Surnames: Finnin Doherty Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TCT.2ACEB/491 Message Board Post: My maiden name was Finnin. Elen Finnin was Patrick's mother. Timothy Doherty was his father. Margaret Finnin was a sponsor along with Denis Sweeny. I am trying to find out where my ancestor Timothy Finnin came from in Ireland. He immigrated to Pittsburgh PA USA in 1852. There seems to be a connection with the Dohertys & Finnins in other records also. Sometimes they have spelled Finnin as Finnen & Finnan. Carrie hgoue
