SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 2014 The PHAYRE/PHAIR Diaspora - From Ireland to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the U.S.

This is a re-organisation of a blog which I commenced some time ago, and had grown a bit unwieldy. This part has been severed from that earlier blog, which now remains committed to the family of the Colonel Robert PHAIRE of County Cork, the "Regicide." For which see: http://pigott-gorrie.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/irish-phayre-phaire-fair-families.html

My original purpose was to make available to others all of the PHAIR family information I had collected over the last 30 years in Ireland. That has now broadened out into a search for Irish PHAIR information in other jurisdictions into which the diaspora of Irish PHAIR family members have emigrated, over the years and indeed the centuries. It seems to me that the only way meaningful connections in Ireland will be made, back into the distant past, is by finding all the references abroad to PHAIRs with Irish origins, especially in the early years of the Statutory Registers for those jurisdictions which collected the full names of parents - especially useful for those older emigrants, with birth dates going back into the mid 1700s. And it further seems to me that only by collating this material into a unified site will I be able to make useful connections, or at least speculation about them, with some degree of confidence. This blog-page therefore represents my best efforts in that direction.

I have not yet sourced in detail all of the information that appears here. The usual sources have been well scoured, on such useful web-sites as www.ancestry.com, www.familysearch.org, the official Irish Census website of the National Archives of Ireland, the trove website for Newspaper holdings in the National Library of Australia, among others. Some information does appear in public family trees on several of those sites. I have not yet acknowledged some of those particular sources, and apologise if this inadvertently offends. I do not knowingly publish information about living people without their express permission - but I am more than happy to receive such instructions into the future.

Any suggestions, assistance or corrections will be most gratefully received. All correspondence will be entered into.
