Diana Goulet left a comment for Jim Avery"Thanks Jim--I was just in Borris and actually walked the old family farm which was quite a treat, so if she has any Quinns in that area, or in Quebec, I would be very anxious to hear from here."
Jim Avery left a comment for Diana Goulet"Hi Diana - thanks for responding. I actually do have a friend who has done a lot of Quinn research. I told her you were here on genealogywise. So maybe she will be in touch with you."

Quinn/Byrne/Kavanagh (or Cavanagh) in County Carlow
I am researching my ggggrandparents, Terence Quinn and Mary Byrne from Borris Townland, RC parish of Borris, civil parish of Clonygoose (or Clonagoose). I believe he was a farmer. Mary died before 1846, and I believe that Terence died before 1855.Terence and Mary had sons baptized in Borris Church in 1810 (Peter) and 1813 (Michael), and there were at least three other children. Five of the sons emigrated to Canada beginning c1825 and settled in St. Anicet Parish, Quebec. It is probable that all…See More

Patricia Quinn said… - I have a Terrance Quinn, but he was from Donegal. He died in about 1777, and is buried in the Drumhome graveyard. I have not found any family in Carlow yet - 90% of my Irish families came from Down, Donegal, Tyrone, and a few in Belfast. But who knows? we may find the connection yet!

- Diana - I am a Quinn. My family comes from Leghowney and Ballintra area of Donegal. My g-g-grandfather was John Patrick Quinn, born 1780 in Leghowney, and my g-g-grandmother was Bridget Nancy Murphy, born abt. 1790 in Leghowney. John passed away at about 103 years old; Bridget died at around 75. They are both buried in the Ballintra Graveyard.
My father's mother was Lillian Frances Maltais. She was born 21 Jan. 1882 in Quebec. I have hundreds of names from Quebec and the Perche' region of France, dating back to the 1500's. I am also descended from the Charbonneau family - Eleonore Charbonneau was my g-g-grandmother.
Please contact me!
