    3. I have spent several hours searching the web in hopes of finding someone who could share with me what the MCQUAID name originates... if there is a coat of arms and if there is a heraldy. I have found generalized information but nothing specific and there are so many sites with for purchase... I want to see what the heraldy or coat of arms would look like. I know this much... taken from a Dictionarly of names that my cousin owns... do not know the name of the resource.
