There is a shorter path no less expensive and that would be to under go a geneological DNA screening. What is interesting is the spelling with the double n. I know on my maternal side there is a strong line to an O'Conor which is very different than the O'Connor we are used to seeing. There is something special about that extra n.

Thanks. The Glenn surname is actually on my mothers side. I was just researching some of my various family names, especially those in Virginia.
I have actually taken a DNA test which is through of course, the male Y-DNA, interestingly enough my paternal surname is Welsh
(my dad is Welsh and Irish) and that line comes from the Isle of Anglesey in Wales. The DNA however, showed the highest concentration of that type to be on the Western coast of Scotland, and not in Wales...go figure. The second area it was associated with was Thomond in Ireland.
