Hello all - the Hyndman family I am related to is from Dalry, North Ayrshire, Scotland. I have traced them back to Dalry in 1841. I don't know where they came from prior to that.
Thomas Hyndman was my 5th great grandfather and he was the Town Crier in Dalry at the age of 70, according to the 1841 Scotland Census.
My 4th great grandfather, also Thomas Hyndman, and his sons were silk handloom weavers.
My 3rd great grandfather Samuel Hyndman and several Hyndman family members came to the US in 1852 aboard the SS Ural, landing in New Orleans, Louisiana. They traveled up the Mississippi and settled in Madison County, Illinois.
I'm happy to share information - contact me at
