Question My dad (who is now passed) said we,Causeys, are of Scot-Irish decent. But I can not find any evidence of this. Would you know the orgin of the surname Causey? I am working on my Masters and it is a class assignment to review our history.
Answer Hi RC
Sorry about your dad passing away. I always wanted my parents to live forever! He would be very proud of you finishing your Masters --so keep up the hard work.
The name Causey, or Cawsey generally means someone who lives by a causeway. McCausey who then be the son of someone living by a causeway. I wouldn't be surprised if your name as gone through several spelling changes over the generations. If you are going to trace your genealogy try using several different spellings.
Thanks for the question and good luck with your education.
