Hi Grant
I had some problems tracing my family which is HANNA - in Scotland, and then discovered that they had previously spelt their name HANNAH so perhaps if you look at HANNA you may have some success - good luck

Hi Anita;

Thank you for the input. I have, thus far, found that there are, at least, three spellings of our "Heritage" last name: Hanna, Hannah, Hannay. There may be more, but I have nto found them, as yet.
I tried the different spellings, to no avail. Perhaps, after I finally get started as the Clan Hannah DNA Project Administrator, I will find more. Thank you again for your reply and I hope you find what you are looking for.

Hi Anita;

Sorry I din't get back with you, for so long; I didn't realize you had answered my call for help, until just now, when I was going through back entries on the message board.

There were many spellings of the surname Hannah (Hanna, Hannay, Hanney) and most of them come from the original spelling, Hannay.

My problem is, I can get to my 4X Great Grandfatehr, John Hannah, b. 1795, in Virgina, but, unforunately, I am unable to find who his father and mother were. This is where I draw a blank.

Thak you for you assistance, just the same. If I find anything new, I will post it.

Hello Grant,
My GGGRandmother was Catherine Hannah, she married James Mulholland abt. 1800. They were in Antrim Ireland. There was supposidly quite a few Hannahs at that time in the area.
If that helps.
Her children came to US abt 1825 or so. Settled in Randolph Co. Ill.
