Hello,

    My name is Mathew John McConnell. I’m looking for information on my family tree. My mother and father were both Canadian & I was born in the U.S. They have both passed away and there names were John Guy McConnell & Colleen Roberta McConnell (Barr was her maiden name). My grandparents on my mothers side were Robert Mathew Barr & Christine Barr. I know very little more then this. Our lineage is supposed to be Scottish and Irish. On my fathers side, his dad was also a John McConnell and I think my grandmother’s name was Mary or Martha. I wasn’t close with them & know very little. My father did have a younger sister, named Melanie.

     Any insight you could give me on my family’s lineage & our family tree would be amazing!

Thanks!

Mathew McConnell

Welcome aboard, Mathew!

Your next step is to upgrade to family member. It's free to upgrade. Then you can start adding your family branches and digging into the research. Once you have a few profiles added, come back here to the forum and post links or ID numbers so other members can help you. If you do, be sure to add surname and location tags. This will get the attention of members with experience in those areas.

Good luck with your research and enjoy your journey into the past!
