I’m only 1/3 of the way through this video… which really fascinates me. Primarily due to your choice of words in terms of the Irish inclination to remember the voices of our ancestors
Haven't drank some cabbage water in a few year's,I live it with a pinch of pepper magic.Since my granny and mum passing no more cabbage water. Make my own one of these days ✌️☘️
@@maureennewman905sounds like a myth! I’m 55 and have lived in 5 different counties in Ireland, and have a Cork father and Donegal mother and have never heard of this!
JUST EXCELLENT. As a Malone in America, it is fascinating to learn my history. I have done some research as well as my son. Curiously when we did a DNA test e came out mostly English and Scottish, with some Irish. My son, who is a serious researcher, found out that while we have both Malone in Wexford and Gallowglass Campbell in Northern Ireland, the vast majority of out DNA came from a Welsh ancsetor (Ellis) who emigrated to Dublin Ireland in the 1700s. So we are pretty much mixed up, but mostly from the Island of Ireland who emigratede to the USA during the famine. Personally, I identify my self as American with primarily Irish heritage coming from the Island of Ireland. I am having mny son look into clans, as we may belong to the Malone and perhaps the Campbell clans. Thank you so much for this., I learned a great deal.
I am English with no Irish connection and for some reason the algorithm decided l would like this and it is correct. Always interested to learn something about Ireland
@Give_Peace_a_Chance123 It’s Norman French. One of my distant ancestors came over with the Conquerer and was suitably rewarded. There is a book listing all of Williams men at arms. He is there along with all the other chancers
my mothers people were from Lester, her last name was Lester also. apparently they were noted sheep breeders/farmers. the name wexford was also mentioned. she left ireland with her husband by the name of Pollock when she was young. they sailed to ontario, canada, and pioneered. they built their homestead farm. Charlotte R. Lester was my gr. gr. grandmother...from an upstanding background. ( i think she eloped !) it is so very interesting to know these things.
Thank you for this most interesting explanatory analysis re Ireland's Heritage! I know I'm in there somewhere? did some time in past read my family name which back in times & onwards had it's letters considerably changed to how it's spelled to day and elsewhere apart from 'Killkenny' all best!
My Mother's family is Irish. Her Dad had Irish parents from Cavan. They lived near Chicago IL and had 7 children all born in America. The mother died and the father sailed to Ireland to bring relatives to America to help with the children but he died on the ship and my Grandfather was orphaned. They gave him the Holden name but his parents were named Halton. It's a fascinating story and I'd love to learn where my Father's family came from since his last name was Kelley.
Absolutely fascinating. I'm certain that my Irish ancestors held no special office or status. Simply "simple folks". But it would be such an honor to be able to reach back and learn where my ancestors called home and have that as part of my name. Thank you for this valuable lesson in Irish culture and history ❤.
I didn't know Clans of Ireland was still operating. Its a nice idea, and it would be quite nice for it to remain in place. Hopefully, they will continuing to receving goverment backing and move into DNA mapping which will help us understand our collective history and the ancient texts which proport to tell our story and may be verified throught research.
Saint Bridget, daughter of Conchraidh mac Tal was reputed to have crossed paths with Saint Senan. If that statement holds any truth, someone went a long way back to find us a Surname. If anyone thinks that being thin on the ground means anything, my great grandfather left Ireland around 1850 - you should see how many Dal gCais now live in my part of the state of Victoria
Excellent talk of early Irish settlements, and various clan names. On hearing the Cabes - I have a McCabe in my mother's family back several generations. Known to be "from Ireland, in the north", I'll enjoy searching more now that I have a better understanding of clan names & territories! Longer talk would have been just as enjoyable.
Thank you for this most enlightening video. McCarthy and Ryan are my most direct ancestors from Clogheen in County Cork. Earlier ancestry derives from Brian Boru. My mother's brother, a solicitor, was the family genealogist and he had meticulous records that go back to the elevenhundreds. I have seen those records and the huge family tree created. I find it a most fascinating subject.👋🇦🇺
I’m thrilled to find this video regarding Clans of Ireland. I subscribed immediately. I have not, as yet, worked on the connection with Ireland during my genealogical journey. My maiden name is McCormick and as I understand it, there is some confusion about whether the name originated in Scotland or Ireland. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the history of clan names and how they evolved over time. I’m American with some very interesting DNA mix, which I truly find delightful. Americans are very diverse people who I like to think are stronger for their diversity. Humans were constantly moving around the globe for various reasons. We can’t really claim to be from a particular place because of that tendency. Perhaps the aboriginal people are the only group who can make that claim. Thank you for this informative and interesting video. I look forward to seeing more about Irish Clans. ❤
A very impressive presentation about genealogy; my takeaway is that what's in a name isn't written in flesh & blood & that place & time may make a greater difference.
What's in flesh and blood is sound. The voice of a family always is passed on. Similar features to relations happen. The name is a record really. Isn't it
There are a lot of Americans whose heritage is mostly English, Irish, and Scottish. My Scottish ancestors immigrated to Ireland and then to America. My English ancestors immigrated to Canada, and then my grandfather immigrated to America from Canada.
