Looking for marriage or Thomas McDunn & Frances McDunn in co. Westmeath, circa 1800-1810. They migrate to Canada circa 1832-1833. Born to them is Rose, about 1812.

Alberto thanks for posting the link to the Irish Geogenealogy map.  I found it very helpful in defining my family line.  : )

Apologies Bob, I leant on the wrong key before completing my writing:)

 

Thomas Quinn c1856, his wife Elizabeth c1885, 1 child not living at the time of the census and could be a first born looking at dates after marriage.  Then son James c1895, daughter Bridget c1891, Frank c1893, daughter Mary born Enniscorthy 15/1/1897 died 1988 Berkshire UK - married to Harry Piper born Long Melford Suffolk UK (my grandparents).

 

I haven't as yet looked in to the cost of DNA and although I see if offered on various websites, unsure which is the best way to go.  Any suggestions appreciated.  cheers Carol

Hi Bob Quinn

 

thanks for the contact:)  In response to your question on DNA - this isn't something I have ventured in to as yet.  I have attended a presentation on this topic and have read some articles on it which I found really interesting.  Could definitely be the way to go a bit down the track when I really get into this side of the family.

From the 1911 Census:

Thomas Quinn c1856

Jim, I don't know what's available across the pond for DNA testing, but I used familytreedna.com to test my brother.  You would join the Hart family group to order & there should be a Hart group administrator who can advise you as to which test.  Their test kit includes 3 cheek swabs and you would give them your earliest known ancestor info, sign a waiver giving them permission to publish results on the site, and when your results are available they send matches to you showing contact email addresses for those matches.  As I understand it, you can post your results to other DNA test sites to seek matches.  Hope this helps, Martha

I am wondering if anyone has South Texas family connections with the names:  HART, QUINN, WALKER, McKINNEY, CRAVEN, PRIOUR or CROW.  The time line for Bee and San Patricio Counties, Texas would be 1828-1870 or so.  Most were either colonists or married to colonists of the McMULLEN & McGLOIN colonies.

There were quite a few QUINN surnamed families who settled in South Texas during the very lat 1820's and very early 1830's on Mexican land grants as members of the POWERS & HEWITSON and McMULLEN & McGLOIN colonies.  These QUINN surnamed families settled in what is now San Patricio and Bee Counties.  At least some of the QUINN surnamed familes came from County Clare.  William QUINN, husband of my 3rd Great Grand Aunt, Bridget HART, was martyred at the Massacre at Goliad, 19 March 1836.

Hello Robert:

My husband's line has Quinns from Armagh - A James Quinn born 1782 in Tanderagee, Co. Armagh - Immigrated to Canada before 1852. Children's names that I have found are Elizabeth (my husband's connection), Daniel, John, James, Fanny and Ann - any connections.
