Do you have Irish Ancestry or love all things Irish? Join us in the Ireland /Irish Roots Project! [closed]

Question

Time to start a new thread !!

Fáilte!!

The  Ireland/ Irish Roots Project co-ordinates the efforts of Wikitreers who have Irish ancestry and/or would like to improve the profiles of Irish people and the Irish diaspora on Wikitree.

If you would like to join the project we would love to have you.  

The Ireland Project (previously the Irish Roots Project) has now changed its structure into Teams.   We require everyone with the Ireland Badge to be a member of at least one Team or Sub-Team and our google group.

See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Ireland  for details.  

The Teams and an explanation of their roles are :-

Categories Team -  If you like to organize, categorize, build a plan and see it through; This Team is for you.

Counties Team - Those interested in one area of Ireland, Province, County, Town. Includes One Place Study

Managed Profiles Team - This team works on profiles managed and protected by Irish Roots. PPP

Membership Team - This is our Administrative Team. They track new Members, Enquiries,

Profile Improvement Team -  Made up of sourcerers, arborists, connectors, biography writers, data doctors, and others,

Topics Team - Irish - Notables, Writers/poets, politicians, military, history etc

Diaspora Team  - the term Irish_Diaspora refers to groups of Irish no longer living in Ireland or not born in Ireland. i.e. United States, Australia, England, France etc.

 Can you therefore let me know which Team you would like to join.  If it is the Counties Team then which County Sub Team(s) you are interested in.

Please post an answer below.

Irish Roots Project is in the process of changing its name to Ireland Project. So you may see both Irish Roots Project and the new Ireland Project at different times. If you haven't seen the revised project, check us out at Ireland Project. We also have a new Badge.

Hi! I would like to join the Irish Roots Project! My main focuses are on my family surnames Manley, O'Neill, and Cosgrove.

---

I would like to join the Irish Roots project. My main focus is trying to find decendants of my great-great grandmother Martha (Riley) Mitchell. I also have done a 23 and Me DNA test.

---

Hi Alyssa and Mitchell - welcome to the Irish Roots Project.  Good luck with your research.

---

I'm not sure I do (other than my very English Grandma being born in Tipperary!), and I'm not sure I want to add another project that I will then feel guilty about if I don't do something to "justify" it .. BUT, I am currently trying to research a few hundred Irish Poor Girls who—not necessarily voluntarily—emigrated to Van Diemen's Land.  This was after the ending of the Earl Grey Scheme, so called.

I am having very little success on the Irish side (and not much more on the Tasmania side), as I understand many/most of the records no longer exist (except, maybe, Corofin).  No matter what I use for search, I get zero results for County Clare, where most of the girls were from.  (I might have better success with the few from Cork, haven't got to them yet.)

It needs to be understood that these, like the earlier EG scheme, were orphans, or otherwise "eligible" females of a certain age, selected by the workhouse supervisors/matrons/persons-in-charge, so it might not be possible to determine parentage or anything else.  So far all I have is a stated age on the passenger list.

If there is anyone interested in helping me create profiles for these girls (often referred to as "breeders") in a similar way to those who fell under the Earl Grey Scheme, feel free to jump in.

---

How sad, and thank you for honouring them on WT.    Perhaps a separate post on G2G might bring your project to a wider audience.   Good luck with this.

---

Yeah .. I was working on getting more than two profiles done first.    (I got distracted.)

It kind of falls under both Ireland and Australia, too.

If you, or anyone else has any suggestions regards the Irish roots side of the girls, I'd be grateful.  I just don't have any idea where to start other than the Irish BDM and, as I said, nothing is popping there.  (It doesn't help that I have zero parents on the girls I've sourced so far.  It's as though they came from nowhere to the ships.)  I don't know where to go for the start of the journey, or even how to access any possible records from Corofin.

I was hoping to try the Cork girls sometime next week,  as I have family commitments this weekend.

---

My ancestors came from Isle of Man and Glenkeen, Culduff, County Donegal.  Would like to learn more about them.

