Carol,In Scotland I find MAC TAGGERT.In Ireland I find TAGGERT and MAC
TAGGERT as variants of MAC ENTAGGERT.They all have the same Gaelic
root,Mac an tSagairt(priest or son of priest) so I think we're talking
about the same family.NOW,MAC TEAGUE,MAC TAGUE,MAC TIGUE,in gaelic Mac
Taidhg, meaning son of poet,according to Reaney & Wilson in The
Dictionary of English Surnames,and are found in Ireland.So wer'e talking
about two different families that are some Times confused.( YOU TOO).I
think this will be helpful after you think about it for a moment.Take
care,
