I'm starting a search for McCulken/McQuilken/McQuilkin...help?
Hi there, my name is Mary Kate McCulken and I am just beginning to look for information on my family origins. After my Pop-Pop died last year my sister and I have been curious as to where our family came from. All that my Grandma can tell us is that we were originally from Ireland and the name was McQuilken/McQuilkin. We moved to Scotland because we were "Irish Pirates" or had some sort of job on ships. (However she says they fleed). I know that Thomas is a name that my family has passed down. My Grandpa was William Thomas McCulken II and had a brother named Walter. I don't know much else except that our name was changed at Ellis Island. If anyone thinks they can help me or give me some advice on how to go about this search, I would be so greatful! Thanks again.
