Is there a reason that there are two separate DNA projects for "Walsh" and "Welch"?It is my understanding that they have the same origin.And it appears that there was inconsistency in their usage before 1900. (Spelling of surnames was often phonetic prior to the 1900s.With the Irish pronunciation and accents, the name was recorded in different ways depending on who said it and who wrote it.) I've seen records with Welch and Welsh and Walsh for family members.In fact, I have a grandfather who was baptized with one name and died with another.
