JoAnn I remember replying to your initial message as I too have McQuades from Tyrone. I told you what I knew of mine, and asked for more information and also asked if you had taken a DNA test, but heard no further. I am sure you will find the advice Elwyn and Ed have given you will be useful and wish you luck in your searches. I hope you will post your findings here as I am always interested to hear about McQuades/ McQuaids. Dorothy
