MAGINNIS FROM COUNTY DOWN, NORTHERN IRELAND |
Hi
Just found this site after about 3 years of researching my family tree. Very informative site and well done!!! Maybe I am being silly but I didn't see our Maginnis spelling on your site, please correct me if I'm wrong? Our Scottish connection goes back to about the 1880's when my Great Grand Father James Maginnis lived in Dalmellington in Ayr and worked in the mines. He and his wife Sarah (nee Greenan) moved to Scotland when his children were young and must have stayed while there was plenty of work. Our other connection with Scotland is that his son, my Grand Father married a Scottish girl, Rose Hutchinson in 1915. Rose's parents were both Irish but lived in Dalmellington or Rutherglen where they raised there family during the 1870s and 1880s. All reports show that both families worked in the mine at Dalmellington. Would love to know if anyone has any information or connection with this line of our family. My Dad, Patrick Joseph was actually born in Dalmellington as well before his family returned to Co Down to settle inthe late 1920s. I can get as far back as my Great Great Grandfather Murtagh Maginnis but I only know his name as it is shown on the birth record for James Maginnis, my Great GrandFather who was born in 1835 in County Down. If anyone has any information or can point me in the right direction I would be really grateful. Wishing you all the best for the future, Pattie |

Help offered and McInnes cover on Posterity Post |
|
Great to see the site flourishing and lots of McInnes ilk with an interest in their heritage. Check out www.posteritypost.com it has a McInnes cover that you can select when you write a letter for posterity to future generations. If someone from the Clan Society would like to get in touch I can have this set up so a contribution goes to the society when anyone uses the McInnes cover.... and to help the Society. I have quite a bit on McInnes's from Skye and if anyone wants to get in touch please do so.

Hello |
|
Hello My name is Lisa I am just starting out trying to figure out my family history. I know very very little. What I do know is My father's mother's madien name is Mckinney her brother's name is Cleon Mckinney with more ancestor's further up our tree that are from scottland and that when they left Scottland they came to America sometime in the 1700's ?? & that they settled in North Carolina that is as much info I have so far. Before my Grandma & Great-Grandma passed I somewhat remember them telling me stories of our family history. I also know that there is a long history of musicans throughout my family. It is a huge herditary trait to love music and either sing or play an instrument in my family. After reading the Macinnes history I feel it in my heart I am on to something here. Since I was a small child I have always been drawn to the scottish culture as I got older I always wondered deep in my heart why am i so drawn to everything scottish. Everything that I have ever heard seen or known that has to do with scottland just captures my heart and attention. The music, food, kilts, bagpipes stories,legands, history etc you name it I am drawn to it deep within my heart & soul. I have always felt such a strong connection to the scottish culture/ heritage even before I ever knew anything about my bloodline is it possible to feel where you come from on such a deep level? I am so needing help to figure out how to know for sure where I come from & how to confirm what I believe I have always known in my heart that I am scottish. Most of my father's relatives I either don't know their names or they are decessed like I said I have no clue where to even start. if it is possible I would love some tips on how to begin. Would it or is it possible just to get a DNA test or is that maybe hard to dertimine if i am so far down the bloodline. Please if anyone knows where I should start I could use all the help I can get. |

