We have traced the McColloch surname's genealogical lineage, generation by generation, to Sir Cullo O'Neil in early 14th century Scotland ... to the time of William Wallace in the movie Braveheart.
Circa 1318, the family gained control over the Myreton, Ardwell, and other parts of the Galloway District.
After Sir Cullo O'Neil, the family surname became McCullo, which appears to be the root for all of the surname variations.
Since 1998, mccolloch.com has endured dot-com bomb(s), insolvent web hosting services, hackers, and other malicious intruders! At the time, the two most prevalent types of websites were (you guessed it) genealogy or porn!
McColloch.com was featured in the April 2003 issue of Family Tree Magazine as one of the Top 10 Family Web Sites of 2003!

We are in the process of redesigning our website to be more of a gateway rather then just duplicating information.
Our Genealogical database contains more than 22 generations of family lineage back to Sir Cullo O'Neil. This site allows you to search a variety of options and display individual or family data.
We have migrated our genealogical database to Geneanet.org ... an online genealogy research resource! This allows our visitors to research and create their own family tree if they are so inclined.
