NEW Recently 90 MacTighernans spread around the world from 11 countries and 5 continents have completed a Y chromosome test. The results show that we fall into 17 separate genetic groups even though we are all from the same general area of Co Leitrim. The results of this test are at http://mctiernan.com/McTmaps.htm If you would want to be in the test please contact me at michael@mctiernan.com .

I hope to make this a very easy way to find links to others looking for the same family. It needs to answer two questions in order to do that smartly. The first is the name, YOB and POB of the earliest McTiennan / McTernan ancestor known. The second is the name of your immigrant ancestor, the location they settled in and the year of arrival. To add your name and family information on your McTiennan / McTernan family to this list e mail me the information at michael@mctiernan.com so I can fill in the squares below. The townland is the key to finding links.

The contact's web page if known is on the name of the earliest ancestor. The URL on the Townland shows a photo of the townland if availible. The contact's e mail address is on the contact's name. Some of the contacts listed do not have e mail so I will relay your questions to them. To make the link to others easier to find entries are grouped by County, Barony down to Townland. It appears that 3 of the lines with Sir Edward McTiernan are connected so I have bunched them together. The Hughs in my family all have Roman numerals to keep them stright. Even if your name has the "i" , that is no guarentee that it had the "i" way back in the mist of Irish history. The spelling, with or without the "i" most likely has no meaning or effect in finding historical information. It was most likely dependent on weather or not the clerk, writing in a legal book had a few pints with lunch or not. The Tiernan's are at the end of the page.

The Clan web page for the McTeirnans / McTernans. Brand new is the Family Tree Maker JAVA program that shows my entire family, cousins, uncles, aunts and ancestors etc. in a graphical box layout allowing you to search the entire file to see if you are included.
