Being a messageboard novice I am not sure where this will appear in the "thread".
I am certainly intrigued to see all these worldwide McMeekans out there and wonder if any can trace themselves back to the same line.
I can get back to an Arthur CJ McMeekan b 1787/8 who left Ireland to join the Royal Navy and never returned to Ireland. He was one of we believe 11 brothers so there certainly should be many others out there! His father was said to be a magistrate living near Belfast who married a Miss Hill.
If anyone can trace back to the same origin or even go further back then that would be fascinating.
