Clan McCormack, MacCormack, McCormick, MacCormack and Cormack
Updated: Monday, 13 August 2001

Scottish Cormacks, MacCormicks, and MacCormacks are generally associated with either the Clan Buchannan or Clan MacLean/MacLaine, but they may also be associated with no clan at all. Here you'll find info about Cormacks and MacCormacks, links to clans, and other related info. Also we'll have info on spelling variants like McCormick, McCormeck, McCormac, etc.

Two Celtic Hounds

My grandmother, Lila Dorothy was a Cormack (finally got the spelling). An episode I remember from before I was interested in family history-a 2nd or 3rd cousin had written a partial family genealogy and grandma had scratched out the Mac because "she was a Cormack!" (even though most of her life she used MacCormack as her maiden name. It may have been added to an official document and she figured it was easier to just go along...)

Click to see more photos from 1880-1900 Scotland.Another anecdote was that she was youngest child, conceived in Scotland but born in Colorado in 1903. Still haven't found evidence...but it seems unlikely since the family moved to Colorado about 1888! Her father was Francis Cormack (1858-1905), mother Dora Waters, and aunt was Mary Waters (1875-1929) from the Wick, Caithness, Scotland area. Dora, Christina, and Mary's father Peter Waters died in 1888 and is buried in the Bower churchyard in Scotland. A list of her ancestors is available.

Where my MacCormack ancestors came from in Scotland My grandmother had at several sisters, Janet (1888-1905), Mary Catherine (Aunt Kate), and Christina (Aunt Teen), the later living in Karval, Colorado at some point in the 1950s or 1960s. Janet Cormack is buried with Francis and Mary in a cemetery in Elizabeth, Colorado. There were also brothers, David, Peter William (1898-1957), William, and Francis (1888-abt.1901) More family photos are available. Also available is an tree of the related Scottish families in PDF format.

I received a very interesting McCormick story from Bob L. Layne Hasbargen, Pacific Northwest Commissioner, Clan Maclaine of Lochbuie. Kevin McCormick has a slightly different telling. Also the Clan Gillean Webserver has an interesting page with Highland names in Gaelic.
