Regarding the armorial shields listed in this appendix, these are arms
that had ancient and tribal
significance,
as opposed to arms that were later assumed by an individual as a part,
for instance, of a
nonhereditary
British knighthood. The symbols used are often highly significant within
the
tribal-dynastic
sphere, in a uniquely Gaelic way. Some common abbreviations are: ar. =
argent, az. =
azure, betw.
= between, gu. = gules, quart. = quarterly, sa. = sable, 1 & 4 = first
and fourth, and 2 & 3
= second and
third. Sources are listed in the bibliography.

Appendix II - A List of Surnames
There are over a thousand families listed here. The names are in their
Anglicized form, that is, the most
generally representative
forms in English. Several categories of names appear, including names of
the
families covered
in Part II, by ethnic group; important variant forms of names found in
Part II; and
names of families
which are direct branches of one of the families dealt with in Part II,
as opposed to
more distantly
related tribal branches. Included in this latter category are blood-related
septs of the
Scottish clans.
(Scottish clan septs can be of two kinds; firstly there are the male-line
branches, the
identifiable
of which are covered here, but then secondly there were those not related
in the male line,
yet who nonetheless
followed the chief of the clan, adhering to him for protection. This reflects
Scottish
clanship’s slightly
different development in this regard, as discussed in Part I.)
Finally, it should
be noted that in some cases more than one distinct sept bore the same name
in
English or Gaelic
or both, and when one or more of such families are dealt with while others
of the
same name are
not, confusion may arise. To avoid confusion, those not dealt with are
listed here but
marked "IVL"
(indeterminate, various localities), which generally indicates that these
families simply
did not fall
within the main Gaelic tribal sphere, either because they resided outside
the Gaelic area, or
else because
they did not form a cohesive group with the level of real political significance
common to
the tribal and
clan families listed in Part II, hence their exclusion from further consideration.
They are
included to
show, for instance, that all O’Neills are not necessarily of the great
Ulster clan, or O’Neill
might be the
name of a minor family or of some other clan, or even of a family with
no historical or tribal
significance.
In this way I have cross-referenced family names throughout the Gaelic
area, so that
accuracy might
be maintained.
For the genealogist,
connection with a particular family bearing such an often-used name must
be
made on a territorial
basis (e.g., if your Maclnerney great-grandmother was from County Clare,
then
that shows her
to be Dalcassian, and not of the famous Roscommon family of hereditary
abbots or erenaghs).
If a family is only known to originate in a metropolitan area such
as Dublin, or Cork City,
then a family
tradition must be extant to determine the origin of the family (unless
a family connection
to the city
is very old). The same is true if the families in question lived in areas
adjacent to each other,
though this
is relatively rare for families of the same name. For the most part the
genealogist’s track is
straightforward
when logic and some sense of history are employed. For Scottish families,
holding a
sept-name is
often a better indication of actual descent than holding the clan chief’s
name itself,
unless a knowledge
of one’s exact connection to the chiefly line is known (see remarks in
Part I,
Chapter 1).
This again reflects the particular differences of Scottish clanship. In
addition, many
Scottish families
also appear in Ulster after the sixteenth century, as a result of large-scale
immigration.
The genealogist will find this cross-referenced appendix invaluable, and
a further look to
the bibliography
is also advised, especially where doubt may exist. Also, when using this,
name-forms
should be searched
with and without the prefixes "0" and "Mac."
