Thomas
I have been watching the Y DNA matches,I get the messages from Family Tree
DNA about various matches,but nothing ever seems to be close enough to help.
As I said,I need some living McGonigals who are willing to have their Y DNA
done,but the ones that I have contacted, and would probably be the most
helpful, don't seem to want to spend the money on this.
My McGonigal info is posted all over the Internet and on the Rootsweb lists.

Some day it may get results,but finding a birth in Ireland around 1812 will
not be easy.
Thanks for your input,
Frank
