AussieShirl, You can't find us, because we spell it a little differently. Some McNenleys and McAnenlys went to Quebec Canada in the 1820's. They spread all over western canada. One branch split from them and went to New York. They use McAnanly and McNenley. Another bunch using McNanly started in Ontario Canada, spread into Michigan and Wisconsin. There is a big number in the Chicago, Illinois area. They were from Ireland but came through Philadelhia. A bunch in New Brunswick, Canada use McNanley some of them went to Springfield, Massachusetts, USA. A bunch using McAninley and McAnanly are in the Durham area of England. Some of them migrated to New York, NY and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. My family, went to Providence, Rhode Island in the 1830's. We use McEnanly. Cousins, using McAnanley and McNanley, arrived in RI in the 1840's. They have a repetitive first name of Felix. Another batch of  McNanley showed up in Providence in the 1880's. An Owen McNanley got transported to Australia for Cow Theft. Oh, by the way I ran into the McAnenlys who stayed in Ireland last November. The Pub Owners maiden name was McAnenly, She didn't believe my last name until I showed proof. They were from Ballygawley three miles away from where my family left in 1835. All the families come from southern County Tyrone in Ireland and over the county border in Fermanagh. So are we related? Somehow. Lets prove it.
