My Father, Glen Hollenbaugh's great Grandmather was Rose McGrail of Ohio and Indiana. I only ever thought thier name was McGail. That is the reason our family was having such a difficult time researching this part of our family. This site is so informative and interesting, I'm enjoying the exploration of it.

Had a sister named Margaret and a brother named Thomas, and probably others. He worked for railroad, may have a St. Louis connection and he ended up in Colton/Riverside, Calif. He died in 1946.

I know my father was born in Toronto, ON. I believe my grandfather had a brother by the name of Joseph McGrail also of Ontario, now I've been told that our ancestors come from Ireland, but am un sure of which part. If anyone is a fellow Canadian McGrail, I sure would like to try and trace our roots. |

Curious to find out about other members of the family. I currently live in Snowdonia, Wales. From my understanding our branch of the family moved from Eire to Liverpool in the early 1900's. I'm led to believe we originated from Achille Sound; my grandfather, William Winston McGrail spoke of McGrail's being hung for their activities as highwaymen after Cromwells early forays in the west. Fact or fiction, I know not which. |

McGrail...the youngest of 13 children who died at age 69 in 1982. I was an only child of parents who were married for 13 years before I came along, so most of the aunts and uncles were deceased before or shortly after I was born. |

| Comments: | Today, October 21, 2006, I attended the "McNeill Family Reunion" held in Arroyo Grande, California, U.S.A. There was a discussion as to where the McNeill's originated. (They came to the U.S. August 18, 1774.) Some thought they came from Kintyre peninsula, Scotland, while others thought Colonsay Island, Scotland. Your website plus another states the later, Colonsay. Perhaps the McNeill's departed Kintyre for the U.S., although they were from Colonsay.
For me, it has been a facinating and very interesting journey researching the McNeill family. Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Charlie Conner, grandson of Susie McNeill. |

| Comments: | Hi,I was trying to find out about the McGuigan's. My father and mother were separated shortly after I was born, so I don't know very much about him. I believe he was born in Scotland (Glasgow area) about 1886, his name was James and he served in the First World War, as a Gunner, and suffered from gas poisoning. Among other medals he received was the 1914-15 Star, which had his name rank and Army No. on it. Would love to know his army number, I might be able to obtain some information if I knew it. I also found http://clan.geoghegan.org site today. Learned a lot from that site and yours, I expect to visit again when I have more time, Best wishes for the future of the site,

I was a very close friend to Greg, his mom and dad and 2 brothers, many, many years ago. It's simply unbelieveable to me that he is gone!As I read his web site, I feel as though I need to witness to anyone who reads this that he was a wonderful person, with great sensitivity and abounding love of family. If anyone has the time, please email and allow me to know what happened to him and how his family is doing. I only found out last week, 5 years later, but I still would appreciate knowing. I also have no idea how Richie passed either-I wish I had known at the time, both now and then. By God's Grace, Linda |

| Comments: | I read a little more and see that Greg died of lung cancer. I am still very sad to hear this news all these years later. My materal grandfather was a James McGrail out of Coalport, Pennsylvania - we never find any information on him and my mother really didn't know her father. I am glad to see the site was kept up. My condolences to Greg's family. He was so helpful years ago when I tried to find information for my mom. I live in NJ and Staten Island is only about 30 minutes away. We used to "joke" about running into each other in Times Square.

| Comments: | I am a nephew of the Francie McNiffe [RIP]whose picture appears on your website. I knew an Arty McGrail/McGreal who lived in the old ancestral home at Lisfuiltaghan in the 1940s and was one of the last people to see him alive before he tragically took his own life. That was about the year 1950. I was 11 years old then. I had watched him for hours earlier that day behaving very strangely as he mowed a steeply sloping field about 50 yards from where I sat under a hedge. He wasn't aware of my presence. A few hours later he was found by his mother hanging from a rope in the hayshed beside the house. The hayshed still remains to this day. |

Even sorrier I didn't get to make that trip years earlier to visit Greg when he was working at Port Authority. But back-and-forth emails made it evident to me the McGrail spirit is unmistakable and and Greg was a McGrail through and through. CJ |

| Comments: | In the list of McGrail/McGreal/McGrales in Griffith's Valuation for Ireland, 1848-1864, in Co. Leitrim, is mentiond a Catherine Crower, born 21 Dec 1866, daughter of Patrick Crower and Winfred McGreal, Drumshanbo.
Who knows something about this Crower's? Ancestry? Why came he to Ireland? I am interestet because my last name is "Krauer" and I suppose that Crower, Crowers or Crauer is the English or American version of Krauer, see e.g. the web page Crauer or Mac Crauer is even mentioned in the Manx Note book (Isle of Man), see http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/manxnb/nextra.htm Krauer is an old Swiss name and descends from an ancient farm, named "Crauweren", in Switzerland, first time manifested in 1504 (Historic and Biographic Lexicon of Switzerland). Thanking you for your information in advance and kind regards |

McGrail came to the United States in 1906.(dob) July 1889 His parents were Austin McGreal and Anne (Joyce) McGreal. I know that he had a twin brother (name unknown) and a sister Nora (immigrated to USA) and Patrick (immigrated to USA) but had other brothers/sisters aunts or uncles still there. I know the year he left was the year his mother died. Any help would be appreciated.

My family is McGugan and although we come under the McNeil's I don't understand the background. I have been able to trace my McGugan lineage to Donald b. 1757<> married Katherine McMillan be 1761<>. Their children were born in North Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland and I have, so far, been unable to go back any further. Is there anyone out there that can help me?
