Mulloys & McGonigles & DNA Matches

Recently, Mike Grahl reached out to us because his DNA test showed he was a third cousin, and as it turns out, he is related to us via Mary McGonigle, a sister to our grandmother, Adelaide McGonigle. When I first did the Ancestry.com DNA test, we only had one "third cousin" match, and that was AVladimir2. Since then we now have 5 or 6 matches, and two have already been in contact with us.

Mike sent a few photos, see below, and I also added a few photos which I retrieved from his ancestry.com site.

In our conversation with Mike, he wrote a few things of interest that we would like to document permantly in our site:

"I received the work that my mom previously did on the Mcgonigles & Murrins... but you have to see the pic of Helen Mulloy (Tuttle) it is so beautiful there is also one of grandma Mcgonigle with son John C Mulloy"

"My Mother Gayle Mulloy started in the late 80's before the internet she did it for a couple years before she got sick..."
