As far as I know I do not have any Robinson, Mcauley or McMullan in my Irish family tree.  If you find any connection I would be interested!

Hi, Laharna,
I wasn't aware of their policy.  I don't have my notebook with me today or I would send you some of the various possible family connections.
For example, one Robinson-Topping marriage occurred in India.  I still haven't figured out if they are related or not.  I will send all the additional info I have either tomorrow or on Monday...Paul
