His McConnell children included John, William, Joseph, Mary Jane, Samuel, Rachel, Thomas, Esther and Ann. John settled in Centre Co., PA. His widow and family moved to Clarion Co., PA. William moved to Bourbon Co., KY. Samuel went with him. Mary Jane marr. Thomas Milliken and some, not all, of her children settled in Greene Co., PA. Rachel married David Beale and lived in Juniata Co., PA. Thomas went to Logan Co., KY. and many of his children moved to Illinois after his death. Ann also went to Logan Co., KY and died there shortly after Thomas' death. Esther married twice and I am not sure where she went, yet. Joseph McConnell left Pennsylvania about the same time as William, but he settled in Blount Co., Tenn. Some of his children stayed in Tenn. and some went to Iowa, Missouri, California. I hope this informa! tion can help you decide if your McConnell may be connected, or not. I have only a couple of books left.

I think that some of these folks have compared notes with you in the past, but I'm not really sure. It would probably make sense at this point to compare notes again, and I could help them get in touch with you if desired. This family suspects a connection to an Alexander McConnell that they think came from Dumfries, Scotland, and some other DNA matches seem to support a Dumfries origin for them. I am interested because I have another McConnell family, and have been working with McConnell researchers in the project to help us all with our DNA research.

Joan, Have you looked for your McConnell who was born in Glasgow in the census records for Scotland? Or in the vital records available at scotlandspeople.com? (or is it .org.....I forget) Depending on his birth date, you may find him in one or more census reports. The church he attended may also be able to give you some information. Even if the church is not in existence now, the records will be kept somewhere.....if not in another church, then at the regional headquarters. It took me some time to track down the records for my grandfather's family but it was well worth it. The baptismal records for the children had the birth place of the parents. If you don't have access to the census reports for Scotland, email me and I'll try to help you.

Liz, I did some research on this couple a few years ago for one of their descendants. Are you a descendant? Most of the information on this family comes from the Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Volumes IV, Ohio and VI, Virginia by William Wade Hinshaw: Vol. VI, Virginia, p. 600, Crooked Run Monthly Meeting, Warren County, VA: "3 October 1787 - James M'Connel, Frederick Co., VA, son of Morris and Elizabeth, Tirone Co., Ire.: married at public meeting at Stafford, Rachel ANTRAM, daughter of Daniel and Susannah, Stafford Co., VA." This could be interpreted in different ways. Some contributors online seem to think that James was born in Ireland, which could very well be true. Others claim he was born in Virginia. Until more proof is found, I take it to mean only that he was living in Frederick County, VA at the time of his marriage to Rachel, not that he was born there. There are a lot of Quaker records online. You may be able to find more information at one of those sites. Hope this helps.

It's very exciting to have Claudia's brother in the project for a couple of reasons. One is that although he was not tested through the project, Claudia has found it and has the opportunity to look for matches within it. The other reason his joining the project is so exciting is that he joins a nice little group of men on the R1b Red table for the project. This is the group of relatives of the kings of the old kingdom of Dalriada. This group is fairly large, with 56 members, plus another 14 in 2 subgroups created from the group. Currently, there are 3 McConnell men in that group and 2 MacConnell men in that group, and they are all more closely related to each of the other 4 than they are to anyone else in the group. It's probable that the five men share a common ancestor born within the last 15 generations. Claudia's brother is also a close match for a man who was tested through the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation (SMGF), and that man traces his line to Oneida County, New York. I don't know where Rodricks is in Canada, but Oneida County is not so very far from the Canadian border. Claudia would love to get in touch with any of these 5 matching men as soon as possible. The project administrators may or may not have e-mail addresses for the 4 men in the project; I don't know about that. So they may or may not be able to put her in touch with them. It's very unlikely that they would be able to help her get in touch with the family of George Lansing McConnell of Oneida County, NY, since that George is the ancestor of the man tested through SMGF. Does anybody out there know how Claudia might get in touch with any of these men? The 4 in the project are K. G. G. McConnell, J. MacConnell, F. G. MacConnell, and M. B. McConnell. We don't have initials for the SMGF participant, but do know that he descends from George Lansing McConnell of McConnellsville in Oneida County, NY. Claudia, thanks for the kind words.

