanted.

that song that you heard at around 1:10minutes on the dvd when the irish immigrants were at one moment getting off the boat and the next moment signing up for the army, the song is called "paddy's lamentation". it is also called "by the hush". it is a song composed by an anonymous person, and is considered a traditional irish song. in "gangs of new york" the song is sung by sinead o'connor.

"Well it's by the hush me boys and sure that's to hold your noise
Listen to poor Paddy's sad narration
Well I was by hunger pressed and in poverty distressed
So I took a thought, I'd leave the Irish nation
Well I sold me horse and cow, me little pig and sow
Me little plot of land I sold to part with
And me sweetheart Bid McGee, I'm afraid I'll never see
For I left her there that morning broken-hearted
Chorus:
Here's you boys, now take my advice
To America I'll have you not be comming
There is nothing here but war
Where the murdering cannons roar
And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin
Well, meself and a hundred more to Americay sailed o'er
Our fortune to be made, oh we were thinking
When we got to Yankee-land, they shoved a gun into our hands
Saying "Paddy, you must go and fight for Lincoln"
Chorus
General Meaghar to us he said "If you get shot or lose your head
Each murdering son of yours will get a pension"
Well, myself I lost me leg, they gave me a wooden peg
And by God this is the truth to you I mention
Chorus
When I think myself in luck, I get fed on Indian buck
And Ireland is the country I delight in
With the devil I did say, it's curse Americay
For I think I've had enough of your hard fighting

Reply:Catholic no, irish yes and more specifically Gaelic. Means sea/ocean warrior or something like it, in Gaelic.

What are the origins of the surname Murphy?Isn't it an Irish Catholic name?
I know lots of decent "proddies" with the surname Murphy (not so many Tims though...decent ones I mean!)....doesn't really prove anything.
Reply:Catholic no, irish yes and more specifically Gaelic. Means sea/ocean warrior or something like it, in Gaelic. Later predominately identified with Irish Catholics due to sheer number of catholics in the irish population, thus it is far more difficult to find a Murphy who is not a Catholic than one who is, in Ireland ... and indeed this is the association you may have found ... help at all?
Reply:Yes, it's an anglicisation of the Irish name 脫 Murchadha. It's not necessarily a Catholic name.
Reply:it is indeed an irish name but there aint such a thing as a catholic name only names.and my understanding is it is a common name of irish protestants (true)
Reply:To be sure to be sure, it certainly is
Reply:As indeed the name Lenny is also.
Reply:yes
Reply:It is also a THICK Irish stout Bob, I'll have a Murphy's please.
So that explains it he is a THICK IRISH non Catholic with brains like your shi te after a night on the Murphy's.

What is the ancestry is the last name Cardell? Irish or spanish?
Close but not plumb. The Scots are not Irish and the Catalans are not Spanish:
Cardell Name Meaning and History
Probably a reduced form of Irish and Scottish McArdle.
Catalan or Asturian-Leonese: probably a topographic from a diminutive of card 鈥榯histle鈥?(Latin cardus), or, less likely, a habitational name from a place so named in Asturies.
Possibly an altered form of Italian Cardelli or Cardello.
Perhaps an Americanized spelling of German Kardel (see Kardell).

mischa is quite nice, but gotta think of the christian name and surname together.......could get teased a bit. and to the person who said its a black name thats ridiculous, mischa barton is as white as u can get! and anyway, my name is common for black women and i love it. sory off point - no to daithi, maybe to mischa.

Reply:I love the name. Will he grow up in Ireland? He'll come across problems if he doesn't... I know some people find that a huge issue. Personally, I don't think it's particularly difficult to tell someone how to say your name, or to make a tiny correction.
I found it hard picking a name, too. The middle names I have no problems with. Family members :o) perhaps you could use a family name or the name of a close friend for the middle?
Edit: Lovely :o) ha, I really do love that name. My closest friend is called Daithi. I think I've only ever known one other, and that was years ago. It's pretty uncommon, which is always a good thing.
Reply:Honestly I don't care for the name. But It is your child and you and you alone have the right to name your baby whatever you want. I do think he would be picked on my suggestion to you would to name him Moran Daithi, that way you are still incorporating his heritage to him.
Reply:i love Mischa for a girl, and i like that name for a boy, my little cousin is irish and he has the name Kieran David i personally think that name is adorable.=] good luck!
Reply:Love it, because it's unique and Mischa. You should definitely pick a second name because that's important.
Reply:He might survive it if he always lives in Ireland but it wouldn't go down very well anywhere else. It's so hard to say as well.

