Hey O'Flashorn, :D Irish, Scot, I think they both Gaelic, if I remember correctly. Lot of Scot and Irish heritage up there in Canada as I recall. I spent all my time in the maritime provinces ( Halifax, Nova Scotia and St. Johns, Newfoundland ). Did visit some island off of Newfoundland, St. Pierre Miquelon ( French ). Not much to see there as it was a fishing town and little else. Nice gif. O'coastie !http://forums.pcworld.com/legacyimages/

Hey rg, Yeah, I know. :D Some such as McSweeney could be mistaken for being Scot as well. Speaking of which, Brown is Scottish, but then Browne is Irish. I dated a girl in New York who's last name was Cassidy and kept wanting to say she Irish, but in fact, she was from Glasgow Scotland. You can really get tangled up in that stuff. :D

Rgreen; AS was related to me by my great grandfather when I was only five, When they immigrated to Canada from Ireland, they dropped the O apostrophe before their names to show the change they were making by immigrating to "the new world". Now not all have done this and it was a choice that was made by those who wished to seperate their previous hertitage from the new life they wished to begin. In most cases, the change was made at the time they registered for immigratation. Our family name came from a very old and honorable one, but the O' became part of their past lives and was not used to elevate their staus in any way.
