Quinane Genealogy Home Page
Welcome to the Australian Quinane Clan Home Page
The Quinanes emigrated to Australia from the Upperchurch and Borrisoleigh Parishes near Thurles in County Tipperary Ireland between 1845 and 1880.
Most of the families arriving in Australia landed at the port of Melbourne in the State of Victoria and then headed to the Ballarat Gold Fields. After a number of years in the gold fields, the two main families moved to the Bellarine Pennisula near the city of Geelong in the State of Victoria.From here the family has spread throughout Victoria and the neighbouring state of New South Wales.