Why the rerun? This is almost the same exact question you asked a few weeks back...and since voters picked the best answer, it makes me wonder if you even read the replies you got the first time around.
The answer is that you will not know if your ancestors fought the British (or anyone) unless you trace your ancestry.
Reply:My surname is Flanagan, also Irish, meaning "red" or "ruddy"...I have been trying to find out more about my geneaology as well. I think it is possible your ancestors fought the British, they were enemies for a very long time.

I want to spell my name the Irish way?
My name is Owen. Owen is getting really common so I'd like to start spelling my name the Irish way, either Eoin or Eoghan. Eoghan means "of the yew tree" and Eoin is a form of John. Both are pronounced the same way, Owen. Which do you like better?
I want to spell my name the Irish way?
people are gonna sound it out and you'll constantly get called OIN.

Reply:Eoghan definitely
Reply:Eoghan!! thats soooo cool, i love that spelling!
Reply:I like Owen best because
Eoghan reminds me of that guy from the X Factor
Eoin looks too much like Ian
Owen is fine, just because you change the spelling, doesn't mean that your name is unique. It is still owen where it is spelled Owen, Eoghan or Eoin

lol
Is Obama and Irish name like Osullivan or Oreilly?
No, it's Kenyan. Although apparently his mother had some Irish family...not sure about where. The Irish papers made a big deal about it. Not really surprising - most Americans are very mixed and there is a lot of irish ancestry in the population.
Reply:Obama is probably African but Barrak I am not sure.
In Waterford they have Barrack Street I wonder will they rename it to "Barrack Obama Street" to get some publicity if he wins. ... and then say that he is Irish.
Reply:No, it's just a name beginning with O.
The Irish names with the O' prefix means 'grandson of' and the names are O'Sullivan and O'Reilly - Not Osullivan and Oreilly
Reply:It's just as common. Actually it's written O' Bama. There's the O' Bama's from Monaghan and the O' Bama's from Skibereen and it's a very common name up around Donegal.
Reply:no
because they're both spelled like O' Sullivan and O' reilly
Obama is, i think, kenyan
Reply:No if it was it would be O'Bama besides it was his mothers family that was from ireland

No, it's Kenyan. Although apparently his mother had some Irish family...not sure about where. The Irish papers made a big deal about it. Not really surprising - most Americans are very mixed and there is a lot of irish ancestry in the population.
Reply:Obama is probably African but Barrak I am not sure.
In Waterford they have Barrack Street I wonder will they rename it to "Barrack Obama Street" to get some publicity if he wins. ... and then say that he is Irish.
Reply:No, it's just a name beginning with O.
The Irish names with the O' prefix means 'grandson of' and the names are O'Sullivan and O'Reilly - Not Osullivan and Oreilly
Reply:It's just as common. Actually it's written O' Bama. There's the O' Bama's from Monaghan and the O' Bama's from Skibereen and it's a very common name up around Donegal.
Reply:no
because they're both spelled like O' Sullivan and O' reilly
Obama is, i think, kenyan
Reply:No if it was it would be O'Bama besides it was his mothers family that was from ireland
Reply:The Irish names are actually spelled O'Sullivan or O'Reilly, and these are anglicisations.
Reply:Obama is Kenyan
Reply:Doubt that it's Irish.

Do you like the Irish name "Sanchez" for a boy babby?
My cousin's sister-in-law lives next to a woman whose brother has a friend named Sanchez O'Callaghan. They started calling him Dirty Sanchez when he was a child, and the nickname stuck.
It's so adorable for a traditional Irish Gaelic name that we're seriously considering Dirty Sanchez for our own babby.
Do you like the Irish name "Sanchez" for a boy babby?
aghh.
OK in reference to your last question (sorry but i couldnt email you and this was annoying me)...What it "County Colonic"?. There is no County with that name...im confused.
Secondly, Sanchez is NOT an Irish name. Dont you think i would have come across it...i do LIVE in Ireland you know. And seriously, does the name "Sanchez" really sound Irish to you???
And for gods sake, stop 'trying' to act what you percieve to be Irish. Just reading the word "babby" makes me roll my eyes. Do you think that you are some elderly Irish woman living on a farm or something? Id certainly never say "babby". Do you KNOW how many American tourists we get here? All claiming to be Irish?? Its SO annoying. Just cop on and be American. The try-hard Irish thing is kinda sad. Jaysus.
Also, stop using the word "Gaelic". Its really annoying because we never actually use the word here and its only ever used by Americans who are trying to be Irish (ahem)...
Just say "Irish".
And finally! Dont call your kid Sanchez. Its the dumbest name ever.
Why cant people just accept the nationality they were given...aghhh. Oh and sorry if im annoying you but theres the truth for ya. xD Sl谩n!

