I don't want to offend anybody here, but in my research and of all the old photos of Mc*nt*res I've ever seen there seems to be a very high percentage of baldness!! I thought baldness was a maternal gene, but I'm not so sure. Do you have a lot of baldness in your Mc*nt*re research? Also First names. I've never seen so many Thomas, James, Joseph, & Williams in the Mc's. This seems to be a very common pattern of name choice in our research. Would like to hear of any opinions to this. Scottish and Irish names seem to be very different. Would like to sort out our Mc's based on first name choices. Religion; It was brought up last week, but no replies. What is the Protestant; Catholic comparisons in your research? Can we group Protestant/Catholic, first name,(Irish/Scottish), Baldness/not? I think it all helps paint a picture for our research, and yes there will be many exceptions. My Grandfather; born Patrick William McEntyre (Irish Catholic) Would change to William P. McIntyre ( to disguise himself as a Scottish Protestant when job searching)!! All the best! Peter.
