About The Quinn Genetic Genealogy Project

At The Quinn Genetic Genealogy Project, I am committed to advancing science and technology through innovative genetic analysis. I am dedicated to providing top-quality resources that meet my own needs for substantiated documentation.  That is why I have included so many documents for you to review with your eyes and intellect.


If you are a Quinn from North Carolina I have researched our shared ancestors obsessively and extensively in the whole of the Province of Carolina, Province of North Carolina beginning with  from the Lost Colony of Roanoke, in Dare County to the Mississippian Culture's Chiefdom at Joara, Burke County and all of the Quinn Surname bearers from before the Bloody English sent us away from our Irish homeland.  Imprisoned and Genocidal to the English Colony's of Coastal Virgina, North Carolina and South Carolina.  The English King sold the colonies to the Lord's Proprietors and they did little to protect the orginal inhabitants of the contneinet and yet they are proud of their achivements.  I call bullshit. 


So my research begins at the beginning and ends by the 2nd United States Census of 1800. With all of the original works by Dr. David Beers-Quinn who was born on 24 April 1909 in Dublin and raised in Clara, County Offaly. His father was a gardener from Derry and his mother hailed from Cork.


Educated at the Belfast Royal Academical Institution and earned his undergraduate degree at Queen’s University Belfast in 1931. David  then completed a Ph.D. at King's College London on Tudor administration in Ireland under A.P. Newton.


Authored over 30 books on early European exploration of North America. His first major work focused on Sir Humphrey Gilbert’s voyages, and he became a prolific editor for the Hakluyt Society, advancing source-based maritime history.


  • Raleigh and the British Empire (1947)
  • The Roanoke Voyages (1955)
  • The Elizabethans and the Irish (1966)
  • North America from Earliest Discovery to First Settlements (1977) 
  • His study Set Fair for Roanoke: Voyages and Colonies, 1584–1590 was widely recognized during the 1984–87  400th anniversary of the Roanoke Colony.

So I am fact-based researcher that does not partake of fictitious anecdotes.  If you are further interested, the graphic above is a high-res scan that I did before the item was removed from circulation at the NC Archives. 


It is the Last Will and Testament of  Loftin Quinn from 1766, which was proved in 1774 by letters testamentary provided by Josiah Martin the last Royal Governor of the Province of North Carolina.

PRO Tip of the Day

There is a ton of useful information that is the definitive source for anything related to Laughlin Quin of Carteret County who lived from circa 1712 until he passed in Newport Town during the months before the Province of North Carolina became the Great State of North Carolina on February 3rd, 1774.  Laughlin is buried with his Gould allies who arrived from Ireland who lived and married Laughlin's  grandchildren and whom are on the same grant that Laughlin Quin received in 1749.  It has been continuously passed down to his son Abner and his heirs ever since 1774. 


130th on the King's of Thomond Pedigree we learn that Edwin Richard Wyndham Quin the 3rd Earl of Dunraven Mount Earl who died October 1871, the son of Windham Henry Wyndham Quin born 1812 was twice married.  
Augusta Goold, 3rd daughter of Thomas Goold, Esq., Master in Chancery


GOULD - 19cM to 8cM through 23 Matches


Anne Lambert, daughter of Henry Lambert, Esq. of Carnagh who as the Dowager Countess Dunraven, she married secondly Hedworth Hylton Jollife 2nd Baron Hylton.  


The children of Edwin Richard Wyndham Quin by the first marriage were:


  1. 
Windham Thomas Wyndham Quin of whom presently
  2. Lady Caroline Adelaide Quin born in 1838 who died in 1853
  3. Lady Augusta Emily Quin born in 1839
  4. Lady Mary Francis Quin born in 1844 who married in 1868 Arthur Hugh Smith Barry, Esq. of Marbury Hall Cheshire and of Fota Island, Cork who was the MP for Cork from 1867 to 1874
  5. Lady Edith Quin
  6. Lady Emily Anna Quin


LAMBERT - 28cM to 8cm through 39 Matches


Thomas Gould of Milltown House, JP, High Sheriff of County Clare died in 1832.  In 1796 by the 1st marriage in 1776, married Frances Morony who died in 1793. She is the daughter of Francis Morony, Esq. of Cork by his wife Mary Goold, daughter of Francis Goold, Esq


Gold, Golda, Goldberg, Golden, Golder, Goldman, Goldsboro, Goldsby, Goldstein, Goldsmith, Goldtrap, Goldsberry and Ingold 


GOLD(+ Aliases) - 34cM to 8cM through 40 Matches


This is a huge clue as to where Laughlin Quin came from. Even given the fact that Laughlin lived much earlier in time than the Earl's of Dunraven were marrying members of the Goold and Gould families of Ire. 


Here is a public link with photos taken by my friend David Gould who was there to record and photograph the area in 2012.


David's Ancestors Michael Saunders Gould and his wife Elizabeth "Betsy" Post-Gould along with a few of their children are also buried there.


What I am saying is that anything you read on Ancestry,  or FamilySearch, really any Genealogy  "aggregated" website about Laughlin Quin's parents.  They are 100% fabricated. There is not a single stitch of evidence from the historic record or genetically to support such outlandish claims.  So beware of falsehoods, they should tell you a great deal about this that take them seriously. 

How To Use The Map Above

In the map, once you maximize it by clicking the ICON in the upper right-hand corner, you will view the map in a web browser.


From here you are able to turn off the topics. The topics are:


R-FGC11134 SNP Matches, 1642 Down Survey Forfeitures at Attainder, NUI Galway Landed Estates - Griffiths Data, Cemetery Locations, The Defined Septs for Ó Cuinn and Genetic Matches to human remains found from Archaeological Research.


I match these archaeologic discoveries at each site. Something you cannot obtain via an Autosomal only test with any provider.  This is the DNA Test offered at Ancestry.com as an example.  My origins are simply not available via my atDNA. Instead I use my mtDNA and yDNA to obtain this detailed information.
