May or O'May Family
« on: Tuesday 01 January 13 12:37 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I am looking for any May or O'May families in this area.  My great-grandfather and
his parents were born in North County Dublin.  There is a possibility that their
ancestors might have been from this area though that may be going back many
many generations.  Also, any general history of the May or O'May
families is appreciated such as locations, occupations, migrations.

I am posting this same request in Renfrew.

Thank you,
Tim
Co. Dublin: May

Tim, just adding same comment as I did to the Renfrewshire post www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,629586.0.html

Hi Tim

If I could give you some advice to try to help you get some relevant contributions. Your post is likely too general. You can imagine how many O'/Mays will show in the historical records in the Renfrewshire area and also elsewhere in Scotland.

Although you say your O'Mays could have had ancestors originating in Scotland, have you followed this through to see where the research takes you?