Welcome to Irish Roots Jennifer I've also added you to County_Donegal_Sub_Project

Hi Anonymous Fields,   So that I can welcome you to the Irish Roots Project I need you to sign our honour code (it's just a click)  please follow this link for more info.  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Member_Types   Come back to me once this is done and I'll sort out the project badge for you.   In the meantime good luck with your research.

Hi there, as an Irish person I would love to get involved with the Irish Roots project! Not only for my own research but for other people who are outside of Ireland also, as I am based near Dublin and can help out those who are overseas with their research.

My family are mainly from Counties Kilkenny, Tipperary and Laois (and just kept marrying within these counties apparently!) with the surnames Fitzgerald, Lacey, Gleeson, Phelan, Carroll, Pollard amongst others. My ancestors also emigrated to USA (Boston and Chicago mostly I think), Australia and some to New Zealand (still needs confirming).

I have my family tree on Ancestry and currently working through my DNA matches on that.

Looking forward to getting involved!!

---

Hi Dorothy and welcome to the Irish Roots Project.  Good luck with your research.

---

Hi Catherine and welcome to the Irish Roots Project.   Thanks for your offer of assistance - much appreciated.  Perhaps you would like to manage one of our County projects.  See the main project page for more info.

---

Done. Sorry, I thought I had already done that a few weeks ago.

---

Thanks for the welcome, Maria -

Maybe in future I could take on managing one of the County projects, but I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment.  :)

My greatgrandfather, born 1874 Dublin Ireland (Robert Tonayne), who is totally invisible on all genealogy sites

- married either in South Africa or Ireland

to my g grandmother from Ireland 1883 (Maggie May or Margaret Flusk)

So I need to find out who they were are their families.

So wherever you see my fitting the best, I would imagine that the group looking into those born and raised in Ireland BUT I would also need the bit of puzzle of how and when they got from 1 continent to another

---

Hi Sharon,  Welcome to WikiTree and to the Ireland Project plus County Dublin Team.   Good luck with your research.

Found a birth record for a Margaret Mary Flusk dob 27 May 1871 Gorey, County Wexford https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1871/03299/2208902.pdf   Could this be your Margaret ?

Hello everyone,

I would like to join the Irish/Ireland project.  My family is from County Tyrone and County Antrim so if those counties are available, here I am.

Thank you,

Sharon Hinshaw

---

Very new here but would like to try and help. Not sure in what bout maybe Counties - Donegal/Londonderry as I see a lot of ancestors are from that area

---

Hi Sharon Payne,   Sorry for the delay in picking up your post.   I'll contact you direct to take this forward.

---

Hi Adam,   I'll contact you direct to take this forward.

I found this on Family Search, could be related? Parents  were "Tonyane" https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GTW3-DVV?i=96&cc=1468076

---

I would like to assist with the County team - I can assist with Louth and Monaghan.

---

Thanks Melanie,  I'll contact you direct to take this forward,

---

It's funny, really, but after my last post in this thread saying I didn't really have any roots in Ireland (other than Grandma who was English, but born in Tipperary) it seems my one three-greats-grandfather may have been Irish (County Donegal), not Scottish as always believed.  (My mother would be spinning in her grave had she been buried.)

I am NOT requesting membership with the Project, though, because I refuse to worship at the shrine of the google-gods.  I'm just making note that I have an even stronger interest, now, in Ireland than just my Famine Girls. 

Now I just need to start work on proving the connection.

Hello! My name is Tracy Holt McClary. I was named after my great-grandmother whose name was Eva O' Tracy. My husband is a McClary which through the years has been changed quite a bit from O' Cleary to McClary to Clarke to McAleer so I'm having quite a lot of trouble with his surname. Any help would be appreciated. I am also descended from the Pollard family on my mother's side and I know there is a Pollard Castle where there are family reunions. Also the name Canady came through my mother's line as well. Help! :)

Hi Kassie and welcome to the Ireland Project and the Diaspora Australia Team and the Ireland One name study Team

Hi!  Half of my maternal great-grandparents were from Ireland.  Dwyer/Ryan/Stapleton are from County Tipperary.  I believe Mulvey is County Lietrim.  I haven't been able to make the leap across the pond.  The Dywers came to the US in 1848, but I don't know when the others came to the US.  Looking to make connections with relatives or learning more about my Irish ancestors.

