The McCurdy matches I found by DNA are mostly 5-8th cousins located in USA, but there are lots of them. Seem to descend from a Daniel born 1677 in Scotland, married Margaret Laughlin born 1695 and both died in Northern Ireland.

The closest match to my DNA was 4-6th cousin called whose mother was Mckirdy from Scotland. She had hit a brick wall with that line.


Just had another look at my matches - Mary McCready clintagh in your link, did she marry a Hutchenson? Possible dna match with her.

John was born late 1820's so Patrick at 1841 would be too young to be a brother?

I think that's the reason I am having trouble tracing past john and mary, there are so many different variations of McCready.

I did a DNA ancestry test and my matches ( 4th cousin and beyond) are McCurdy. Not one match for McCready, mcgrady etc.

I really appreciate your help. I am still figuring this out.

I wonder if anyone can help me find any information re McCreadys from Garvagh?

My great great Grandfather was John McCready B:1828. I assume he was born in Garvagh / Glennullin direction. He married Mary (o?) Crilly from Gorteade on 3 November 1857 in Maghera and Killough church. His witness was Pat McCready - maybe a brother?


I found a record from errigal parish of one of their children's baptism (Bridget B:1863) so I assume they lived in the errigal area unti their move to Swatragh by 1872 when their son Joseph's baptism was recorded in Maghera & Killough.


Any help very much appreciated.
