This page will be dedicated to the surname associated with the Clan Fionnladh, better known as Finley.
Other variations are Finley/Findley/Findlay
The fascinating history of the Scotch-Irish origins will be presented here.
I also maintain the largest database in the world relating to the Finley surname.
As we begin the new year of 2009, I find myself at a crossroads again. I was laid off twice from newspaper jobs in 2008 and am currently hoping to change directions in my professional life. I am doing genealogy for hire on other lines than Finley, plus seeking to do wedding photography. So far, I have only received limited prospects for both. I will continue to work on Finley lines, as well, and will gladly accept all donations to this project. If you are able to help me financially, send checks to Timothy Kessler, 155 Sharyn Lane, Aiken, SC 29803. Any help is appreciated.
I have added the Family Tree Maker program and now have 41,000 names in my database. I also have a membership in Ancestry.com, which provides direct access to U.S. Census records, international records, photographs and historic facts. If I get increased support for this organization, I will update the Web site to share some of this new information with you.
Due to increased concerns about identity theft, I am removing the membership directory from this Web site and will no longer provide specific addresses for anyone, other than an e-mail address. Please inform me if you do not wish to have your information included on our Web site.
We would like to hear from all interested parties by e-mail at the address shown on this page as soon as possible so we can gauge continued interest. We especially need to hear from all past and current subscribers.
FINLEY Findings International is the only organization in the world totally dedicated to active research of the FINLEY surname and all of its derivatives.
You may send e-mail to me at TMKessler@hotmail.com.
I will start out with some history of the Clan FINLEY. If you have any connections to this family, please send me pedigree charts and family group sheets to my mailing address. All information relating to the FINLEY surname may also be sent to that address and may be used in future issues of this newsletter. Queries are free and are encouraged.
Watch this site in the next few weeks to see it as it develops. I hope to hear from you soon!!
