I'm 21 years old, English and live near London.

I'm just looking for people who share my name,
and found quite a few from the USA! The surname
Kyne seems to be rare over here. Hope to hear from
someone out there. I don't think anyone will ever
read this, but if they do, Kyne's everywhere have
a nice life!

Kyne is a very irish name. In my home village of Clonbur, Co. Galway there is even a townland called Ballykyne with its own castle, Ballykyne Castle. Alot of Kynes and Coynes live in this area.

My husband's grandmother was a Kyne and both her parents came to the US from Clonbur. We visited your lovely community in 1988 and were helped by the mistress of Ballykyne BB and the local priest in locating his great grandparents in the parish register.Their names were Patrick and Briget Moran Kyne. Their first child Thomas was born there. Subssequent children were born in Pittsburgh, PA. We had a lovely time at Burke's Pub one evening, even learned to do the Irish two step. While we were perusing the parish book, who should come into the pub but noneother than one of Hollywood's most famous Irishman's son, Tim Kelly, son of now deceased actor, dancer, director, Gene Kelly. His mother's maiden name was Coyne. You are so right about Clonbur having so many Kynes. It must be difficult to keep everyone straight since most of the given names are the same, too. We would very much like to learn more about Patrick Kyne's ancestors and also Bridget Moran's. They were in the birth's register for their son Tom, b. 20 Dec. 1863. Unfortunately all of my husband's relatives who might have had some family records are now all deceased. When Patrick died young, at 36, Bridget married again and no one seems to have kept good track of the Kyne children after that other than knowing a few of their married names,deaths, etc. If you are interested, I have some letters that were sent to us after our first visit to Ireland. I pinched a page out of a phone book and when we got home, I wrote to a Kyne family in Dungarvan and was sent the most amazing documents telling how it is believed that the Kyne name became such from the French name of Chaign, French Huguenots, no less. I believe the story as other letter refer to a ring that came out of that journey and although we don't know the connection between our Kynes and the Dungarvan Kynes who were originally from Clonbur, I wouldn't mind sharing these papers with you. In turn, maybe you could when doing your own history, perhaps be on the lookout for Patrick and Briget Kyne, b. about 1830's 40's. How nice to have found you! Do you know Annette Kyne? We met her and her mother while there. She was about to go off to Trinity College about that time.Isn't the Internet great!

Peter. Please read my reply to Marian Kyne McHugh. dated 7/28/00. You might be interested to learn of a famous western theme author, Peter Bernard Kyne. His time was the early 1900's. Lived in Hollywod and San Francisco where he was born. If you have further interest, contact me at prjones@strato.net.

My father was born and reared in Clonbur in a house that was later to become known as Fairhill House and Bar. (I can't remember what its name is now but it is still thriving) Itis opposite Annette Kyne's home. My father's name was Patrick Kevin Kyne. His father's name was Thomas Joseph (Joe) Kyne and his grandfather's name was Patrick. This Patrick was married to Bridget Hamilton. I haven't been able to trace this Kyne line any further, so I don't know who Patrick Sen.'s father was (or who his siblings were)although I have spent quite some time on the graveyard in Clonbur trying to decipher the names on the tombstones. I do intend to try the parish register again but there are no records before the mid 1800s for the parish of Clonbur. I feel that your family may well be related to our family in the distant past. Annette Kyne is a daughter of my father's second cousin, Seamus Kyne who died tragically at a young age. My father died suddenly at the age of 42 as well, as did numerous other male members of the Kyne family in Clonbur. For instance, another Kyne widow lives next door to Annette's mother in Clonbur in Rusheen House; she also lost her husband when he was quite young. There seems to also be a history of alcoholism in the family, affecting the odd member in each generation. My grandfather was one such poor soul, something which resulted in my grandmother' sad decision to sell the family homestead and business after he died - after which she moved away from Clonbur and never returned as far as I am aware. She is buried in Dublin. It had been a thriving business during my great-grandfather's lifetime - the Patrick Kyne Sen.I mentioned above. Unfortunately, he left it to the wrong son. The Kyne you mention in Dungarvon was related to my father too. I think his name was Thomas and that he was a TD (member of parlament). In the archives of a Kyne wife who is gathering historical information about the Kynes of Clonbur (Mary Kyne, Oughterard; wife of Frankie Kyne, Clonbur, my father's first cousin), there is a letter from my father to this Thomas Kyne TD, asking for help in seeking employment for his brother. My father was a National School Teacher and sports fanatic. He was also an avid supporter of the Irish language. I have heard that story about the French connection, but heard that the name was originally "de Chaigne" (in French this could be pronounced the way Kyne is pronounced in English). Actually, I'm not quite sure about the spelling here. I have no idea where this story originated but it was printed in a national newspaper many years ago by some Kyne - either in New Zealand or the US and the ring was also mentioned. It's difficult to research this type of thing, however. It might very well be a figment of someone's overripe imagination! I hope this information helps you in some way. I'd welcome hearing from you.

Thank you for your posting. It was really interesting to learn of your connection to Clonbur. It will take me a bit to separate all the "relations" you've mentioned. Small world isn't it. At first I thought you were the party, McHugh-Kyne that I replied to a few days ago, but then realized you were someone else after I scanned the earlier posting. You are of course right, the legend, as I call it may be just that, but I'd like to send you copies of the letter that talks about their fleeing France, the ring and all that. Plus there are letters from Peter Bernard Kyne the author, which would imply that there is a relationship somewhere with the Dungarvan Kynes. As I recall there are letters from New Zealand as well. Somewhere I read about a Kyne traveling in France discovered the location of the deChaignes. But, for the life of me I can't remember where that was. Might have been in the letters. I assume you must have an e-mail address, so why don't you let me know if you'd like these copies of the letters and I'll be happy to mail them to you if you don't mind sharing your address.
By the way, when we were in Clonbur, I took a photo of some of the locals in Burke's pub and later did a painting from it. Maybe I ought to roll up the canvas and stretcher bars and send it to them. They'd get a kick out of that. A first! Hope to hear from you.
We occasionally keep in touch with Billy Kyne, that's Thomas Kyne's son. He is such a nice man. I haven't posted a search message on this board yet, but should do so. prjones@strato.net

I'd love to see the information that you have. I am living in Brussels/Belgium right now but also have a house in the west of Ireland which I visit frequently. Looking forward to hearing from you.

My grandmother Delia (Bridget)COYNE 1890 was born in Ballyveane (PO CLONBUR),GALWAY. Believe her parents were Thomas Margaret. Siblings wereMary, Ellen, Katie, Michael Patrick. Around two she moved to KILMAINE, MAYO to be raised by a relative. Other family names are Kane, O'Malley Costello. She settled in NY. Believe there are many Coyne relatives still in the Clonbur area. Sound familar? Good luck, Maureen
