Oh my. Patronymics, patronymics, patronymics. Maybe if I repeat it often enough I'll get it right eventually.

I read of a charter calling him called Lawemundu Mac Greghere (after his grandfather). I read to that Mac Greghere was confused by some with Mac Gregor. Which makes me wonder about reference to Mac Gregors in Cowall area. Then I find authors saying that the Lamonts original named MacFhearchar or MacErachar. Which make me wonder about the M'Gilligowie proximity to the Farquharsons (the MacFeachair).

Just a thought. If, given a goodly amount of education, and with the electronic aids that we now have, I still can't get the word patronymics right (I concentrated very hard to get it right this time), why should we be surprised at older documents, hand-written, transcribed, handed down a number of generations, typed up, perhaps incorrectly, proof-read by someone 200 to 300 years after the original hand-written document was drawn up, perhaps having been subjected to rain, fire and the dog's breakfast, expect perfect clarity? I think I'll settle for McErachar being McFeachar.
