Heritage: Surnames & Genealogy

At the Surnames Tent, we will assist anyone interested in information on their surname. If the given surname is recognized or found as being Celtic, all references, books of surnames and/or history, will be searched. Depending on the abundance of knowledge available on a Celtic surname, the inquirer may walk away knowing the surname's origin (i.e. Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Cornish, etc.), its meaning, any historic relevance, any Clan (Scottish and/or Irish) association(s), and tartan(s).​

Our Surnames team will be joined by volunteers from the Irish Genealogical Society of Michigan, North American Gaeltacht and the Daughters of the British Empire - you'll find them all in with the Mighty Clans (near the Highland Games.) Stop by and get started on your ancestry journey.
