    This was a thrift store find from a few years back. I've always had an interest in my familys history and was thrilled to find this book with the McHugh coat of arms on a Gw shelf. It has wonderful full color coat of arms illustrations, and explains how last names have changed, and what region they originated. This is the American version published in the 1970s. If any of you have requests to see your shield, you can email me at my email address on my page:)

      Thanks anyways Sarah, I'm not surprised it's not a very common name. There are ones online, but I was curious to see if your book had it or not.
      I appreciate your efforts.

      I had a quick look, but will look further tomorrow. I forgot to mention that my Great Grandfather was born in Schull/Scull Co Cork.
      Thanks again!
