The Scottish Macs. Family names of Scotland and the Scots-Irish    Derivation and Origin of Scottish family names (‘Mac, Mc’ names). Genealogy & Family History, sources.    This is an early work on Scottish family names, in particular those that begin (or began) with ‘Mac’ or ‘Mc’. Of course, many names dropped the ‘Mac’ and ‘Mc’ in modern times, but they can still trace the family back to the old Mac names in this book. It is the first and only time this book appears with the IGF surname index. Each name is analyzed in the following categories as known:    1) Surname  2) Found today in  3) Root and Meaning   4) Place of origin and early instances.    It is a unique source in that it gives early individuals of the name, some back to the 1200’s, others back to the 1600’s, etc.. This is a great book to become familiar with these Scottish names and these same names in Northern Ireland today. It is not too difficult to understand.     Approx. 60 p. in all, full size 8 1/2 x 11, heavier parchment cover, spiral bound, new index, sources. Records are reproduced here exactly as they appear in the original documents in the IGF Library (enlarged for easy reading), and the pages do show the wear of time. A must for any collection that includes this area of study. Several hundred names are covered, plus older spellings used earlier in history. Most of the study covers names in Scotland, but Ireland is noted in several instances. The family history here is not large for any given name - but it is very specific and historical when notations are given.

This first collection of poems and photographs captures, not  only the beauty of Ireland with its mountains, streams and scenic  coastline, but the tragic violence and personal loss, from The  Troubles, that haunts the people of Northern Ireland and which led the  author and his wife to choose exile and the challenges of raising a  family in a new land.
