In what part of the world do you live now? I have been searching my Flinn line for many years. I have surmised for many years MY immigrant "Laughlin Flyn(abt.1690-1758)came from England rather than Ireland. Do you know how long the Flynne,Flynn,Flinn line has lived in England? Here in Southside Virginia, USA, the County clerks spelled the surnames phonically and sometime several different ways in a single document. Around 1790 there was a John Flynne in one document. And our name has been spelled Flyn, Flin,Flinn,Flynn,and Flynne in a number of records I have searched. Hope to hear from you, Irvin
