Welcome newest members; @ Lamont #445693 "HI there. I came across your website in my search for Lamont's origin in Ireland. I have traced my ancestors back to McGillivies in Perthshire Scotland, who are said to be Lamonts. Whether this be by blood or allegiance I am unsure. Thus my search. I am DF104+, downstream by way of BigY700 to BY35718... Hoping to find out just a little bit more." Woulfe says Mac Ladhmainn-MacLamond, MacLimont, MacClamon, MacClymon, MacClimond, MacClimont, Lammon, Lamond, Lamont, Limond, Limont; 'son of Laghmann' (a Norse personal name, meaning 'lawman' or 'lawyer'; found in the Domesday book as Laghemann or lagman...); the name of a Scoto-Irish family in Argyleshire. They are of the same stock as the MacSweenys and MacLachlins, all three, according to MacFirbis, from three sons of Donnshleibhe O'Neill (descent from Neill of the Nine Hostages). Mr. Lamont will be moved into R1b-DF104 > R1b-DF105 > R1b-ZZ87 > R1b-DF85 - Dál Cuinn, Clanda Eochada Muigmedúin, Uí Néill, Cenél Conaill?
@Sweeney #57241 was added as R1b-FGC46310+, which is currently thought to be the Uí Fiachrach Muaide top level clade. He gives his MDKA as Thompson. Rev. Woulfe says:
Mac Tómais, Mac Tomáis—V—M'Thomas, Thomson, Thompson, Thomas, &c.; 'son of Thomas'; the first of these forms, which came to us from Scotland, reflects an older pronunciation of Thomas. In Co. Mayo, it is often made Ó Tómais.
Given the Co. Mayo connection and barring any SCEs, this MAY be an unrecorded Ó Tómais family of the Uí Fiachrach Muaide. He will be moved into R1b-DF104 > R1b-DF105 > R1b-FGC23742 - Dál Cuinn, Clanda Eochada Muigmedúin, Uí Fiachrach, Cenél Feradaig Dathíi?
