(‘early immigrant’ claims (they said)) "In North America . . . one of the first

migrants which could be considered a kinsman of the name McAninch, of that same

Clan or family, was Duncan McInnes settled in Philadelphia in 1798; Thomas and

Helen McInnes settled in Boston in 1849; . . ."

(and) "Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: James and

Thomas Kinch who settled with their families in New York State in 1811; another

James Kinch arrived in Philadelphia Pa. in 1838; L. Kinch arrived in San Francisco . . ."

(and) "John McNinch, aged 47, who landed in South Carolina in 1812, . . .

(analysis) there are McAninch / McNinch records in Colonial Pennsylvania early

in the 1770's, before the American Revolution, so, House of Names / Hall of Names

does not have any significant ‘early immigrant’ info, just some 'boiler plate' data.

(‘early migration’ claims (they said) ) ". . . came to Ireland in 1450 A.D., emigrating

to Northern Ireland (Antrim, Down, Armagh, Derry, Fermanagh, and Tyrone counties)

as foot-soldiers aiding rival Irish clans like the O’Neills and the O’Donnells.

The original ancestral sept-lands (a sept is a family group within a clan) of the first

Scottish McAninch’s was around Oban in Argyll and later Callendar in Perthshire.

In 1450 the weaker McAninch’s (MacAonguis) families were harassed by rival

Highland clans and emigrated to the more sparsely settled lands of northern Ireland.

Here they acted as military retainers and foot-soldiers to the Irish O’Neill clan –

the Irish coast is only 13 miles from Argyllshire, hence the ease of communications."

(analysis) Possible, but, looks like MacInnes story, not our McA/I/Ninch surnames.

(‘early records’ (they said)) "In 1500 Guild lists of Scotland showed six McAninch’s

working as tradesmen in Edinburgh." (and) "In Ireland in 1590 Jonathan McAninch

is listed among the Land Roll entries of Co. Down as owning 29 acres at Newtonards."

(analysis) No such records have ever been found, even by professional reesearchers.

(and the ‘Royalty’ claim) ". . . you might be related to the Duke of McA/I/Ninch"

(analysis) Patently false: there was never any such person(s) nor position(s).
