OUR PURPOSE

The purpose of this web site is to introduce you to our "Clan" and familiarize those that are interested in exploring their MENARY family tree with our work.  We also wish to portray a sense of the role our MENARY ancestors have played in the history and development of many countries around the world.

Our surname has seen many spellings but they all lead back to Northern Ireland.  But how did they get there? Many modern day MENARY descendents have reported that around 1688 William of Orange gave land in Northern Ireland to two or three MENARY brothers. They were weavers by trade; perhaps Huguenots from Southern France.

We have dedicated this web site to the study of the MENARY surname no matter how you spell it and invite you to explore our history from the past and learn how DNA is making connections for us in the present. We are proud of our heritage and hope that by sharing it we will help others in their own family research.
