Is there an Irish project for the Reilly/o'Riley/Riley family from Cavan, Ireland starting with Donovan Reilly 1380?

Question

my ancestor is Eliphas born cica 1785 in Laurens, South Carolina. His son Samuel Thompson Riley born 1829 Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee, US and he migrated out to Australia and married in 1857 in Yackandandah, Victoria to Janet Hughes. Samuel Riley is my great great grandfather

Comments

Good luck! I’ve had enough trouble with my gg grandmother Helen Riley who married Alexander McMinn in New Zealand in 1874. Maybe we’re related on two lines.

Answer 1

There will be thousands of O'Reilly genealogists who would love such a project. Count me in. Ours were from Bailieborough and some are buried in the Enniskeen Cemetery.
