Not exactly.  My family is somewhat, hrm, interested with its history.  We
have done a good bit of research on the subject.  The story of King
Conchobair, king of the Irish, is a matter of historical fact.  Feel free to
look it up (as I have done).  Now I don't mean to claim royal descent
(although it is possible, I guess, and wouldn't that be cool)  as the name
Conner has arisen from a couple of other unrelated places.  But everything I
said is a matter of historical fact, and has nothing to do with any "print
out your family history" computer at a tourist site anywhere.
