Melvyn, I would love to claim him as a rellie on the husbands side, thats if he isnt complicated like my lot. The name is a Hugenot name originally De lacy, many still keep the original spelling but my husbands lot obviously didnt, its a popular name her in Ireland, from Lord Hugh De Lacy. A descendant of the great Walter de Lacy of the Conquest of England, Gilbert de Lacy had a son, Hugh de Lacy. Hugh became the first Viceroy of Ireland, Governor of Ireland and the Lord Palatinate of Meath. Hugh was one of the conquerors of Ireland during the Norman Conquest of Ireland. Found this info on this site. http://indigo(.)ie/~bdf/LordHughdeLacy(.)htm Hope all this is of interest to you. Pat x
