Trying to learn about family
My name is Delbert LeRoy McGuirk Jr. ,I am trying to learn something about my family and for some reason am having no luck.My fathers name is Delbert LeRoy McGuirk Sr.,his father was Alexander Henderson McGuirk.His father was William Hamilton McGuirk,his father was William B McGuirk,his father was Benjamin McGuirk.I have been trying to find out where my family began and where it originated,but have had very little luck.I stopped on the McGuirk's and tried my great-grand mothers maiden name and had a ton of luck.I traced it all the way back to the year 1205 to a village of Glenfinin in Scotland.Her maiden name was Napier.Then I went back to the McGuirk and hit another wall.A cousin a few years back made book about the McGuirks,but instead of going back he went forward in his search.It helped out a lot as I found new names.But seams like for some reason nobody either knew or did not trust me when I wrote them telling them what I was trying to do.Which I can understand that.But I am in no way trying to rip anybody off like one person wrote back and told me,all I am trying to do is find out about my family.
I tried my mothers name and found out that was a dead end,as my mothers parents were not from this country and my mother had no relatives here in the U.S. When my mother passes her part of her clan will stop,which is I guess you would say,sad.She knows some dates and places but not much other than that.
So if any of the names I put in the letter rings a bell,please contact me. My email address is [email protected] email you back and share any information I can to help you in your family search.
Thank you very much, Delbert L McGuirk Jr.
