Does Farqueson Sound familiar?

[string]

I finally got the information on what clan my family is from my Dad, I didn't catch him in a talkative mood (should have asked him while he was brewing beer) but he said the clan is Farqueson, and the only other thing I know is I'm pretty sure it's through the Conley family.

I looked up the tartan, which is quite pretty and saw some cresty things also, but I'm interested in knowing more. I am certain that the link is very small and probably quite far back, but I will try and get more information from my dad at some later date, as he has done massive amounts of genealogical study on the family.

Thankies, String

good luck with your search

Best of luck indeed.

Would Farqueson be Farquharson? (from Gaelic Mac Fearchair).

Conley is usually Irish, from Ó Connlaoich meaning descended from Connlaoch, a personal name meaning warrior-hound.

Could be, I can't spell. Its a Scot who went to Ireland then came here, Scots-Irish, or Ulster Scots as they were called at the time.

If I remember the Farqueson clan had a booth last year in Murry, KY. I hope to be there again this year.

Actually, Ulster-Scots is a modern designation. Some scholars believe that the term "Scotch-Irish" was adopted to differentiate them from the Southern Irish.

String,

Take a look at www.electricscotland.com you can find a lot of family and clan history on their web site.

I always found the term "southern" Irish to be funny. I'm considered southern Irish despite the fact that my home county of Donegal is the most northerly on the isle!

I have some Finley ancestors, which is an associated family of Farquharson.

Same is the story of my family... Stewarts from Co. Antrim.

I've usually read that the 'Scotch-Irish' term was coined in the US, whereas 'Ulster-Scots' is used in Ireland and the UK... of course, its a topic of much debate, no matter from what side you look at it.
