I found 23 Cady's listed at FamilytreeDNA,Com and I have Ancestry,com pending. There
are three Clan;s listed R J and I, "R" I believe the Celtic Clan that
originated in Northern Spain, The J Clan is likely German and the "I" Clan is
Scandinavian. The R Clan is the largest in size and they likely lived all along the
coast, which has since been flooded by the North Sea. The J Clan I know little about,
The I Clan is likely the Vikings who controlled much of the Isles from 880 to 1066, when
their cousins the Norman's conquered much of England. The Norman's required
surnames as part of their feudal system and family names were mostly developed after 1200.
