Hi, I got a question about my GGGGM Margaret McGonigle who had a mother named Eleanor McGonigle (? Maiden name). Emigration to North America from Donagheady Parish 1805-1871 (cotyroneireland.com)
| | | | Emigration to North America from Donagheady Parish 1805-1871 Emigration to North America from Donagheady Parish 1805-1871 Selected extracts taken from the Londonderry Journa... | | | This list a James and Margaret McGonigle who were siblings that emigrated to the USA in 1828. I was wondering if the original record may say 1826? I see a Margaret and James immigrate in 1826. Margaret married Henry A Kelly in 1827 in Washington County, Maryland. There is a James A McGonigle family that was also in Washington County at the same time but I have no DNA proof that I am related yet. My Kelly and McGonigle were Catholic. I haven't found any other records that tie my family to Ireland except that the US Census records state that Margaret McGonigle's parents were from Ireland. Henry's father was from Ireland and mother from Maryland. My cousins have a story about our Elder Kelly, they heard he was a wealthy land owner and the government seized his property. Not sure if this is true yet. I am not sure were to look yet. I tried to obtain Henry and Margaret's birth, baptism or death record but none are available before 1804. I will be trying to get Joseph Lewis Kellys death certificate if it is available from Maryland. Through searching through old bible records I did find the baptism records of Henry and Joseph's children. I have had a cousin Y haplo test done but requires more testing to get better matches and additional $200. Not sure if I want to do this yet since I was so disappointed with no results on the first level of Y hapo testing. I hope you can help. With kind regards, Meggie Abel