What do you think about this Irish first name for a boy?
Kothal.
(Original spelling is Cathal)
It means "Strong in Battle" and is Irish. Like it for a first name.
Also like the name Dragan (pronounced Dray-gan) and Draco (pronounced Dray-co). My hubbie's name is Mondrago, so they are sort of similar :)
What do you think about this Irish first name for a boy?
I really like Kothal, it sounds epic in a way. I love irish names and culture. My second favorite of the names you listed is Dragan, very strong name. =] Congradulations! God bless!
Reply:I like Cathal, there are some cool names that are from the same root.
Dragan is good, and funnily enough, I just love Draco and wish I was brave enough to use it.
Another similar-sounding name is Dragomir, which means "precious peace".
I like all these names - they're different and unusual while still being attractive and interesting.
Reply:I like the name well enough, but I definitely prefer it Cathal. Also, it is pronounced KAH-hul, not KOTH-ull. The "th" in Irish sort of disappears.
I think it would be kind of cool to have your son's name similar to your husbands. Sort of like an homage, but not quite a Jr.
Dregan is interesting, as is Mondrago. I say go for it!
Reply:I think Kothal is very diffrent and I love the meaning. I would be careful with Dragan cuz it looks like dragon although I do like the way it sounds. And, I would be weary of Draco becuase I wouldn't want other kids to tease him and call him Dracula.
Reply:If your using the name then stick to the proper original spelling. Cathal is much better.
Kothal is a trashy spelling.
Reply:I am going to say I do not like them BUT if they are your heritage go for it . You have the connection and the proper pronunciations
Reply:I like Dragan. It sounds like a really strong name.
Reply:Just cut the crap and call it Ireland or Eire.

Is Works an Irish name and can it also be spelled Warks? and where in Ireland would it be from ? thanks?
Wark
Scottish and English (Northumberland): habitational name from Wark on the Tweed river, which is named from Old English (ge)weorc 鈥?earth)works鈥? 鈥榝ortification鈥?
Warks
We have no name meaning and origin for warks
Work
Scottish: habitational name from the lands of Work in the parish of St. Ola, Orkney.
English: from Old English (ge)weorc 鈥榳ork鈥? 鈥榝ortification鈥? hence probably a topographic name or an occupational name for someone who worked on fortifications or at a fort.
Danish: habitational name from a place so called.
Works
English: variant of Work.
Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4
I'll skip my joke about Olaf Olafson, Chinese Restaurant. I will note that English, Irish and Scots moved around. Even though they talk funny and drive on the wrong side of the road, they are allowed to leave their ancestral villages now and again.

