Hi JoAnn, Irish surnames altered over time with Mac being spelled as M' or Mc or dropped altogether, like with the actors Dennis and Randy QUAID. I have over 40 possible spellings of my name, for example. Try searching www.failteromhat.co<http://www.failteromhat.com>m but put QUADE then try QUAID in the search box and you will get dozens of hits for Counties Monaghan and Tyrone, going back to the Hearth Money Lists of the 1660s and the 1796 Flax List.
