At least all of the surnames we have been able to trace for 150 years or so have all been generically British: Mac Oibicin (Mac AW-bi-kin), Morgan, Harris, Cook, Flynn, Bass. My grandfather learned to play pipes in England during the second World War from a guy named "Ross". He taught me as a child and I took it from there. I'm still an avid competing piper and Highland/Irish dress is becoming more of a related hobby.
