I would recommend the AncestryDNA test at Ancestry.com and maybe the MyHeritage test.

I am from South Africa and I remember that my father was from Scotland - He passed unfortunate. He was John Patrick McCullen and had a family in Scotland before he came to South Africa. I remember his daughter's name was Gale, but I was very young and did not know much at the time.

Other tests like the AncestryDNA test are not good for this purpose. Then you would have to match another Cullen, McCullen, McQuillan, Collins etc., and that depends if the right person has done the test. If you don't match anyone, your story may still be right but can't be proved. I think there's a good chance that you will find a meaningful match, we already have a couple different Cullen/McCullen/McQuillan matches.<br /><br />I let people comment here anonymously but please considering emailing me at berniecullen@gmail.com otherwise I and others have no way of contacting you in the futureBernie Cullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300251781068160658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27079848.post-59843685973949854352014-01-25T12:24:49.376-08:002014-01-25T12:24:49.376-08:00Hi,

There are and were plenty of McCullens in the Drogheda area, and also McQuillans, since it's a variation of the same name, coming (as you probably know)from the Gaelic "cuileann" (holly) pronounced "quillen". "Cullen" is the anglicised form of the same name. Grandpa was the youngest of 10 children, and according to the local church records, the children all had variations of the surname - McCullen, McCullin, McQuillan - which has made genealogical research challenging to say the least. My grandfather came to England to join the Royal Navy in 1915, and was killed in action when his ship was sunk in 1940. Thus there are various McCullens descended from him in Hampshire and other parts of England.<br /><br />"Mc"/"Mac" (they are interchangeable)added as a prefix just means "son of". It's totally valid, in no way pretentious. <br /><br />My research into my Drogheda ancestors has tentatively identified where & when the "Mc" was first added to Cullen, in the mid-1700s.<br /><br />I hope this helps you in some way.<br /><br />Regards, Tim McCullenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27079848.post-53867834198578809752013-01-25T15:32:44.080-08:002013-01-25T15:32:44.080-08:00Caroline, my grandfather was Mick mccullen from tr...Caroline, my grandfather was Mick mccullen from trillick in Tyrone, and his last daughter is in australia , I think your grandmother Catherine may be my aunt "Cassie" as I know her if its the same person then your father is michael, my full cousin if it is I can be contacted at patatniftys@gmail.com.

Were they Catholic or Protestant?<br /><br />I think they were probably Irish, the spelling McCullian was not very common and in the mid 1800s was found in Northern Ireland in Counties Derry (Londonderry) and Tyrone. McCullion with an O was a little more common and was found in these counties and also Donegal and Fermanagh. The spelling McCullen with an E was found mostly in Louth and other places in northeastern Ireland.Bernie Cullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300251781068160658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27079848.post-73781118945171170972010-06-03T18:09:28.025-07:002010-06-03T18:09:28.025-07:00No , I don't mind .
