McGuinness - Killybegs, Ireland to Madison, NJ - 1865
Hi - Does this sound familiar to anyone?I'm trying to get a better handle on Michael and Elizabeth and their children - I have no information on Michael Jr.Also, Charlotte Windecker (see 3rd gen) is my grandmother.My mother doesn't recall any talk of McGuinness cousins, etc. We were wondering if my g-grandmother marrying a German and moving to Orange, NJ, away from the family caused a rift.Thanks for reading my post!
