We are a "Scots-Irish" family. Our Scottish ancestors emigrated from Scotland to Northern Ireland and spent some 100 years there before coming to America during Colonial times. Mac is Gaelic for son (of) and was used in both Scotland and Ireland. In Scotland, names such as MacTaggart are now often abbreviated, taking a form such as McTaggart. The prefixes Mac and Mc are prevalent in both countries. Though not common, there are still McTaggarts in Scotland. In Ireland, the name could have easily been Mac Taggart. Apparently, the Mac was dropped, a very prevalent practice, and the name became simply Taggart, a comparatively common Irish name. Whether GWT descendants are related to any given Taggart family can only be established through research. It is fascinating to consider, however, that we are surely related to numerous cousins spread around the world today through distant common ancestors.

Goodrich Family Organization. We are pleased to provide convenient access to this GWT family site. From the website: "Albert Gardner Goodrich was born May 1, 1871, in Mt. Carmel, Kane County, Utah. His father was George Albert Goodrich, his mother Harriet Maria Taggart Goodrich." Harriet Maria was the first child of GWT and Fanny Parks and was named for GWT's first wife, Harriet Atkins Bruce, who died too young at just 23, in Nauvoo. All Taggarts will enjoy this website, and we hope some will be inspired to pursue similar efforts for other branches of the family.​
