Finding our shared R-FT194071 ancestor
One unidentified paternal ancestor, four match lines, and the missing generations between them.
We are starting with one missing shared paternal ancestor and four match-line charts. The aim is to find the records that connect these lines, filling the gaps a generation at a time.

- Branch 4 — Thomas McManus (born about 1792)
The branch pages show selected generations from the four supplied charts, with unresolved identities labelled unknown. Names, dates and relationships remain chart-reported until supporting records are examined.
These four lines may merge at different generations. They are not presented as four immediate sons of the shared ancestor. The earlier broad GEDCOM-based profiles and source notes are held as drafts while this smaller research project develops.
How we will build from here
Start with the earliest supported man in each line and add evidence for his father. Create further person and document records only as needed for that investigation. Site research IDs allow us to track people who have not yet been vetted and added to a GEDCOM; tree references can be attached later.
Kilronan is a place to investigate across the lines. It remains a research lead rather than an assumed birthplace for every person.

Understanding our R-FT194071 paternal line explains the shared ancestry and the limits of the date estimates.
