Hi Ray, Thanks for the details. I've seen soo many variants it's difficult to list them. Interested to hear of the Scottish McKeamish and Gaelic Mac Sheumais. I've not had any researchers claiming a connection and I would not have expected any. I obviously need to contact them. So thanks for pointing it out. I have early tree for George Jamesone (1586-1644) and researchers hoping to prove a connection. Also have descendant of Irish Whiskey Jameson, originally from Scotland.
