Dear Mr. Baron Livingstone,
Thank you for your reply. I think there is a way to prove a possible connection between these Contin MacLeay's and the Lismore MacLea's. SNP testing would certainly be the next step to take, I'm quite sure about that.
For me personally it's not really that important to make this connection, but it is interesting for sure. I'm just curious where my Scottish ancestors are from. And I would like to prove what my surname would have been. At this time it's just a guess that it could have been MacLeay. But maybe it's not MacLeay or MacLea, but a surname that's associated with a totally different clan.
Kind regards, Remko Mikkenie
