McGallion In Ireland

My ancestors came to the States in the 1700's from Ireland but I do not know where in Ireland they came from. I am trying to find out and would like to connect with anyone in Ireland with the name or who knows something about the name. I have found historical references to the name in Dublin, Tipperary, Galway, Antrim, Donegal and Londonderry but have not been able to connect with living persons. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Am also trying to locate distant relatives in Ireland and elsewhere through Y-DNA testing.

Welcome Bruce!

www.rootsireland.ie/ has 999 McGallion baptism records from 1719 (1 only) then 1764 to 1921 (including surname variants); main counties they are from (pre-1800) are Donegal & Antrim. Do you need a search for the baptisms of those who emigrated? If so, post back with a few first names & we can have a look.

There are 6 McGallion marriage records before 1800 & 3 deaths

I had a look in the irish phone book for the surname but there were none I'm afraid.
