It never occurred to me that Mack might have been short for maybe Mack-a-roy (or any or surname beginning with "Mac" or "Mc").Do you have ancestors with both Mack and MacAlroy? as surnames? Perhaps that is why I am having such a hard time with Macks. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