---

Hi Sandy. I added a Death Certificate to Philip Andrew Dwyer (1869 - 1938) It has his parents listed on it. It will get you one more step back to Ireland.

Would you like to join the Ireland Project Diaspora Team? 

---

Yes, please!

thank you!

Hi,

I would like to join the Ireland Project. My grandmother Bridget Quinn was born in Coalsisland, Tyrone in 1918. I would like to join the team County (Tyrone) and Diaspora team as I've never lived in Ireland.

My DNA is often referred to Scottish/Irish and I believe my great grandfather was born in Scotland. Are there any searches here that could help me with that?

Thank you!

---

My Grandad is from Northern Ireland There is a lot of things I myself can't find ....Thinking being apart of this group will

 help me in my journey then be able to give back to the wiki tree community......As I have searched it looks to me like scottish and irish are very close in ties I also have my tree at ancestry but I have learned so much here that comparing the 2 isn't the same

---

My name is Kenneth Stone and I am interested in joining the Ireland project, Topics Team. I have traced my family on my mother side back to  Edward Selfridge, born 1640 in Ardstraw, County Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland. I would like to extend my tree as well as many others back so a larger picture of the tree can be seen.

---

Hi Kenneth, Welcome to the Ireland project and the Topics Team.

---

I just started on my ancestry journey, I come from a line of (nee) O'Neill's from my grandma Peggy's side, Carroll & Neville or Nevill. Located in Soutern Ontario, (Canada) and Eastern USA from what I know.

I would love to see and find out where possibly my family originates from in Ireland.

---

Welcome, Ariana !  We also have O'Neill's (or O'Neil) in our family line.

---

The Ireland Project requires that you join a team. If you would read through the project pages, pick a team and let me know. I can then get you all signed up.

commented by Richard Devlin

I have been a badged member of the Ireland Project since September 2019, but I don't seem able to find my name on any Team.  (If I am, please point me to where it says I am, thanks.)

As most of what I do is Diaspora related, or Profile Improvement related (sourcing, biographies, data doctoring, (some merging, some connecting)), perhaps one or more of those? 

I am currently working on Irish emigrants to New Zealand.

---

Hi Melanie, we had you signed up for the County Teams of Clare, Donegal and Limerick but I just add you to the others too. Thanks for letting us know and a special thanks for all the great work you're doing.

---

Heh, thanks!  I had not got around to checking all the County teams.  I was lured away by rabbits. 

Am currently working on that family in Co Cavan (with links to Enniskillen, County Fermanagh!  (I seem to get around!))

---

I have several lines in tree that go back to Ireland, the most recent is John Carothers in 1787 and many others as far back to past the 1500's. I'd love to be included in the project.

---

@ Melanie. There are so many rabbits to chase!
I saw your comment about family Co Cavan. Please do tell me more! Family names and Parishes are interesting to me. Cavan, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:County_Cavan%2C_Ireland

Hello all! I am a descendant of John Brownlow of Nottingham, England, who was an undertaker in the early 1600s and the ancestor of the Brownlow family of County Armagh. Fortunately, the two main Brownlow lines are relatively well documented as one branch joined the Society of Friends (Quakers) in the mid 1600s and the other branch ultimately became the Lords Lurgan. I am new to wikitree, but not to research. I feel a bit like a newborn dear trying to find my legs, but I would like to be a part of whichever groups would best help me to get my years of documented research on the Brownlow family (and collateral lines) available on wikitree.

Hi everyone.  I'd like to join the project--specifically the Galway & Leitrim Teams.  I've been working on the McTagues (& more recently the Kiernans) of Bawnboy Union, Leitrim.  In Galway, names of interest are Walsh, Naughton, & Conneely in Rahoon & Moycullen, & Coen, Joyce, Coffey & Dempsey in the Turloughmore area.  I've been thinking of starting a McTague one name study, but I'm not really sure what that would entail.  Any help would be appreciated.

