    The research I have done says that Magrath is a sept of MacRae. Somewhere along the line it was changed to McGrath. So, down the line somewhere I have Scottish ancestors (?)

    Therein lies the problem with modern sept lists. It's not a sept, it's the same name: both are Anglicisations of Mac Rath. (Pronounced MAC RA)
