Maggie-  Do you have any connection with Rev. Robert Orr of Killead?

You are indeed an aristocrat. That marriage (Swann-Cummins) somehow escaped my notice, and I thought I had all the Antrim First marriages!  Thanks you so much. And if I had just done this query a year ago, I could have driven up the highway and met Anna Swann Johnston Suffron.

If your father had a brother who left a son, you could check your father's Y-DNA against your cousin's. If your father was not actually the son of your grandfather then his Y-DNA would be different from the other males in the family.

I have indeed. The family is present in Randalstown in 1901 but not in 1911. One of the daughters married there in 1910, but I can't find any of them in 1911. I believe after the father died the family left Ireland, and I believe some went to Winnipeg Canada around 1918. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a will for the  father Thomas Swan, although his siblings and father are all documented in wills.

Family History Beginners Board / SWan/Swann of Antrim

I am a one name researcher of Swan/Swann of Antrim. Right now I am looking for the family of Thomas Swan, grocer and weighmaster at Randalstown up until about 1910. They were members at First Randelstown Presbyterian, and I believe Thomas' wife may have been Mary Ann Gourley.
Any takers?

Maggie Blue-  I notice that you are a Swann researcher.  I'd like to chat with you about that if you are willing.
Thanks-
