Dead End? - McGuinn Family Line to McGinnis

 Roger,

Thank you for finding more information. I also did receive some more information about Luke.  I have done DNA testing but from what I am seeing that my DNA pulled more from my Great Grandmother’s side who were from Great Britain.  (I did this through Ancestry.com) My father also did this and pulled mainly from my grandmother who is from Spain.  My mother past away back in 2010 so I am trying to just connect the pieces as best as I am able.   I did get one reply on Ancestry giving me this information:

“I have, with the help of a genealogist in Ireland, located the exact townland Luke McGuinn of Co. Sligo came from in 1845. This is the Luke McGuinn who married Bridget Jordan in 1850 and built a farm in Harveysburg, OH. He was from the townland of Bunnacranagh, near Curry, in Achonry Parish. His father, William McGuinn, is listed as living there in 1825 along with William's two brothers, Patrick and John McGuinn. Furthermore, some of William's sons and grandsons are still listed as residents in the 1901 Census for the Curry area. Bunnacranagh is a little southeast of Curry.”

When I searched the XO Chronicles, I couldn’t find anything with the name.

Thank you Roger for helping and assisting me with this trail of things to do!

Hi Michelle, I am not sure if you still use this but i am a McGuinn myself, live in Blackburn UK. My dad was David McGuinn, His dad was Terence McGuinn, his Dad was Thomas McGuinn who married a lilly Paynter.

I am very confused on the family tree. Ive traced my G grandfather to curry, Sligo, Ireland. I thought originally that he had a sister mary, brother patrick, brother samuel and a brother michael and a sister hanoria. But i think ive done it all wrong, as after much more research it seems my g grandfather thomas had a brother luke

LUKE BORN 1888 (1911 LUKE DIED?)
THOMAS BORN 1890 / MARRIED IN 1922 TO PAYNTER / DIED 1947

CHARLES BORN BORN 1895
CATHERINE BORN 1899

ROSE BORN 1906 / MARRIED 1928
HENERY BORN 1909

an their parents where luke and mary who where born in ireland but im not entirely sure! if you could shed some light that would be great!

Hi is there a chance that any male line in the McGuinn line has taken a Y-dna test to determine their haplogroup. I am looking for my Gwinn/Guinn ancestors, we think they may have come from the Mayo/Sligo area because we have been identified as FGC23742 (others have gone further downstream of this SNP). What we dont have is a connection to Ireland or anyone from there who have taken any y dna tests.

Hi I don't know if you've found what you're searching for or not but I've recently been looking on the internet out of curiosity about my family. My name is Liam McGuinn my fathers name is Andrew McGuinn and my Grandads name is John Patrick McGuinn he was born in the county Sligo area of Ireland. There is still a lot of family in that part of Ireland I know it might be a shot in the dark but maybe they can help you with any information of our family. It would be great to be able to meet more of my extended family from around the world. Take care and I hope you find what you are looking for. Liam
 

My name is Andrew McGuinn. My family tells me that we trace back to Sligo. I,too, am trying to find the connection. They settled in Polk County in Western North Carolina. My father is Daniel McGuinn. My grandfather is Wayne McGuinn. My great grandfather is Claude McGuinn and his father (my great great grandfather) was Alexander McGuinn. My DNA test also traces to Sligo.
