Tell the truth. You're simply the son of a Loonie or a cyber macaroon.
Fierce fighters? Bwhahhahahahahhahhaha What happened? Cheers MC Brian McAloon wrote: As promised I'm getting back to you on the geographicals of my name. I believe we all started in the highlands. The name McAloon can be traced back through early census rolls, tax records and baptismal entries to ancient times and the area of Argyllshire in Northern Scotland. The McAloons were one of the three principal branches of the clan Cameron, and in their territory of Argyll were noted as a family with manor and estates. The difficulties related to researching McAloon heritige come from the many variations and spellings of the name. It was not uncommon for one clansman to pronounce his name one way and his son another. This inevitably led to changes in how the name was written down which included McAloney,McAloonie,McAlonie,McGillonie and McElheaney among others. The McAloneys` of Strone were the principal branch of the clan noted for their fierce fighting skills and being closely allied to the early Stewart kings. The clan has the distinction of never being defeated by Cromwells` army. Many McAloons migrated to County Derry Ireland in the 17th and 18th centuries where the name was corrupted to MacIlhinny and MacIldowney. "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message ... Are you from the Highland Clan of the McAloons or those theivin' low down self rightous cowards of the Lowland McAloons? |
