Hello, My gg grandfather was Michael Conlin born in 1831 in Roscommon, Ireland. His parents were Thomas Conlin and Anne Doyle who were married in 1826 in Keadue, Roscommon. Michael had one sibling that I know of - Mary baptized in Keadue in 1836. Michael moved to Lanarkshire, Scotland where in 1855 he married Mary Nelson of Leitrim, Ireland in the Roman Catholic church in Coatbridge, Scotland. Their children were Ann, Thomas, John, Mary, Catherine, James, Bridget and Michael all born in either Coatbridge, Lanarkshire or Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. As you can see, the sibling names are very similar to those in your family. If your family originated in Roscommon, Ireland I suppose it's possible that my Michael and your Martin could have been cousins. I am descended from Michael and Mary's son, Thomas Conlin - I came to America with my parents and my siblings in 1956 when I was 18. I now live in NY State.
