I'm researching the Lynd family from Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland. I'm descended from Adam, who emigrated from Cookstown to Ontario, Canada around 1833. Any information will be gratefully received and I will share what I have. Many thanks.

Hi,
My GGGrandmother Margaret Lynd came here from Ireland in 1838 and She and her brothers Archibald and Andrew went to Canada. There she apparently met my GGGrandfather James Lynd and they married and moved to Michigan in 1869. He was born in New York so I don't know how or why they were in Canada.
Possibly because of family ties there. They had a large family mostly sons and both died in Michigan
she in 1875 & he in1879. Their sons were William,Andrew,Alexander,Robert , Samuel,John and James and one daughter Margaret. (Maggie) Does this connect with anything you have found? Please let me know. Brenda

Brenda,
What was your GGgrandmother Margaret's maiden name? You say she came here from Ireland. Where is "here"? Do you know where in Ireland Margaret and/or James came from?
Alas, I don't think your information connects with anything I have found.
Thanks for writing, anyway!

My gggrandmother's maiden name was LYND. Her father was Andrew LYND and her mother was Margaret Perry. They were from Knockaduff,Aghadowey(spelling
She married James LYND from New York who's father was John LYND and mother Mary (Proctor)? My father Robert A LYND Sr. told me one was from Ireland and one was from Scotland.
But I have found both of them had some connection in Canada. All their children were born in Ontario. In the mid 1800s,

I forgot to tell you where here is:The United States of America. I also have a book that was put together by Kevan Lynd of California,USA in which my great uncles had a reunion with the LYNDS from NORTHERN IRELAND in New York,USA and it inferred that they were related.

I live in Knockaduff. The Lynd family are our neighbours. Although they have been here for a few generations these Lynds originally came from Ballybrakes, outside Ballymoney Co. Antrim. A member of this family married my great aunt Annie Morton and they lived in Canada.

I too live in Knockaduff. Some Lynds still live here. Also my great aunt Annie Morton married a Robert Lynd. Same family but they came from Ballybrakes near Ballymoney and then emigrated to Canada. Regina?

Thank you for your post. Is Knockaduff south of Coleraine and west of Ballymoney? That's where Google says there is a Knockaduff Road. What you say is starting to look interesting. There are Lynds in Moosomin, Saskatchewan.

Family story tells of Andrew Lynd being one of seven sons whose parents died when the children were young. It is most likely they came from Gortin in Aghadowey parish originally. Andrew married Margaret Perry of Scalty and settled at Knockaduff.
Their daughter, Margaret Lynd of Knockaduff went to Ontario, Canada with her brothers and eventually they all moved to Michigan, U.S. She married a Lynd born in New York and had children.
Thomas Lynd (grandson of Andrew & Margaret of Knockaduff, Aghadowey) moved across the Bann to Ballybrakes, Antrim and then after a few years the family went to live in Moosomin, Sask.

There were also Lynds in Cookstown area but suspect they are not connected.
