Ooooh nice sweater, blondin. I actually got 2 really pretty sweaters, one from my ex-mother inlaw (they live in Ireland) and one I bought when I was over there.

Here is some info from that site:
Ó Conaill, ‘descendant of Conall’, comes from the personal name Conall, which most likely is derived from “Con”, meaning ‘hound’, and “gal”, meaning ‘valour’.

The maternal family crest!

I don't have any Irish blood in me (AFAIK) but I do have Scottish & British ancestors... (I'm a second generation Canadian).

Here is a tidbit of info. Did you know this? (Also, I think Kevin is a pretty popular name, my parents were going to name me that if I was a boy... Smile )

It should be noted that the Scottish Gaels were actually descendants of Gaelic emigrants to Scotland. The word 'Scotus' is Latin for 'Irishman'. Scottish settlers who moved to Ireland (and especially Ulster) may already have been of Gaelic Irish descent.
