Question by Michael M: Can anybody help me to establish if any of these names are associated with aristocracy or royalty of europe?
Years ago, my mother had her tarot cards read, and the woman told her that she was of ‘diluted royal blood’ coincidentally her grandfather used to tell her that her family was descended from royalty of some kind. I ignored both of these, as regard to using them as evidence, But last year I, myself went to a fortune teller, and was told
”You are one of great and noble ancestry” which made me remember my mothers experience immediately.
I am not an imposter looking to seek a claim to a throne, or anything like that, it would just be interesting to find an explanation.
On my fathers side, I’m descended from the Irish and Scottish Mulligan Clans who were Barons (which were, in those times regional kings) in those countries respectively. I can trace that side back to around the 12th century, and interestingly, the Mulligan clan were said to have inherited male pattern baldness, and a grey (mallon) streak in their hair. My great grandfather, Grandfather, Uncles, and father have all gone (or are going) bald (I am 17, so I’m not quite there yet) and I am the only person of my paternal family to have inherited a small grey streak that runs through my hair, and also (quite wierdly) shows up on symmetrical places on my body (two stripes on my chest, and corresponding patches on my shins).
Anyway, Im not here to talk about that side.
My mothers family cant be traced further back than the mid 1800’s. (well I’m sure it can but i’ts very difficult)
So could anybody inform me if any of these surnames arise thoughout european history as royal, or noble names.

There is a clan Woods being scottish
Coleman has simular crest as McMann, therfor scottish
Taphouse, not recognisable
Davis, again scottish
none of the above have royal blood, though they have a place in scottish history .
I am scottish of the Anderson clan I am proud to say I wear the kilt of the Anderson tartan, distant relitive of bonnie prince Charlie
I know in Belgium a guy named Michel De Man and he work’s for the French company named AGF (insurrance) rue Royale in Brussels, he told me years ago something similar, I think you have to try to contact him, maybe he will help you.

You might want to post this under genealogy for more responses,and visit http://www.ancestry.com for more information on those name.The best things to do is to pay a professional genealogist to trace your background.
Those names are all fairly common in England and most people are descended from nobility somewhere along the line. A Baron is the lowest title in England and male pattern baldness affects a massive proportion of the population.