My granfather was italian and adopted by an irish family with the name of Cox. Does this still make me Irish?
My fathers father was Italian and adopted by an irish family with the last name Cox. That is my last name. Does this still make me Irish?
My granfather was italian and adopted by an irish family with the name of Cox. Does this still make me Irish?
Your ancestry is based on your actual biological ancestors.. not your name. No, dear.. your ancestry is Italian, not Irish.
Of course, assuming you are connected to your adoptive relatives, you still have a bond with them.
Reply:Where did your grandmother and your mother come from?
You have 4 grandparents, so if only one was Italian, then you are a quarter Italian.
Being adopted would not change your father`s original nationality. Even if he was naturalised as Irish, his original heritage would still be Italian.
Incidentally, while you are researching the surname COX, if you get stuck, try looking under COCKS, as they sometimes changed the spelling.
Reply:If your grandfather was born Italian, it means his parents were probably Italian, and therefore he had Italian blood, not Irish. You are only a result of whatever blood is in your veins.
Remember that your grandfather only gives you 1/4 of your ancestry. The other 3/4s are made up of his wife, and your other set of grandparents. If they have Irish in them, then that would give you some Irish blood too. Or perhaps their children (your parents) married an Irish person, and then had you. This would make you part Irish too.
If nobody came into the family who was Irish though, you are not genetically Irish. And remember, genetically speaking, you are not 100% Irish, because your grandfather was Italian, and maybe even some other ancestors were foreign too.
For example, my mother is Belgian, but she was born in the Congo. That makes her Congolese by birth, but she does not have any Congolese blood. Therefore I am not Congolese either. It makes me part Belgian.
Reply:Personally, I'd say Italian. Then again, if it was up to me personally I'd call myself American but I know what you are getting at.
The man I knew as my grandfather, and who raised my dad since he was 3 was German but my real grandfather (who died when my dad was a baby) was Irish and thats what I consider myself as when people ask my heritage.
Reply:That would make you both Irish and Italian if you relate to those ethnic groups.
Some of us relate to multiple ethnic groups. It is not a matter you have to chose.
We are all part of the American salad bowl. There are more mutts than purebreds (using a dog analogy.)
As long as we can accept a person, it doesn't matter what ethnic group he or she relates to.

My last name is Goodwin and I have an Irish and Scottish heritage. How do I determine my correct Tartan?
I have been told by my family that I am Irish, Scottish and Welch. My last name is Goodwin and I am from New Hampshire. My very limited research has not yielded many results. I would like to know if I have a family crest either from Scotland or Ireland and if there is an associated tartan that I can call my own. Thanks for checking this out!
My last name is Goodwin and I have an Irish and Scottish heritage. How do I determine my correct Tartan?
Goodwin is an English name.
Here is the Goodwin crest
http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx...
If you know you have Irish and Scottish ancestors then not very surprising that you might have an English surname given the plantations.
Goodwin isnt Irish and if you had only English ancestors you could say it is an English name but since you have Irish ones its more Anglo-Irish in your case.
Reply:if your last is name is Goodwin that's your of English heritage not Welsh heritage Goodwin sounds like an Anglo Saxon Surname your heritage Irish Scottish and English not Irish Scottish Welsh your heritage is incorrect i'm of English Irish Scottish and Welsh from my grandfathers side Report Abuse
Reply:I suspect that your main problem in finding valid information, could be from the idea of researching a SURNAME, and not actual persons. Stop and visualize that you have 8 gr grandparents.. and since women are a different name by BIRTH, this means you descend equally from 8 different persons. This is ONLY an analogy.. since the same concept applies to their parents, making it 16. The accurate way is to find valid records concerning each of those INDIVIDUAL PERSONS, especially since any Irish, Welch or other heritage may come through other lines. Only one of the 8 (or 16) is named Goodwin.
Once you grasp that idea.. you know that your surname comes through your father's side, but it is still a question of finding the specific person, for example, John Goodwin, who came to the US, and who is in fact your ancestor. ALL GOODWINS do not always come from one place.. the name is found in English records as well. You have to verify your own ancestor, and his own origin.
It would be pointless to look for a tartan/ crest or anything else, without having accurate information. If you find your Goodwin line is based in England, then you work with the UK College of Arms and their qualifications/ standards. You will find, once you investigate those regulations, that there is no such thing as "family" crests. They are ONLY awarded/ issued to an individual person, not a family. Think of your brother being given the Medal of Honor for military service. It is his alone. You are not entitled to wear it. Ireland or Scotland may have different standards.. again.. without factual research, you won't know which may apply to you.
Reply:Goodwin is not really a Scottish name. Sounds like a corruption of Godwin (Godwyn).
Found this:
"In 1858 the Camden Society in London published "The Domesday Book of St Pauls" in which are listed the names of the peasants living in its various manors in 1222. It is clear that Christian names were beginning to follow the Norman fashion. For example, a man with the old English name of Aethelward (Ailwardus) gives to his three sons the Norman names of Walter, Ralf and Geoffrey. Their neighbour, a bondsman holding five acres, is Ricardus Godwini, Richard the son of Godwin (Godwin having been in the pre-Conquest England of 1066 one of the most popular Christian names in the kingdom). If at this point the surname becomes standardised for future generations as Godwin or Goodwin, a few centuries later some researcher will claim a Saxon origin for the family. But if the standardisation of the surname occurs in the next generation, it will be Richards, not Godwin, and that same researcher will be ready to pronounce the family as Welsh in origin.
We can stay with the Godwin name to illustrate the errors further. In 1891 "The Goodwins of Hartford, Connecticut" was published in America. It claimed ~
The family name Goodwin is one which has been, and is, very widely distributed not only over England, but over most of the northern countries of Europe, and instances of its occurrence are to be met with in very early times. As far back as the fifth century we met with it in Germany (Pertz, Monumenta Germanica, ix, 189) in the forms Gudwin and Godwin.
Professor Freeman, one of an eminent group of historians who broke down the myths nurtured and propagated during the last century, explained ~
In many cases the process has been simply this. A man bears as his surname one of the ancient English names which have gone out of use as Christian names. He finds in early English history some one who bears that name as a Christian name. He first mistakes the Christian name for a surname, and fancies that the ancient worthy bore the same surname, perhaps an unusual one, as himself. Having got thus far, it would be almost impossible to keep himself back from the next step, to refrain from claiming the ancient worthy as a forefather."
Doesn't mean there were not or are not people with that surname in Scotland though. A safer bet I am afraid is that your heritage probably lies in England. You'd have to start researching it more %26amp; getting information like birth certificates etc.
Ben...don't know if it was you thatgave me the Thumbs Down, but I can onky assume it's because I told you there was every chance you might not have a Scottish heritage. I was just stating facts I found, not trying to insult or upset anyone.