My McInnis Family |
My MacInnises of Castle Bay, Shenacadie and Iona are descended from Rory McInnis of Barra. His sons, Michael, Neil, Donald and Rory, and one daughter, the second wife of hector McNeil (John Piper) of Piper’s Cove, came to this country. The sons came about the year 1817. Michael and Neil settled at Castle Bay: Donald at Benacadie, and Rory at Iona.
It appears that they were shipwrights and that they used to work at their trade in Glasgow and in other parts of Scotland, hence the appellation, “Saor”, or carpenter that was generally used after their surnames. An adz that “Rory Saor” worked with in the old country is still doing service among his descendents at Iona.
Michael McInnis was married to Catherine Galbraith. Issue: John, Donald, Stephen, Neil, Mary and Sarah.
Stephen McInnis (Michael) was a blacksmith and farmer. He settled at Shenacadie and became the first post-master of that place. He married Mary, daughter of Jonathon McPhee (Tailor) Issue: Ann, Catherine, John, Michael, Mary, Lucy, Elizabeth, Ambrose and Sarah.
Ann married Joseph Bryden, Miller.
Catherine Married Stephen M. McKinnon.
John settled at Shenacaide and married Margaret McDonald (Ealasaid Thearlaich) = (*Elizabeth Thearlich), of McKinnon’s Harbour. Issue: Liza, Mary Ann, Sarah, Stephen Alex, Mary M., Sarah M. and Christie. A number of these were school teachers and Stephen Alex is a telegraph operator in Alberta.
Michael settled at North Sydney where he was in the employ of the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Col for a long time.
Lucy Married Alex McSween, of Glasgow.
Elizabeth married Archie N. McKinnon, of Big Beach.
Sarah married Hugh Farrell, merchant, Benacadie.
Ambrose settled in the old homestead and married a daughter of Donald McKinnon (Niel), of Shenacadie. Issue: Stephen, Mary Agnes, Flora and Daniel. Stephen is telegraph operator at George’s River. Flora is married to a McNeil from Gillis Point, and lives in Sydney.
I have more family information. |

McInnis Family Lot 36 PEI |
|
My great grandmother was Ann McInnis born around 1864 (died 1963) on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Her father was Allan McInnis (born on PEI around 1828) and her mother was Mary Flynn from Newfoundland. I haven't had any success going beyond Allan McInnis. Any PEI researchers out there? Anne's siblings from 1881 census are: Mary, James, Allan, Bridget, Kate, Francis, and Sarah Catherine. I am happy to discover Scottish ancestry to go with my Irish background. |

MacInnis from Meaford, Ontario |
|
Does anyone know of the MacInnis family in Meaford, Ontario who owned fishing boats. Names were Stanley, Frank and Father was Duncan. Dad always told me that his ancestors originated from Iona, Scotland. Went on a trip to Iona in 1985, unfortunately after he had died. It was wondering and saw many grave marking with the MacInnis name on them., Glad to have found this site. |

McKinney Side of the Family |
Greetings,
I have many connections to the McKinney families of the Carolinas and Tennessee/VA areas. I would also like to know why the name was changed to McKinney. Also a researcher in our family said our original name was MacKynnye. I did not see anything like this in your information. Our folk are from the Isl. of Sky, Mull and Iona.
Any info would be appreciated. |

I'm Confused! |
Ok here goes. My last name is Holland and I'm trying to find out if it is associated with a clan out there... I'm getting too many conflicting answers. HELP!? I've read that Holland is associated with the Angus district as well as that sept or clan, which ever it is (told you I was confused), and now I've found that your clan is linked to the name Angus. Do you know whether or not the Holland surname is also linked to your clan?
Any help in understanding all this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time

My grandfather was Daniel MacInnes |
|
My grandfather was born in Calais, ME on 2/3/1866. His father was James MacInnes born in Edinboro, Scotland and his mother Mary A. Boyle or Ellen were born in Scotland also. Daniel married my grandmother, Lydia Burdett on 4/24/1892 in Providence, RI and died in Winthrop, ME on 6/23/1920. The had 14 children (some died at birth). They were Arthur Donald, Charles Albert, Daniel Webster, Harold Wilfred, Flora Louise, Clarence John, James Ralph, Gladys Louise, Robert Francis, Hugh Warren, Florence Grace, Dorothy Margaret, Lester Theodore, Martha Alice and Catherine Mae. All with the last name MacInnes. Sometime the spelling of the last name was recorded wrong. ALso shows McInnes, McInis and MacInis. Does any of this sound familiar |

