This ends the McLaughlin Family History review. It is plain to see that this was a very close knit Irish family. With so many Mclaughlin and McLaughlin relations living in the Hornby area, many of them farmers, I would gather that this clan eventually owned most of the land in Hornby. There is more information available on some members of this family, and I have purposely left off a generation of two from the present day. I am sure you can understand that research takes time and it is not possible to include everything in a brief over view. Let me know what you would be interested in seeing in future posts. Until next time, water your family tree and watch it bloom.

This ends the McLaughlin Family History review. It is plain to see that this was a very close knit Irish family. With so many Mclaughlin and McLaughlin relations living in the Hornby area, many of them farmers, I would gather that this clan eventually owned most of the land in Hornby. There is more information available on some members of this family, and I have purposely left off a generation of two from the present day. I am sure you can understand that research takes time and it is not possible to include everything in a brief over view. Let me know what you would be interested in seeing in future posts. Until next time, water your family tree and watch it bloom.
