Hey my name is Bryan, and I am looking and been trying to find out what the name "Weadick" comes from. I am thinking English or German but im not sure. I've heard many different stories from different people. Maybe someone could tell me what I am. Also, if anyone has the "Weadick" family tree.. it would be greatly appreciated to have it sent to my email or sent to me in any way. I would appreciate a response. Thanks a lot!

Hi my name is Bryan Weadock. Weadock/Weadick are both from Arklow, County Wicklow, Ireland. I believe my great grandfather was a Weadick. Somewhere along the way it was changed to Weadock. Quite a few Weadocks in the greater New York area as well as Michigan and Alberta, Canada. You're an Irishman!!

Bryan....Weadick came down from the name MacMurrough and is considered an ancient Celtic name. If you have ancestors in Arklow, contact me at PLeon112@aol.com. I have all the Arklow Weadick/Weadock records. My mother was a Weadick/Weadock.

Hi Bryan,

Don't know if you're still interested, but Weadick/Waddick and all it's varients is an ancient Celtic name. It didn't come from any other part of Europe You have pure Irish roots, going back to the 600s a.d.
Now, if you give me some of your family names, and a bit of history, I might be able to help you with your family tree.
My email is PLeon112@aol.com. Peggy
