Surnames: Conlin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HgJ.2ACIB/85.91 Message Board Post: Do you know any further details. My Mom's maiden name is Conlin. She was told once that all Conlin's (withthat spelling) are related. Besides that we know nothing and no one seems to be left around to tell us. I know my maternal Grandfather was from Detroit and his parents owned some sort of store. There was a fire and his Mother died. His Father's lungs were so damaged that they moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan. There is a travel agency in Ann Arbor called Conlin, but I don't know if there is any relation. I have no idea what happened before or after that - outside my own close family.
