"Conroy" seems to be a common name in the San Francisco Bay Area, with some persons being of local and current notoriety. I also am interested in learning about the tartan or county associated therewith, as I'm a descendant of that surname, but have no answers here. My paternal grandmother was a Conroy and an immigrant who married a Swedish immigrant. I'm assuming that "Conroy" is from the Latin, "with the king."
