[Namron] Request to the Herald(s)

[el2iot2 at mail.com]

I have references that state surnames were not common in Ireland until well into the 18th or 19th century.  often being of the form "Katie o'Claire", Katie of Claire County. 

Mostly works of geneology.  makes working on Irish records very difficult.  

Just one perspective