Robin, it's wonderful that you will be sharing information from the parish registers. For some McConnell researchers, that information may be enough for them to make a breakthrough. It may also be helpful to other McConnell researchers who might suspect a relationship to a family in those records, but might need DNA results to help them break through their brick wall. It would be neat if somebody from your McConnell line could also be tested, if none have been tested already. Your e-mail address suggests that you are from New Zealand. If that is so, you might find it quite economical to pay for a test with New Zealand dollars, which have done well against the US dollar for a few years now. It's good to point out that your surname may have been spelled differently in the past. The Clan Donald Project results tables show that related men often have different variants of the surname. The last time I noticed one of those, it was for an R. C. McConnell in the R1b Yellow subgroup of the project (not to be confused with Robert C. McConnell in the R1a Red subgroup or Robert's match R. C. McConnell in that R1a Red subgroup) and a Connell who participated in the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation study. I hope that more men who were tested outside FTDNA will join the project, so that they and their matches have a better chance of finding each other and collaborating.

Hello I am researching the origins of my great grandfather Henry Scott McConnell born c. 1839-1842 possibly in County Antrim, Ireland Henry's father was Scott McConnell Henry McConnell married Anne McCain/McKain 1863 in County Donegal. Anne was born 1838-1842. Her parents were John McCain/McKain and Anne Creswell. Henry and Anne McConnell arrived in America between 1864 and 1867, possibly from Londonderry to Philadelphia aboard the SS Stadcona. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I have been unable to find any further information on their early life in Ireland. Thanks very much Lyn

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: ksaxe Surnames: McConnell Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.mcconnell/2507/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Jean and Joan, You are right about the difficulties many of us face finding male line descendants to participate in projects like the Clan Donald DNA Project. I was able to find one McConnell cousin who is pretty closely related to me rather easily, but finding another cousin from the line to confirm it took more time. I have the same problem that you have with your McConnells on a few of my other lines. My maternal grandfather and his brother were the last of their male line, and they both died before the era of DNA testing for genealogy. The story with some of my other families is similar. I have taken a look at my family tree and given some thought as to which of my relatives have the most unique DNA contributions from our ancestors, and this has helped me prioritize my DNA testing expenditures. Because ordering multiple DNA tests is not cheap, I am also working on collecting DNA samples from some family members that could be tested later, when I have saved up some money and when prices may be cheaper and other tests become available. It is possible to buy kits to use for saving samples, and you can even save samples taken by swabbing the inside of a relative's mouth with several Q-tips. I was told that 10 Q-tips would yield a sample large enough for multiple tests. Such samples should be stored in a clean paper bag in a dark, dry place for optimal preservation. Jean, since your aunt is the granddaughter of your McConnell ancestor, approximately one fourth of her autosomal DNA is from him, and approximately one fourth of her autosomal DNA is from each of her other grandparents. If other relatives of your aunt can be found and tested, you might be able to learn something about which portions of her DNA were inherited from her McConnell family. If members of your McConnell family that you can't connect with a paper trail were also tested, then you might be able connect using DNA results. There will probably be more helpful and affordable autosomal DNA tests available during the next few years, making this sort of testing involving multiple family members practical for many of us.

My gg grandfather, James Alexander McConnell, was born in Rodricks, Canada in 1846 (according to Death Certificate). His parents, George and Elizabeth (Willis) were born in Ireland. I know James immigrated to US in 1864 and ended up in Austin, TX, by 1883. This past Christmas, I had my brother send in DNA to Ancestry.com. I have to say that I was very disappointed - the results were confusing and told me nothing I could understand. Fortunately, I contacted Kirsten (she has contributed to this thread), and she has helped me immensely. With her help, I submitted my brother's DNA to the Clan Donald project and we shall see what develops there. Bottom Line: If you are fortunate enough to have the relative to send in a DNA sample for testing, don't be afraid to ask for help!! People like Kirsten really understand the results and can help us negotiate through the web of daunting information. Meanwhile, I read (and enjoy) all the McConnell postings and hold the hope of finding a clue to my McConnell ancestry.