---

Hi Melissa and Welcome to the Ireland Project and the Galway & Leitrim Teams.

If you would like to start a one name study the One Name Studies Project will help you get started. If any of the McTaque are from Ireland, make sure you tell them so they can set up an Ireland category for them. It will then show up in the Ireland one name studies

Hi.  I would like to join this project.  My great grandfather was born in Ireland, Joseph A. Judge, but he immigrated to the USA afterwards.  I'd love to learn more about where he was born and when he immigrated as well as learn about his ancestors.

Answer 1

My ancestors came from Kerry (Ballinskelligs and Valentia Island),  Tipperary and Kilkenny, Ireland

My family interest centres around Lyne, O'Connor, O'Shea, Falvey, Lyons, Maher, Curtin, Watters and Rankin.

I have created a family tree which is located on MYHeritage. My tree continues to be work in progress as I establish new relatives.

I have done a DNA and yDNA test. My DNA test is uploaded to GEDCom..

I have uploaded gedcoms to Ancestry, Findmypast and WikiTree.

Hi Tim and welcome to the Irish Roots Project.

Answer 2

My ancestors came from Limavady. Names I am interested in  are McDermott,  Toner,  Ferris and York.

I have my tree on ancestry.com and genes reunited. Before submitting a name I triple check to make sure the correct information is documented.

I would be more than happy to help others, only problem is, I do not know how to use this site properly. I've tried in the past but got no feedback, so don't know if I was doing it right.

Answer 8

I have ancestors from Cork and Roscommon, and I'm learning how to do more with Irish research (it seems like everyone has the same names and didn't leave a strong trail, though I do have some old letters).

Comments

Hi Cara and welcome to the Irish Roots Project.  Know what you mean !  My Maxwell's all seem to be James, John, Mary or Jane 

Answer 9

Although my family has been in the Philadelphia area since the 1860's, I'm still 98% Irish per the updated Ancestry test!

Thanks to the Donegal Genealogy Society, I found out my original paternal ancestors had the surname of O_Craimsigh. This eventually became Bonner, Boner, Bonar, Crampsey, Crampy, Crampey.

My paternal grandmother's maiden name was Dougherty, which was originally O'Doherty then Doherty. The spelling seems to have changed in America. I even know exactly where they lived and have seen it on Google Earth. The last farm on the left before the Tower at Banbas Crown, Malin Head, the most Northerly point on the Island of Ireland. County Donegal.

My maiden name is Brown, my Mother's was Campbell, my maternal grandmother was Johnson.

My maternal side is from County Donegal also, but far South of Malin Head, in the town of South Donegal.

Answer 18

I would love to join the Irish project as my late husband had Irish roots, as well as my own ancestry. My husband family was Maloney, my ancestors Brawley, Callan. I am hitting brick walls on all, except the Brawley'sas far as I can find came from Londonderry.

Hi Richard, Thank you for letting me join. I have since found out that I may have Irish Roots in Northern Ireland and in Southern Ireland. Antrim, Louth, & Clare & Limerick. It seems my Ancestors and my husbands ancestors really loved to move around a bit. I have also found some of my cousins or I should say second and third cousins living in America, Canada as well as Scotland. It looks as though I am the only one who moved to South Africa.

Answer 19

Most of my ancestors are Irish, and I would enjoy becoming a member of this project and helping out. Thanks for asking. I'm ready to join, if you want me

Hello,

My name is Neil Brown. My Irish ancestors on my fathers side come from Donegal, Conwal parish (grandfather).. My grandmother came from county Cavan, Bogesky, near BallyJamesDuff. With a name like Brown, genealogical searches are difficult.

Hi Neil,  Looks like you were not logged in to WikiTree when you posted your message.    There are more than one WikiTreers with same name as yourself.   Can you let me know your WT ID so that I can take your request forward - Thanks

I am trying to find the birth and/or baptism record of Daniel Brown who was born (i believe) in Glenswilly, County Donegal. He married Anne Whoriskey from Gortahork and eventually moved to Keeloges, where my grandfather was born. Am also trying to track down Their children, Francis, Patrick, Joseph and Kitty.
