Hi, Cara Thanks for the information on the BARNETTs and McMURRYs. You've answered a couple of big questions: whether the name BARNETT is Irish or English, and whether the name McMURRY is Irish, Scottish , or both. BARNETT is English, and McMURRY is either Irish or Scottish, depending on which name it was derived from. Again, thanks.
