McCurly is probably a scotch Irish name.

By the way eaglecap. The Scots are British last time I checked, indeed the last two PM's have been Scottish.

All scottish people originally came from Ireland in the 10th or 11th century, so basically, they are one and the same. It is no surprise that you will find an Irish Kennedy and a Scottish Kennedy but who is the original and who is the branch only God knows.

Even though I am part Irish I really do not know much about the Irish diaspora.

The British were sometimes brutal to the Irish natives but did they forcefully convert Catholic Irish to the Protestant faith? This would be contrary to the Protestant religion but did they?

I also have a tiny bit of English ancestry so I am not picking on the Brits.

I have been to the Irish Republic and I saw a number of Protestant churches. This suprised me because I believed it was strictly a Catholic country. It is a great place and the people are very kind.

Our ancestor's last name was McCurly but I don't know if this is Scotch Irish or Irish-???

I know many, like the Scots, Irish were forced out of Ireland by the British and the rich Irish Lords- very sad!!

we figure they came around the 1830's or 40'r to Ameerica ( our Irish side) but only a guess by the family.
