Hi: I found the site listed below to be very interesting. My question is; have you subscribed to this site ? If so, is it worth the $60.00 ? I would appreciate any information you might be able to provide to me. Many thanks, Betty Lou NJ I have found this link to be quite useful: http://scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/index.cfm For example, if you enter the surname Gallagher under the surname search, you will get the following information: Gallagher: Very numerous: all provinces but primarily Donegal and adjoining counties. MacLysaght mentions 23 different spellings of the anglicised name! The Irish is Ó Gallchobhair, meaning "lover of foreigners". They were a leading sept of Cineál Conaill and ally of the O'Donnells. The sermons of Bishop James O'Gallagher (1681-1751) are one of the treasures of Irish spirituality. The name has been abbreviated to Gallahue. IF & SGG. Goligher: Quite numerous: Ulster generally. Ir. Ó Gallchóir. See Gallagher. O Gallchobhair: fairly rare: Donegal etc. Ir.Lang. See Gallagher. *You will also get a coat of arms (if available), a listing of where the name appeared in Ireland in the year 1850, websites (if available) and other information! ==== IRELAND-ROOTS Mailing List ==== Plant your Irish roots here! ============================== Find your ancestors in the Birth, Marriage and Death Records.

Betty Lou, I have not subscribed yet. I have mainly been using it to find other links and more clues in where my McCunes might be from. If you follow some of the links at the county sites, you can find free databases.