Reply:I suspect that your main problem in finding valid information, could be from the idea of researching a SURNAME, and not actual persons. Stop and visualize that you have 8 gr grandparents.. and since women are a different name by BIRTH, this means you descend equally from 8 different persons. This is ONLY an analogy.. since the same concept applies to their parents, making it 16. The accurate way is to find valid records concerning each of those INDIVIDUAL PERSONS, especially since any Irish, Welch or other heritage may come through other lines. Only one of the 8 (or 16) is named Goodwin.
Once you grasp that idea.. you know that your surname comes through your father's side, but it is still a question of finding the specific person, for example, John Goodwin, who came to the US, and who is in fact your ancestor. ALL GOODWINS do not always come from one place.. the name is found in English records as well. You have to verify your own ancestor, and his own origin.
It would be pointless to look for a tartan/ crest or anything else, without having accurate information. If you find your Goodwin line is based in England, then you work with the UK College of Arms and their qualifications/ standards. You will find, once you investigate those regulations, that there is no such thing as "family" crests. They are ONLY awarded/ issued to an individual person, not a family. Think of your brother being given the Medal of Honor for military service. It is his alone. You are not entitled to wear it. Ireland or Scotland may have different standards.. again.. without factual research, you won't know which may apply to you.
Reply:Goodwin is not really a Scottish name. Sounds like a corruption of Godwin (Godwyn).
Found this:
"In 1858 the Camden Society in London published "The Domesday Book of St Pauls" in which are listed the names of the peasants living in its various manors in 1222. It is clear that Christian names were beginning to follow the Norman fashion. For example, a man with the old English name of Aethelward (Ailwardus) gives to his three sons the Norman names of Walter, Ralf and Geoffrey. Their neighbour, a bondsman holding five acres, is Ricardus Godwini, Richard the son of Godwin (Godwin having been in the pre-Conquest England of 1066 one of the most popular Christian names in the kingdom). If at this point the surname becomes standardised for future generations as Godwin or Goodwin, a few centuries later some researcher will claim a Saxon origin for the family. But if the standardisation of the surname occurs in the next generation, it will be Richards, not Godwin, and that same researcher will be ready to pronounce the family as Welsh in origin.
We can stay with the Godwin name to illustrate the errors further. In 1891 "The Goodwins of Hartford, Connecticut" was published in America. It claimed ~
The family name Goodwin is one which has been, and is, very widely distributed not only over England, but over most of the northern countries of Europe, and instances of its occurrence are to be met with in very early times. As far back as the fifth century we met with it in Germany (Pertz, Monumenta Germanica, ix, 189) in the forms Gudwin and Godwin.
Professor Freeman, one of an eminent group of historians who broke down the myths nurtured and propagated during the last century, explained ~
In many cases the process has been simply this. A man bears as his surname one of the ancient English names which have gone out of use as Christian names. He finds in early English history some one who bears that name as a Christian name. He first mistakes the Christian name for a surname, and fancies that the ancient worthy bore the same surname, perhaps an unusual one, as himself. Having got thus far, it would be almost impossible to keep himself back from the next step, to refrain from claiming the ancient worthy as a forefather."
Doesn't mean there were not or are not people with that surname in Scotland though. A safer bet I am afraid is that your heritage probably lies in England. You'd have to start researching it more %26amp; getting information like birth certificates etc.
Ben...don't know if it was you thatgave me the Thumbs Down, but I can onky assume it's because I told you there was every chance you might not have a Scottish heritage. I was just stating facts I found, not trying to insult or upset anyone.

