hello, my Grandmothers ffamily were McNally coming from Ireland in the late 17700's
John McNally born 1763 left Longford co. and I believe emigrated to the USA and family moved into Canada
later. Looking for ancestors!

Barbara:
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Most Co. Longford RC parishes have records starting in the 1800s although two parishes start in the very late 1700s so I don't think there will be a baptismal record available for John.
I looked at the 1854 Griffiths Valuation head of household listings for Co. Longford and there were 49 McNally/Nally records. The one parish that had the most records was Killoe but you would need a lot more information to try to pinpoint where he came from in Longford. www.askaboutireland.ie for the Griffiths.
You may want to consider autosomal DNA testing. Perhaps you will match someone with McNally connections who has more info on the origins of the family in Longford.

Roger;
I had DNA testing with paternal and maternal haplogroup given.
The McNally connection is through my paternal grandmother and Dee is my paternal
Grandfather.Maternal is U5b3b and paternal is R1b1b2a1a2f*
Any connections with these haplogroups?

Some references to a McAnally family in Co Longford in the 1700's. They were a Church of Ireland family and very well connected by marriage into other leading families at that time.
Johncfarrell, I have just seen your note 1 year later! Oh my!
I am wondering if any of the McAnally family had a son named James or John?
My information shows James McInelly from co Longford emigrated to Vermont USA.
I suspect they were members of the church of Ireland, because in later years they were very
devout people.
Thanks Barbara
John, I am just seeing your response once again. Yes my ancestry had a son John and a son James.
They did move to Vermont where James had enlisted in the military.
Do you know of any McInellies living in Longford co?
And where is your surname from?
Hope to hear from you again!
Barbara