Macinnes of Harris |
|
Hi to all the Macinnes clan out there. I'm researching my grandfather's (Duncan born 1901) family and have got back as far my great, great, great, grandfather, Donald who was born circa 1800 and his wife, Christina (aka Christy aka Cristy Macdonald) and I've hit a brick wall!!! From what I've managed to find out Donald was alive when the 1861 census was completed but dead before his wife died in November 1865 (at Rhenigidale, Harris). Christina's parents were Duncan Macdonald and Marion Macleod. I know that a whole lot of Macinnes's went to Nova Scotia and from there on to Australia and NZ but any help on the Macinnes's who stayed home would be very much appreciated. (I myself was born in Fort William, Scotland but have been living in NZ for about 16 years). Any help would be soooo much appreciated, even if I could track down any of Donald's siblings, that would be awesome. Cheers |

Looking for more info that goes further back... |
My children and I are so happy to have found this site. I do plan on joining in the future. This is the information on herritage that I have so far:
1st generation: Charles McKinnis and Rachel Carr
2nd generation: James McKinnis, b 1807 d 1896, Lucy Wickham
3rd generation: Creighton McKinnis b 17 Jan 1833, d. 28 May 1916. Malinda Barrett b 23 Feb, 1837, d. 2 Jan 1893
4th generation: Francis Marion McKinnis, b Dubuque County, Iowa, 25 June 1858, d, Medford, OR, 16 July 1927, heart attack which the family labeled "catarrh of the stomache", buried in Ashland Cemetery
5th generation:William Creighton McKinnis, b Willows, Colusa County, CA, 25 September1887 d 1957 Medford OR - stroke. (Myrtle, Joanne, Ralph, William Glen, Lowell, Ethelyn, Carl )
6th generation: William Glen McKinnis
7th generation: Jeffrey Scott McKinnis
Jeffrey Scott was my father. There are quite a few of us out here on the west coast of the USA now, Dad had two bothers and 1 sister, so I have many cousins, and I also have a brother and sister from my father. I would like more info on Charles and his history. It is all so wonderful when we learn more. It is good to remember where we come from and keep our traditions alive. |

I do a lot of Coll research and just MIGHT be able to help. I visit the island as often as possible and have been in touch with other McInnes/Coll descendants. I am 'struggling' initially with your Q, mainly because of the many McInnes spelling variations. What is the source of your 1876 Totamor birth?

Family Spelling McInnis |
My family name should be McInnis but a mistake was made on my Father's Birth Certificate, hence the "Mac".
I have traced my family tree back to the early 1800's--John McInnis born Jan. 1, 1825 from Islay, Scotland (deceased March 1980, married to Elizabeth Matheson. |

Margaret McInnis Hanger |
|
Hello! I have been doing my family tree and have traced the McInnis family back to John McInnis, 1815-1887 in Owen Sound, Canada. His son was Donald, 1859-1917. His son was Peter, 1880-1957. Peter was my grandfather. He came to Luce County Michigan and became a US citizen. My father, Donald, 1907-1977 had six children: Donald, Mary Alice, Margaret, David, Tom, and Gary. I am interested in any information on this branch of the McInnis family. The first McInnis to come to Canada was Margasret Millan McInnis, a widow with several children. |

Kilt Pleating |
|
My eldest son and I are ordering tartan kilts to be made for his wedding next year and I'm "confused" to know which pleating to request for the MacInnes (Ancient Hunting 1464) tartan. For years as Dir.of Music for 48th Highlanders of Canada (Toronto) I wore the Davidson Tartan which had a "knife military" pleat. Any suggestions, or even better, photos of our clan tartan pleats? |

Eager to find out more about this branch of my family tree. Although, in typical American fashion, I am a mix of several rich cultures - but the Celtic part I find most identity. I have attended several Celtic faires and games here in California. My brother in the San diego area told me about the site. It is terrific!!! |