Whats the name of the irish movie based on the ira and fighting in ireland ?
i forgot the name but anyone have a clue ?
Whats the name of the irish movie based on the ira and fighting in ireland ?
There are a few movies out with these kind of Plots.....So i am going to give you the best two that i think fits.
The name of the movies are...
In the Name of the Father (1994)
Based on a true story, this rousing and tough-minded film details British overzealousness in prosecuting an IRA bombing in the 1970s.
OR,
Michael Collins (1996) - Irishman Liam Neeson stars in this historical tale set in 1916 about the founding of Ireland, the roots of the Irish Troubles and the Irish Republican Army. A good but not flawless narrative film version of this slice of history and an engrossing film. Directed by Neil Jordan, who also did "The Crying Game."
Let me know if you can give anymore detail. If neither of these movies ends up being what you were looking for.
Cheers.

I am hoping to find out, if someone can tell me if the last name Loftin is of Irish origin/descent?
Any information greatly appreciated, about if Loftin is an irish name. Ive done some searching but cannot find anything.

Don't be fooled by peddlers of surname products like House of Names and swyrich.com.
The same name frequently comes from more than one national origin. Also, not everyone with the same name are necessarily related or shares ancestor, even those of the same national origin.
The best thing to do is to trace your ancestry starting with yourself and working back. Anytime you wish to do this, there are lots of good people on this board that can give you some great tips and advice. Just ask.
Reply:click on the ancestry link that claims Loftin is Swedish.
Now... on that page, click on where it says 'place of origin".
Gosh. None of them came from Sweden. SOME came from Ireland, and others came from other places. Of course, read the fine print some more, and THAT info only comes from the NY passenger lists.
So.. I can't tell you where the name comes from, but I can say that it does not necessarily come from any ONE place. The real question is where the person comes from.
I am blond and quite caucasian. My name (in school)was Siu.. it actually was my stepfather's name. I have NO Chinese ancestry at all. A persons name is not a guarantee of anything.
Don't generalize on a surname. Find out with documentation, where YOUR Loftin immigrant came from. And please, don't go near houseofnames.com
Reply:Loftin is actually of English origin/descent
The Loftin family crest was a black shield with a silver chevron engraved between three silver trefoils.
Some variations of the surname are: Loftus, Lofthouse, Loftis, Loftiss, Loftos.
The different variations are due to the lack of spelling rules in the early English language, so there were many variations in spelling in early Anglo-Saxon surnames.
Reply:Loftin
Swedish: ornamental name composed of an unexplained first element + the suffix -in, from Latin -in(i)us 鈥榙escendant of鈥? Compare Loften. This is a common name in TX and NC
Using "Loft" as the first element, ancestry.com had this to say about the surname LOFT:
English: from Middle English "lofte" 鈥榰pper chamber鈥? 鈥榓ttic鈥? possibly bestowed on a household servant who worked in an upper chamber, or used in the same sense as Loftus.
Danish: habitational name from a place called Loft.
Loftus
English (Yorkshire): habitational name from Loftus in Cleveland, Lofthouse in West Yorkshire, or Loftsome in East Yorkshire. All are named from Old Norse "lopt" 鈥榣oft鈥? 鈥榰pper storey鈥?+" hus" 鈥榟ouse鈥? the last being derived from the dative plural form, "husum". Houses built with an upper storey (which was normally used for the storage of produce during the winter) were a considerable rarity among the ordinary people of the Middle Ages.
Irish: English surname adopted by certain bearers of the Gaelic surname O'Lochlainn (see Laughlin) or 脫O' Lachtnain (see Lough).
