Surnames: Comyn. Bourke, Lynch
My father told me many times that we had cousins called Lynch and one of my aunty's christian names was Lynch. Their mother grew up in Galway Bay . I have never figured out the connection but am researching family stuff now.My grandmother who grew up in Galway was Eva Comyn. Her father was Francis Lorenzo Comyn and her mom was Cecilia Bourke. Maybe this isn't directly helpful but I would like to know the tie. Thanks, Janet B.C. Canada

I can't find a connection to your surnames. I am just starting my search in Ireland, and may find a relationship.
Will keep your posting on file.

My grandfather on my mother's side has always told me about our past family in Ireland. He has many old documents showing our family crest, our connection to James Lynch who hung his own son in Galway a very long time ago which created the word lynching, and I believe he even has one mentioning Lynch Castle in Galway which is now a bank.

Hello,
I have been trying to break through a wall in my Lynch line for several years and I wonder if you might be able to help me?
My earliest confirmed Lynch ancestor was named Thomas Lynch, of Red River County Texas, born about 1857. His father was probably also named Thomas Lynch, of the state of Virginia, born 9 Aug 1821. It is possible that his middle name began with the initial "L".
In your research, have you come across my Thomas L. Lynch of Virginia?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give. I am particularly looking for Thomas L. Lynch's ancestors and when they came from Ireland. Some of the males in my Lynch line had the names Leroy and Luther, so perhaps the L. initial I found on a tombstone photo could be either of those names.

Surnames: Comyn, O'Connell
Hello Janet
This is a bit late in the day, but I came across your post when looking into the Comyns of (mainly) Galway. My father's mother was a Comyn, and her mother Mary O'Connell was the granddaughter of the famous Irish statesman, Daniel O'Connell. I have a lot on them but was only dimly aware of Francis L Comyn's lot. He is my 10th cousin, 4 times removed, which makes you my 13th cousin, once removed!
If you would like to know any more, do get in touch.
