The Editor’s Corner |
|
|
|
Four or five different people asked recently about the origins of our unusual surname(s), so the updated |
|
story and Ulster research article is being published in this issue. Briefly, McA/I/Ninch(sh)’s were only |
|
found in Ulster Province, Northern Ireland, in the valley of the River Bann, and along the north coast of |
|
County Antrim, directly across the North Channel about 20 miles from Scotland, visible on a clear day |
|
|
|
For much of its length, the River Bann is the boundary between County Londonderry, on the west bank |
|
of the river, and County Antrim, on the east. Thus, it’s easy to understand that some of the people were |
|
on the west side of the River (Coleraine, the eastern-most part of County Londonderry), and others on |
|
the east side of the River (e.g. Ballymena, Ballymoney, Bushmills, Dunluce, etc., in County Antrim). |
|

|
Next issue, articles on the McAninch Farm Cemetery, Jefferson Co., Pennsylvania, and other subjects. |

Heredity: |
There seems to be a cure for everything but heredity. |
|
|
Having teenagers is often what determines a parent’s belief in heredity. |
|
|
When a person has nothing else to blame, he falls back on his heredity. |
|
|
Nothing creates a firmer belief in heredity than having a good-looking child. |
|
|
The law of heredity is that all undesirable traits come from the other parent. |
|
|
Heredity is what makes the father wonder more than ever about the wife’s parents. |
|
|
Parents of brilliant children are great believers in heredity. |
|
|
Heredity is what makes the father and mother of teenagers wonder a little about each other. |
|
|
The frightening thing about heredity and environment is that parents provide both. |
|
|
It is impossible to make wisdom hereditary. |
