Surname Reports

Ulster Heritage Surname Reports

Reports on the etymology and orthography of a surname can reveal information on a family’s geographic origins and kinship group. A surname report is an excellent first step into deeper research into your family’s origin and history

Ulster Gaelic surnames can be of Native Irish, Gallóglaigh Scots, Redshank Scots, Lowland Scots, or Manx origins. Gaelic surnames have multiple anglicised forms, including phonetic and translated variations. In some cases different Gaelic surnames have been anglicised the same way.

For families who participate in the Ulster Heritage DNA Project, the surname reports incorporate DNA matches and can provide a better understanding of the results.
