I too am away from my books, but I got this far just by poking around hp-lexicon.org...

Marlene McKinnon was a member of the first Order of the Phoenix (Moody showing Harry 
the picture of the Order, OotP chapter 9). We've been told in SS/PS chapter 4 (Hagrid 
yelling at the Durselys)  and GoF chapter 30 (where Karkarov accuses Travers (?) of their 
murder) that Voldemort and his gang were responsible for the deaths of Marlene and her 
entire family and that--along with the Bones and the Prewetts--they were among the 
finest wizards of the age.

And that's about it. Perhaps the McKinnons were Potter cousins?