Hello from Scotland |
Just came across this site, hugely interesting how far spread the family seems to be. My family originates from Barra in the Western Isles where there are a few MacInnes cousins thriving. I would be interested to hear from anyone originating from the Barra/Eriskay/South Uist region who may be related. Also have strong links with MacIntyre/MacLean.
Keep up the good work to all concerned with the site... |

My husband and I recently attended the Estes Park Colorado Scottish / Irish Festival. We stopped by the McInnes Clan booth and I was thrilled to learn about the history of my family name "McGinnis". While there I met several other McGinnis' who were also impressed with the amount of information available to us by Scot McInnes and the organization. Thanks for all the hard work. |

Hello |
|
As an Austin, I was naturaly born into the Keith clan. Howver, On one bloodline from my grandmothers side, I traced my heritage back to the year of 1090 in Scotland. If my research is correct, I'm related to an "Earl of Angus, Dufugan who was born in that year - 1090. Then his son, (I think) Earl of Angus, Gillbride born in the year 1118? But I'm not sure if that is completely correct. Just the same, it seems that no matter which bloodline I trace back, they all started somewhere in Scotland. |

I have come across two similar stories of the dispersal of McMasters by the McLeans, one in the Mclean and other histories dating the event around 1432 and in the MacInnes history putting it at around 1335. Does anyone know whether these are mutually exclusive or which is the correct date and story.
Have tramped around Ardgour in the past and hope to do so again soon armed with a list of additional things to seek out.

Relatives in Bowmore, Islay |
Jane MacInnes, born in Bowmore, Islay 1838, is my great grandmother.
I would very much like to contact anyone in North America who might be related.
In the 1960's a Paul MacInnes, who had an engineering business in Rochester, NY, visited Bowmore. The Business is still operating with the MacInnes name in Rochester but Paul sold it to the current owner's Father and they had no contact. I interpolate that Paul was my Fathers generation (born 1897). |

McGinnis |
So, I am adopted but have always been linked with my birth mother and never my birth father but my adoptive mom says his last name is McKinley or something like that. But my Biological father had the name of McGinnis. Today, I went to the Highland games located in Northeast Florida and found out that my grandfather's last name is traced to the MacInnes. I'm really excited about all this and plan to trace down more family with this discovery. Now all I have to get is to find my birth father and track down that bloodline.  |

Going Home for a visit |

We are very excited that in July 2010 we are going to Iona for a visit almost 150 years after our great great grandfather John Macinnes left with his wife and family to start a new life in Australia. There are many descendants in Australia from this family and hopefully we will be able to make contact with our distant cousins who still live on Iona. We will be touring around other parts of Scotland too. Can't wait! |

Writing for my loving wife Kimberly. She is a MacInnes (Mother Mary MacInnes and grandparents Archie and Etty MacInnes from Greenock). We try to visit across the pond and thru the mist at least once a year. Her cousin Elizabeth lives in Greenock, and with her cousin, we have been exploring heritage, since they are the last of the direct family linkage. Found some ancestry in Campbellton. |

Am I of Clan MacInnes? |
|
Hello! I've always been told that 'Mitchell' is somehow related to Clan MacInnes and I'd like to find out much more about this connection. I see that there is also a 'Clan Mitchell' but know very little about that. I'm just now doing my research -- great to find this site! |

Angus Family Name |
|
My maternal grandfather was William Warren Angus (1878-1961). Several people have his ancestry linked back to Donegal Ireland and Galloway Scotland but with an interesting twist. The family name Ewing is used in place of Angus in several family trees and yet there is no explanation for this. Does anyone have a clue if Ewing is a derivation of Angus as is MacInnes? This site has awesome information by the way! Thanks very much!! |

First trip to Scotland 2010 |
Hello Clan friends,
My family is McAnsh - and from what I've been able to determine we are of the MacInnes Clan. We are traveling to Scotland in July 2010 to explore and learn about our history. My fathers parents were born in Falkirk and we are starting there to try and find relatives and friends. Feel free to visit my website on facebook is you're in that area so we can meet and enjoy a beverage.
Cheers, |
