Hey everyone . . . check out Jobey's comment on my previous posting on surnames for additional information on McGinty history.
I also checked on www.ancestry.com which gives the original Gaelic version as Mag Fhionnachtaigh . . . Mag (a patronymic meaning "son of") Fhionnachtaigh (from the personal name Fionnshneachtach that means fionn---white and sneachtach---snowy")~taken from http://www.ancestry.com/facts/McGinty-name-meaning.ashx. I love Gaelic . . . it looks so pretty.
Check out Jobey's comment for some more stuff that he found on McGinty in Ireland. Also check out his blog at http://mcgintyspub.blogspot.com/2009/01/irish-photos.html . . . he has some awesome pictures that he took in Ireland.
