Also posted on numerous Ancestry Family Trees is information that Andrew Linn's parents were John and Mary (Gettys) Linn. This also is in error. If you look at the information posted it states John Gettys was born in the United States and died in the United States, not Ireland.
Andrew's parents were Patrick and Mary Linn and they are buried in Cumber Parish, County Derry, Ireland.
Based on DNA results I believe that our very early Linns originated in Scotland.
