Thank you for all of your hard work. Is there any possibility Bridget was born in Navan Meath?  I have seen it in a tree but with no records to confirm.

Do you mean Bridget Leonard (nee McGuinness)?

I keep getting confused with the names  ::)

She was born in Mayo

You wanted to find the children of James Mcguinness who married Katherine Leonard.Ballinloobaun Mayo.
  missing 2/3 of them.

You had

bridget,
john,
kathleen,
mary,
Michael and
Patrick joseph.

I found Ann

So my questions are....

What did you have on them ?

Did they leave Ireland?

Did you have Sources for them?

How did you know one or two were missing??

You believed   James McGuinness was born 1831 Where did that come from??

It would seem that this McGuinness family were Mayo people-  at least the records we have found.
Can you not make a connection with them other than the DNA matches?
Is there no common person yet?

Well if it came from a tree then no proper research was done to come up with a date like that for his Birth!!

Personally I wouldn't trust it from here to the trash bin!!

Desperate times hallmark. The DNA match is my heritage who has updated its system and produced lots of new higher matches. This one was put in a mirror tree to get mrca, lots of same surnames but no common ancestor. I spotted mcguinness in their tree and thought my search was over you gave me Annie, by fluke i contacted her son on ancestry who gave me the other missing name and his gedmatch number..no match.

Back to the drawing board..hoping all the Xmas present DNA  kits people might have received are going to come up with a match closer than 4th cousin...I'll not hold my breath. Thanks for the help.
