What we do
- Ireland Project - County Teams
- A PDF file giving an introduction to inform you of the role of the county teams, to explain the structure of the teams and to let you know what is expected of you as a member. This PDF is hosted on the Google Drive of David Loring so if you have any problems accessing it please contact him. The PDF is downloadable from the viewer.
- Whilst familiarizing ourselves with Styles and Standards and 'standard' Wikitree 'best practice' goals such as merging duplicate profiles, sourcing, cleaning and adding biographies, linking profiles to the wider family tree and general Profile Improvement, as a member of the Connacht Team you will be assisting in helping people locate their ancestors in counties of the Province of Connacht. There are various ways in which we can do this, some through the sub-projects of the Ulster counties and some by providing the framework whereby records are grouped together, categorized, under various aspects such as towns, townlands, parishes, electoral districts and census records etc.
- Please remember Communication Before Editing.
Helping as a member
- A part of being a member of the Ireland Project and of the Connacht Province Team is giving a little bit of your time if possible to tidying up the profiles we oversee as the team. Some of these profiles such as the Unknown Locations and Unsourced need a bit of TLC from the Team members. In particular those that have been orphaned for what ever reason and no longer have a profile manager to watch over them need our attention. Any little bit of time you can spare will be appreciated you may be assured. Resolving sources for unsourced profiles and determining locations of birth and / or death where such information does not currently exist will benefit the whole WikiTree community.
- See the Profiles Needing Work link below in the status section for details of what is needing to be done.
- For other Sub-Categories for Connacht see the main County category for each of the Connacht counties. Some examples of the sub-Categories are:
- See Ireland Sub-Projects for other Irish projects you might be interested in.
- It is highly recommended that you start a One Name Study or more for your surnames. It is a great place to store your research notes, sources such as web sites, books, etc. and a place to connect to other genealogists who are working on that name.
Connacht Province Status Pages
- Go to the Parishes of Connacht (Status) page which displays the progress of parish CIB and Space pages and the current version number. This also just happens to be a useful list of every civil parish in Connacht Province.
- This free space page show the profiles, by county in Connacht province, that are in need of some TLC from the team. Connacht Profiles Needing Work (Status)
- Elements of these categories may also be connected to Connacht province:
- Ireland Unsourced Profiles
- Category: Ireland Project Needs Biography
- Category: Ireland Project Needs GEDCOM Cleanup
- Data Doctor's Ireland error list
Your own Profiles that need work
- To add your problem profiles or brick walls here leave a message below and we'll enter it.
Resources
- A considerable amount has gone into and is still on going on the determination of the correct townland names and locations and the categorization of these. In order that we present a uniform format for location categories please visit this page for help with creating Geographic Categories for Ireland
- Building upon a sound framework of locations we aim to provide as comprehensive as possible a list of resources on the each main County page. Please add any sources for Counties on the main page for the County.
Team Communication
- Irish Roots has a Google Forum
- Irish Roots also has a Discord server. Discord is a chat room as as such is the preferred method of speedy communication. Please ask Jen Hutton, Rich Devlin or David Loring for an invitation link.

(This one has been giving me a real headache.)
That is a link to the correct townland. The records have used the closest village/town. I would record as townland / civil parish/ county, which would be Eskerboy, Abbeygormacan, County Galway, although the current postal address is likely to be Eskerboy, Killimor, County Galway. (Killimor is another small village close to Eskerboy).
However, all I know of Patrick's father was that his name was Richard and he lived in Galway. I assume he was born between 1780 and 1810.
There's a definite resemblance between several in my own family and one of the 20thc descendants of Patrick 'Lydican Castle' Lynch whose son Patrick went to Argentina in the 1740s, so I am expecting to find a direct lineage connection in Galway at some point.
