Bill and Scott, Do either of you know where in Ireland/Scotland the Conner's came from.  I had heard that we are part Scot/Irish.  I have someone that is considering going to Ireland and do some research.  Opaldeen

Opaldeen, I will send you a link to a Conner who has done a lot of Ireland research. Unfortunately we have not found a direct link to any Irish Conner yet. My DNA sample indicate that many of my DNA matches are from the area between Spain and Franch (Basque region). I have come to realize , after much study on the subject, that just because we have an Irish surname it does not necessarilly mean that we are "Irish". Surnames only began around the 11th century and people in Ireland , for the most part, were immigrants from other countries. I will put you in touch with Hal, who is an expert on Irish geneology and has visited Ireland himself.
