New here, came to say hello

Good evening,

A while back, I was looking into my mother's family history.  For years....decades...she insisted that she and her ancestors were (sorry) Irish - Mc's, not Mac's, etc.  She also thought that there were precious few McLuckies left in the world.

I was amazed at the research one of my cousins came up with, that there are thousands of McLuckies and, at least, according to her, we're all related!   To top it off, the McLuckies are considered a sept family of Clan Lamont.  I read earlier about some of the history of Clan Lamont, which I found fascinating, as I love history.

Last year, my oldest son was in the same class with a McLuckie.  I tried to start a conversation with the family on the school open house day, but they were not interested.  Oh, well.

On a historical note...one John McLuckie was mayor of Homestead, Pennsylvania and an employee at Carnegie Steel during the strike and riot of 1892.

So, hello to all.  I'm going to sign up for membership and hope to meet some folks here.

Welcome aboard. It is always great to have someone discover their heritage. Do you attend or plan on attending any gatherings in your area? We can get you in touch with other Lamonts. BTW hope to see you in the playoff. Ducks fan

Hi, Tom,

I would be interested in meeting other members of the grand and noble Clan Lamont in the Western Pennsylvania/Tri State area.  

Thank you,

Joe Washinski

It is a small world, my husband is from Homestead. Born and raised. His family is mostly Polish and Welsh from what we can tell though.

Wow, Homestead!  An indirect ancestor, John McLuckie, was mayor of Homestead and a worker at Carnegie Steel during the 1892 strike that was crushed by Frick and the Pinkertons.

The Pittsburgh area was one of the places that countless Scots and Scots-Irish emigrated to in large numbers after the American Revolution.  Pittsburgh was at one time considered the Rome of Presbetery because of the large number of Presbyterian churches in the area.

Then the Poles moved in and changed everythingbiggrin.
