Hi Sue, I am fairly new to this list so please bear with me. I read your email with great interest. I find it fasinating that you have proof that the name QUEEN or MCQUEEN or MACQUEEN is not british I cannot wait to see your paperwork, which I presume is forthcoming to the list. Where did your CHARLES QUEEN and wife come from? I am presuming another part of Europe and would be very interested to find out where. You do realise that British means Scots, English, Irish or Welsh. I myself am a Scot and personally find it quite patronising to be called British. It is impossible for the Queen family to come from one human being. I understand why you have to look so much, I have to too. And found things I did not really want to know but that is history. No DNA or any other study will find out everything. I am a Queen through my mother and as far as I have gone back it is QUEEN from Ireland. Can you tell me if the native Americans were called queen as I just don't understand where the name has derived from. Sharon

Hi Sharon and all. I remember a great line that answers your question. "In the Colonies it was neither fashionable nor desirable to be a Scot" The Royalists who dominated Colonial Society brought with them from England their utter distain for any Scottish, hence the disappearance of many Mc's and Mac's. Regarding your Irish heritage remember, "an Irishman is only a Scot who learned to swim" The best research that discusses the name change was that of Myles Philbeck in 1997 published in the BGSOTC (does anyone recall what that stands for ?) His 13 page treatise on the Queen family is the only solid indication of the name change, but alas, it remains little more than a great theory.
