This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McCormick, McGuinnis or similar spellings Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WWC.2ACI/3742 Message Board Post: I have a thorough family tree of these Irish Americans, but am now looking for their Irish ancestors. Mary's maiden name has been spelled several ways: McGuiness, McGeniss, McGuiniss, etc. It is believed they sailed to Boston, because their first son, Patrick, was born near Stockbridge, Massachusetts in Feb 1835. I know my Irish McCormick and McGuinnis cousins are still there in Erie. When you identify yourselves I'll come over from California and buy you a pint of Guiness. Mike Larro No. California
