McDaniels Family History

The name McDaniels in Ireland was sometimes used as a variant of the native Gaelic Mac Domhnaill Septs that more often anglicized their name to MacDonnell. The name was also brought to the Province of Ulster by settlers from Scotland, especially during the seventeenth century.

A Sept is an ancient Clan-like collective describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors bore a common surname and inhabited the same territory.
