No longer holding on to what I know is gone.

I have done some extensive genealogy research and I am thinking of choosing an old family name. These people came to America in the late 1700's from Ireland and later during the potato famine the whole name died out over there. I've been to the town and I kind of like the history associated with it.

I've also checked locally and can't find the name listed in the phone book or online (411 . com)

I'm really leaning toward using it.
