I think the little c is key.

There are also names that begin with Nc, rather than Mc.
But, I don't see any on this list that are NcJ

I've never encountered or seen an Nc-name before.
I wonder if many were changed to Mc's as folks went through Ellis Island and other immigration portals here in the US.
Weird things happened to other European names as well during that process.
Would they have been pronounced "Nic"Dermott?

Did any one think it was a little odd that a quilter would put their name in the middle of a quilt, rather than in a corner or back....IMHO the momogram in the center was the name of the person that the quilt was made For not made by....

No one knows of any ancestor with the initials NNJ. Thanks for your input. I wish I had a time machine and could visit with the lady who did this.
