The Laird Connection in Ireland
		Clan MacLeod U.S A. The following quote is taken from the MacLeod website, it points to some interesting clues about Lairds in Ireland. One point is the time frame in which the Lairds migrated into Ireland, more on this later. "Laird Although not considered a sept of MacLeod, MacLeod nevertheless accepts Laird as one of its own, the Scottish surname was brought to Ulster by settlers following the plantation schemes of the 17th century. (Irish Family Names by Brian Breffny)." When we take a close look at the Laird Y-DNA we notice a close match to a lot of surnames, and a large percentage of these names are associated to clans. Of course this may mean nothing at all, or there may be some pattern here that may make sense at a later date. If we look at my Laird Y-DNA we do not see a match to Clan Macleod.
