Lines: 19 From: kdale@MINET-VHN-EM >And McCaffrey isn't an Irish name, is it? Sounds more scottish. I Yes, it is Irish and yes, it sound Scottish. The Scottish spelling would be MacCaffrey. Irish names aren't just O'somethings (like mine used to be - O'Dale), but are also McSomething, as well as just Something. It is confusing. When I was tracing my roots, I got confused all right -- my middle name is as Scottish as they come and my great-grandfather was an original O'Dale from Ireland. I could always use MacRae O'Dale as a pen name, for shock value... Keith M. Dale (kdale@minet-vhn-em) BBN Comm Corp Stuttgart, W. Germany
