Georgia A (McNamee)Hines Hi Georgia,I'm not so sure that I can tell you where the main body of McNamees would have called "home", but I can give you a couple of facts that might help start your search (they surely won't end it).The first fact is that my grandfather's brother was married to Isabella McNamee and she was born in the Townland of Gort, Civil Parish of Errigal, County Tyrone. I can also tell you that from the little research I've done on Isabella, there were many more McNamees in this general area.The second fact comes from MacLysaght's "The Surnames of Ireland". The following is an extract from that book....-------- McNamee MacConmidhe (hound of Meath). This family was notable as poets and ollavs to the O'Neills. Map Tyrone. --------I think it's those last two words that were thrown in by McLysaght that may interest you, as they tend to indicate that perhaps there is some association of the surname McNamee and County Tyrone (that is not a fact, that is my interpretation). I might add that MacLysaght indicates that Tyrone was a stronghold for the O'Neills (and that is a fact).So there you have it. My two facts that tend to bias your compass a little as far as direction.....so off you go!Ed Finn

Dia Daoibh go léir / Hello Folks, Pól Breatnach, a scholar to whom Irish learning is greatly indebted, left mention of a Mac Con Midhe family (> Mac Namee) in the south Sligo area. 'Irish Men on Learning' pages 33 & 126 are worth a browse : .............The piece (= poem, Fíorainm don Ghaobhaigh an gubhach / Geevagh's correct name is 'grieving') is a lament for Francis Mac Conmidhe, son of Torlogh. It mentions his wife Sarah, his son Sémus, and his mother Mary. The final stanza wishes well to Sémus, his wife and children : Gach a sirim don cháidh clothmhar chleachtas gach deaghdhál do dhíon aitchim dá chloinn is dá chéile iad croinn na féile go fíor. Francis Mac Conmidhe of Geevagh, Co. Sligo, died in 1712. There are numerous instances of the name M'Nemy, followers of O Douda of Kilglass, Co. Sligo, in Fiants of Eliz. 5459. In 1698 Seán Mac Conmidhe retranscribed a small portion of the Annals of Loch Cé at Heapstown in Tirerril. Todd's assumption that this Seán was a travelling bard or scholar was quite unnecessary. He thought no resident Mac Namees could be found in Co. Sligo. ..........The poem by Pádraic Ó Coirnín for Francis Mac Con Midhe is in full in Ó Raghallaigh's 'Filí agus Filidheacht Chonnacht', 1938. Two of the name Mc Comny (Mc Conmy?) appear in Sligo's HMRolls 1665 at Scrín Adhamhnáin/Skreen.
