McAneny
-
The descendants of Catherine and Patrick McAneny are numerous. This site
is a comprehensive look at the descendants and ancestry of this couple.
The name McAneny takes on various forms through the years. From the
research carried out on this particular family, it would appear that the
patriarch, Patrick McAneny was illiterate and totally reliant on others
when it came to spelling and writing his name. Thus the name McAneny has
many spellings.
