MEEHAN ASSOCIATED SURNAMES
HOW ARE WE CONNECTED?
If you have done DNA testing and received the results, you may wonder how many matches are and how they connect to you. Listed below are some of the most common surnames I have found. I have tried to arrange them by the primary family group that connects them to the descendants of Charles and Hester Meehan.
This list is not exhaustive. It is provided as an aid. Many names are verified through paper research or DNA, but not all. Also, not everyone with a surname listed here is related. I always suggest following up on DNA matches with your research.
If you have questions or suggestions, please send me a note.
The picture above was taken at the Meehan Family Reunion in Omaha, Nebraska, in 2016. Descendants of five of the seven Meehan children (Annie, Den, Rose, Gertie, Bill) are included. This was possibly the first time descendants of all branches had been together for almost 100 years.
