Hi Janet, Welcome to WikiTree.

Happy to help with County Fermanagh where I can.

If you are in Ireland there’s a Viola ( Vi) Wiggins- nee - Crozier who is a leading light at the Enniskillen Castle Heritage and Genealogy Centre, County Fermanagh. She should write a book with what she knows about Fermanagh history. You can contact her via her WT profile too Viola (Crozier) Wiggins.

Have fun,

Maria

Can I please be added to the Australia-New Zealand Sub-Team?

5 out of my 16 gg-grandparents emigrated from various parts of Ireland to South Australia between 1849 and 1855.

I am new to Wiki Tree, but have a tree on Ancestry and have contributed to Family Search World tree. Not sure how to start building a tree on Wiki. My Paternal Grandfather Eugene Sullivan was born in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales on 29 Aug 1878 to Patrick and Catherine (nee Sullivan) that married there in 1870. The marriage record indicated Patrick's deceased father was also named Patrick, while Catherine's deceased father was Eugene. There is some evidence from census records and a potential USA death record that Catherine may have been born in Merthyr Tydfil about 1851. Patrick was born in Ireland, but records vary on his birth year ranging from 1841 to 1851 depending on which record you examine. The family immigrated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA by about 1883-1885. Eugene married Ella Martin. Her father James Martin was born in Southern Ireland about 1847 and his naturalization record indicated he sailed out of Liverpool landing in New York City in 1870. In Cincinnati, Ohio, James Martin married Anna Ward who was born in Scotland to Ireland born parents Michael and Catherine, both born in 1836. Catherine's maiden name was Cryan on her death certificate, but varies widely in birth and death records of her children, most of whom were born in Liverpool, The damily immigrated in 1870 to Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Ancestry DNA matches to Munster/County Cork community and two of my DNA matches have roots in Bantry, Ireland. Other than that, I have no idea how to get back further into Ireland. My Mother's side is mostly Scotch Irish from Ulster

Hi Mary, it is easy to add ancestors to a tree, start with your father and mother and go from there. This link will guide you through this process https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Adding_Family

Cheers, Rich

Hi

I am an old duffer who has recently become interested in my ancestry. My maternal side (Blanchette / Canadian) goes back to the 1500s BUT on my paternal (McKenna) (Irish) side I hit the wall with my Great Great Grandfather born in 1828 in Ireland. All my Irish traceable relatives lived or were born in Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.A. I don't know how to trace their lives beyond that. I am willing to invest time & labor to learn how. Is this the group I should join to do this???

Hi old duffer, I'm an old duffer too with the same time frame brick wall. My Great Grandfather was born in Ireland c.1812 and I can't find anything more on him.

The First thing to do is build your tree and put everything you know and what sources you used. This way other people won't be duplicating your research.

You may find something at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Sources-Ireland-Province-County

Good hunting Barry
