Quinn-clare Family History

The name Quinn in Ireland is derived from the first name 'Conn', the Gaelic for which is O'Cuinn. A number of native Gaelic Septs of this named existed, principally in Counties Antrim, Longford and Clare. It is here that the majority of descendants can still be found.

A Sept is an ancient form of a Clan and is a group of people whose ancestors all bore the same surname and inhabited the same locality.
