I find them first in 1850 in West Troy (Albany Co) and then over in Troy in subsequent years. Patrick and Bridget are the parents and in one of the state censuses is says she had 16 children but so far I have only found three, possible four: Mary Ann (my ggrandmother), Edward, Michael and maybe Rose.<BR/><BR/>Michael is the youngest born in Ireland ca 1848. My baby book says they come from 'Connaught' which is a providence on the West Coast of Ireland. The only McEntees I have found there are in Co. Mayo, however, the RC records are missing for the years I need.<BR/><BR/>I have not found any passenger records, and given the many bad spellings for this surname, it isn't much of a surprise.ConnorsGenealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119940366640277141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-56094378277636293832008-03-01T21:13:00.000-06:002008-03-01T21:13:00.000-06:00Randy!!!!!!!!!!!

I know the history behind the Mc and Mac prefixes; one would thinkg it would have come to me long before now! <BR/><BR/>Thanks LOL.<BR/><BR/>And Thomas, your entry was very interesting. Good luck and keep posting; we'll be reading!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303607041752275445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-39525004620299507822008-02-29T09:46:00.000-06:002008-02-29T09:46:00.000-06:00I was going to say the exact, same thing as Randy:...I was going to say the exact, same thing as Randy: sounds like it's time for you to get that Y-DNA test!<BR/><BR/>My husband and father were both tested through FTDNA earlier this year. We're still sorting through the results, but it's certainly been interesting. I've even become a project coordinator for my surname since it's fairly rare and doesn't seem to fit with any of the established projects (figures).<BR/><BR/>You still need that good, old-fashioned paper trail, but I can say that these results have definitely opened my eyes to some possibilities we hadn't really considered.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the ride!Elizabeth O'Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191827688514996520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-3003813179265466682008-02-28T21:34:00.000-06:002008-02-28T21:34:00.000-06:00Good luck with your preparations and your trip - I...Good luck with your preparations and your trip - I think that you will enjoy the search and hopefully the results.<BR/><BR/>An observation about Mc and Mac names in the census - I have found that Ancestry often indexes them without the Mc or Mac - like Entee rather than MacEntee. Also sometimes they are indexed as M'Entee when the c in Mc has been raised above the line. <BR/><BR/>Of course, you could really prove the common Mc/MacEntee ancestry by doing a Y-DNA test on yourself and a male from the Mc line. But that might take the fun out of it, I guess.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy -- RandyRandy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-2400533142615126842008-02-28T20:57:00.000-06:002008-02-28T20:57:00.000-06:00I'm really looking forward to learning more about ...I'm really looking forward to learning more about your research...I agree totally about the Ancestry transcriptions, they can be terrible.<BR/><BR/>I have had a fair bit of trouble with my Dutchess County McCords, so really am interested in your approach and what you deduced etc.<BR/><BR/>It's wonderful to have a week of research fervor as you describe, isn't it?
