Hello Listers; I am engaging in a great leap of faith here. I would like to contact any Mackays from Antrim Co. My 3rd Gr Grandfather, James Mackey b1773 Antrim Parish, d1853 USA. He changed his name from MACKAY to MACKEY whilst in school. He and his wife ELIZABETH TIPPIN/G emigrated to the US in about 1831 or 1832 with 5(?) children. As far as I know, he was the only one of his family to change his name. I don't know if he had any siblings. His father was THOMAS MACKAY m ELIZABETH TATE. A MACKAY contact would sure be wonderful, Thank You, Lorin Mackey Canada

Lorin; I too am in search of McKAY from Co.Antrim. Mine were from Belfast. James McKAy married Margaret HATTON, around 1900 or so, in St. Paul's RC Church. They lived on Malcomsome Street. It doesn't appear we have a connection here though. Maybe someone else can connect with our McKAY's.
