McLuen in America

 This page is part of the 
   McLuen in America Project   


An attempt to document the McLuen Families who came from Ireland to America in the nineteenth century. We begin by gathering the lore handed down by family members and hope to find documentation to solidify this lineage. Please contribute any little shred of evidence you have found. It may make all the difference. We need Bible inscriptions, obits, census transcripts, pictures and any other documents you may have.
If you do not see your McLuens here please leave a message on the talk page. We'll be happy to set another place at the table.
We will work in descendant outlines with links to the pages that have already been created for family members. Allied families who married into the McLuens will be listed alphabetically by surname.
