thanks. but did the scottish use Mc? or is that a post period development of
the language? would a name submitted as McCongail be changed to mac Congail? He
really wants the former, but I know I can talk him around if necessary.
Two wars ago you showed me a list of acceptable Gaelic naming forms that we
used to fix my name after it bounced at laurel. (Thank you!) Do you have any
idea what I am talking about, and is it available somewhere?
