Some History of Our McGinty/McMullen/DeVaney/
Gilligan/Fitzgerald/Fitzpatrick/
Walsh/Gahagan/McBride/
Sorkilmo/Valentine/Courtney/Taylor Family

This page was designed to keep our family informed about its heritage.  We are predominately of Irish and Norwegian descent.  Our Irish ancestors came over during the early 1820's and mid 1840's.  Three quarters of our ancestors settled in Iowa and the Dakota Territory in 1840-1886.  The other one quarter settled in Illinois and Missouri pre 1850 and appear to be of Irish descent.  To discover more about our family genealogy please click on one of the links below.  Details for all people recorded as living in our database have been left blank.  People who were not recorded as either living or deceased from other sources have been recorded as living to protect their identities.  If  you identify a living person with birth dates erroneously displayed please contact me so I can correct the error.
