Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating with
anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests.
Here is my family tree.Ancestors
I only manage profiles of people that are either blood relatives or their spouses, so if you see my name on a profile I'm related! (There are a handful of exceptions) I Manage 2,817 profiles as at 1 January 2021.
Of course some of my blood relatives are managed by other people as well.
I do a lot of edits as part of the Data Doctors project, so I'm not just editing my relatives.
Paternal relationship is confirmed by an AncestryDNA test match between Mark Dorney and his first cousin once removed Stuart Dorney. Stuart is a son of Kiernan Dorney and our most-recent common ancestors are Kiernan's parents, James Dorney and Marie Kiernan. We share 472 cM across 21 segments. Stuart's DNA is no longer public on Ancestry.
Maternal relationship is confirmed by an AncestryDNA test match between Mark Dorney and his first cousin Bradley Cox. Bradley is a son of Lesley Clapp and our most recent common ancestors are Keith Clapp and Marjorie Ridley. We share 748cm across 40 segments.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Mark or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Mark Dorney:
Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 37 markers, haplogroup R-M269, FTDNA kit #IN91052, MitoYDNA ID T15456[compare]
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
Mark Dorney:
Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test HVR1 and HVR2, haplogroup U5b2b4a, FTDNA kit #IN91052, MitoYDNA ID T15457[compare]
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mark:
100.00% 100.00%

Thank you so much for pointing out the two files. Suzanne and i have just made the connection, after many many years. It does not look like we are related to you however. That is a pity. Love finding nw family.
Hi Carol, It's quite the coincidence that you were both adding your trees to wikitree within the same fortnight! I would venture that we likely are related, but the state of Irish records being what they are, it would never be possible to show it, unless you were to track down a male line relative who did a YDNA test.
The Australia Project leadership team are carrying out our annual check-in to see how you are going in the project. We'd really like to give you a huge thank you for all your work on Australian profiles over the past year! We've made great progress in 2020/21 with your assistance.
Please could you reply to this message, to let us know if you would like to stay on in the project and if you are happy with your current role and team involvement.
If you would like to do something additional or different, take a look on the Australia Project page to see what other opportunities there are.
It would also be great to get any feedback or suggestions that you have to improve the project.
Yes I am happy to stay involved and in my current situation. I've mostly been focusing on Western Australian profiles, mostly making sure all profiles from the 1830s are in wikitree, have all their family connections and at least one source.
Here’s an extract of Luxton in the Devon records. Hope it proves useful,
Best wishes,

Brushford parish is unfortunately missing from 1524.
Have you got a free-space page for Luxton genealogy in Devon? Might be useful if they attract other interest.. Either way, I will leave this info in your capable hands!
I would to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project during the past six months. We have achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
As the England Project Leaders, we are completing our six monthly check-in with all project members.
Are you happy to stay in your current project teams? Which teams are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?
Also, do you have any feedback on what the project is doing well and anything we could do better in the future?
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.
No change required. I'm still chipping away at the 851 errors, which being all privacy locked take some time. Making some progress recently and are down to 423 profiles, not of all which will need chasing up.
Hi Mark - Just read your feed - I guess on a Mackey connection, which was my husband's mother...however, I also noticed your comment about your family tying in with the Clapp surname. My sister is married to Lawrence Clapp, son of Cecil Clapp- his descent is straight back to the first Clapp that arrived in MA in the1600's. Neither one of them has submitted a DNA sample. D.M.
Welcome to the Australian Projects team. I am working on the Eureka Stockade project. You will find most people on Wikitree to be supportive & helpful. If there you have any questions I'm happy to find an answer.
Ken
No sure what the Eureka Stockade project is, however, I am researching what the Eureka Agitation was as they 'support/sponsored' various ships to bring immigrants to Victoria. My gr grandfather, Joseph Hunt, arrived on the Aberfoyle, which is one such ship which arrived on 12 December 1854. Can you help in advising me where to look for such information. Thanks
It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.
First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?
Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?
Not doing a lot, have returned to 851 errors which includes engaging managers of privacy locked profiles.
I choose not to get emails from the google group. Too many "Comment on" messages and the like. Discord is cool but just doesn't seem to fit in with the way I do things.
Hi Mark, keen to join the dots on how we are connected. You made a recent profile update on Evelyn R Macdonald (Halloran). Apologies if I should have already made this connection, the whole Genealogy things is very new to me. Regards Brett Halloran
Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. I wanted to thank you for your work on English Profiles.
These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the project leaders for everything you do!
Other Cork family names I am working on: Hunt, Love, Compton, Kemp, Rountree, Ball. I haven't yet had the opportunity to upload my tree to WikiTree, but you can have a look at Family Search if you like.
Let me know if you find a connection, and PM me if you like.

Hello Mark My Family is nearly all Devon and Cornwall. You do not match me, but you do have a match to my brother KX8461445 and half paternal aunt A213519 . Different segments and different MRCA. I would suggest that it is likely to be a link in the Exeter area.
Thank you, Mark, for every one of your more than one thousand contributions to our Shared Tree during the month of September. The Appreciation Team honors you for all of your efforts.
Mark, every one of your more than 1000 contributions for the month of August 2009 adds to the improvement of our Shared Tree. Thanks so much for all of your efforts.
Many thanks for all your work. I have inserted the date of birth and death for Michael Hallissey. When I have more time I hope to add some more information to the Hallissey tree. Ellen

Also, while looking up your ancestor, I found an Isaac Love in an 1849 land assessment document living in the same building in Cork City as a William O'Brien (maybe related to Mary O'Brien?): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G94J-MSFZ?i=304&cc=2329951&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQVMG-3Q27
