Many irish changed their surnames when they first came to this country, to make them sound less irish. The irish as a whole were really treated badly when they first arrived in America.

I have no idea. I wish I could find out if I'm related to anyone famous from the past, such as a president or something.

All I know is that some of my dad's side is from Ireland.

My maiden is Sceili. It is Irish and the spelling was changed to that somewhere along the way.... My mother's maiden is Mullaly and straight from Ireland!

Grandmother's maidens were Stoddard and Sutton.

My husbands last name is Morse. His side also abruptly changed it to Morse from Massey at some point.

I like Morse better, so thank you old relatives!
