About the Duart One-Name Study

The Duart One-Name Study began in 2008 officially, but research began long ago with my interest in proving John Duart, who immigrated to Canada from Northern Ireland, was from the Maclean's of Duart clan. I've been successful in tracing him back to County Down, Ireland, but have found little else. The name was registered with One-Name Study in 2009. The study continues and has found additional Duart families in Michigan, California, New York, Pennsylvania in the United States.

Variants

The registered variants of the Duart name are Dewart, Doward, Duard, and Dhu-Ard. However when you search on Duart, other variants appear such as De Ward, De Weerd, de Weerd, De Weert, de Weert, Deweere, Dewere, Dewert, Dorward, Duar, Duarr, Duarte, Dueart, Dueerde, Duerd, Duere, Duewer, Dueyer, and Dwart. If you feel these are part of Duart feel free to submit that information.
