My grandfather about 60 years ago started our genealogy. At the top he stated Stewart Family of Antrim. My problem is the farthest back I can get is Anthony born about 1700 somewhere in Ireland. In 1724 he is listed in Dunmuckrum Co Donegal as a landholder, he has 3 sons Robert(my line) Anthony and John born in that order. Since Anthony is not the normal first name was wondering if you came across any Anthony's. Did the Dna on my brother years ago and still no Stewart connection. Thanks for hearing me out.
