Lanarkshire / Re: Mochan name in Calton Glasgow
« on: Sunday 21 June 15 02:43 BST (UK)  »
My grandfather was also Bernard Mochan, as was my father. My grandfather went to Scotland in the 80's. He found information that suggested that the name was the joining of two clans, the Bearmachs and the Conns. Eventually becoming Bearmachconn. Then becoming Machconn. Apparently a large part of the clan went to Ireland for several hundred years where the name evolved into Mochan. When part of the family eventually went back to Scotland, the new spelling stuck. I have no idea if any of this is accurate. It's just what's been told to me. I was in Scotland in 1988 but was unable to get any more information.

My name is Ben Mochan. My full name is Bernard. My great grandparents were from Saltcoats, I believe, and came to Connecticut in the early 1900s. They settled in Ansonia, CT. Not sure if this is at all helpful. I know my branch of the family was mostly from the Glasgow area. But I know there's an Andy Mochan, or there was, in Aberdeen.