I'm literally all three. There's about 2% leftover Scandinavian. The rest is all Irish and British Isle mutt. I'm assuming the Scandinavian is possibly viking in origin?
Our ancient ancestors all shared a profound understanding and held the science of Earth reverently.. The impression written history gives depicts a false narrative, our true history stolen.. There's a spirit of the Irish, perhaps this reflects ancient clann 🙏
My parents where both from Derry my dad was a catholic and my mum was a president. I have ancestors in Donegal and my great grandparents on my dads side was from Maghera and my mums I think Carrickfergus. Thank you for sharing this video
My grandmother’s family were McNamaras from County Clare. I only know what my grandmother told me back in the 1970s. She said she had relatives in Clare and also in Mayo. They were poor, that I know, as most people in 19th Century western Ireland is. I would be unable to prove any of this, but I take my sainted grandmother’s word for it. I’ve been to Clare. I’ve been to our castle-Bunratty, which my brother and I reclaimed from the O’Briens during our visit to the throne room. On behalf of our particular McNamara diaspora to Northern New England, I’d like to say, we appreciate what the current owners have done with the place. As for who is related to whom, go back far enough, and everyone in the whole wide world is a cousin.
McNamaras from Achill Island, County Mayo. Our emigrant could not have been any taller than 4'10. But he got on that boat at age 15-yrs old and we are grateful. Enjoyed your post!
As an Aussie McNamara, I also enjoyed my visit to Bunratty. But according to a book I have "The Story of an Irish Sept - The Origin and History of the MacNamaras" first published in 1896, Bunratty is just one of more than 40 castles constructed by them as rulers of Clancullen in Clare from the 5th Century until their demise in the 15th Century. The book can be difficult to understand in parts but well worth a read if you have an interest.
@@2anthro thank you for saying this-Mom mentioned Mayo, but I didn’t have anything beyond that.Giving me the name of an island is a precious clue. I appreciate you! 💚
@@garyoconnordbaairrepair7775 whether your grandparents were driven out or just left due a sense of adventure, rest assured you have many relatives still in Co. Kerry. Although, they say about the O'Connors, they are known to this day for robbing banks to withdraw their own money just because they dont like filling out the forms.
How're ya man, Irishman here. When reading your comment I saw something funny which made me want to clarify something. It was the way you said contae ciarrai descent. We would just say ciarrai descent but I think and forgive me if I'm wrong here, you said it because you guys name the 'county' part of placenames? How are things doing over there at the moment? Did you ever come back and visit for a cup of tea?
Clans were generally associated with a geographical area of Scotland. For example Clan Armstrong originated in the Borders , the MacGregors in Argyll & Clan Campbell across much of the Scottish Highlands.
My father was a Dowell the family having come to the colonies in the 1600’s. Daddy was Dark Irish so would love to know much more. His mother was a Brown who settled in Pa.
My birth name was Kelly. I was adopted out at an early age and my last name was changed. Fortunately I have a birth certificate confirming that I am a Kelly.
Interesting indeed. My Father had a family book and the beginning entry stated, that Great great great great Grandmother McCarthy decided to move to America but missed the boat which was a good thing because the USS Virginia was never heard from again (or seen again). Next entry said the family was in America. So this was hand written by someone long ago. Sadly the book disappeared along with a family Bible according to my sister.
I assume my ancestors were from 5he english plantation period as the surnames seem english. They were from Co Fermanagh and Tyrone; Robinson, Keys, Johnston are the main lines. They came to USA in early 1830s.
My great great grandfather was Keys. He came to the US with all of his siblings. They lived in Illinois.grandmother Anna Ward Keys, her father James H Keys, his father his father Francis Keys probably born in Magheraculmony County Fermanagh, his father Andrew born lived and died in Ireland. Married Elizabeth Johnston. Francis older sister Jane married in county Tyrone to James Robinson. I expect this means we are at least distantly related in some way
My grandfather was Mullan from Co Derry. He always told my mother that we descended from the Kings of Ireland. The Mullan were a sept of the O'Neills of Tyrone. My grandmother was a Duffy and her mother a Regan from Mayo.
I cannot find the History of my family name and in particular is it regarded as an Irish name and when and how it came to be known in Ireland ? The name of my family is Stynes and it is known around the world but I cant find a family crest while Irish family's all seem all to have one , Thanks to anyone who can Help .
On my Maternal side, my Grandfather was a descendant from the O'Brien's and Curtin's. We never got far back enough to know if our O'Brien's were born directly from Brion Boru. Apparently, from what I learned there are O'Brien's in Ireland that didn't come directly from Brian Boru. It would be nice if we were directly from him.
@dianebremer9408 go back far enough and you'll find a connection.We are a fairly tight country even though we fought a lot between ourselves. The name says it all regardless of what part of the country your from.✊☘️
I'd love to know the history of the Trinity family from Kilkenny, especially prior to 1800 ad. Did they have a family trade or profession? Are there any Kilkenny descendents out there
I was told part of the family is from Tipperary and connected to the Cian Clan. We have the name Ryan in the US but in Ireland they (I hope I spell this right) O'Mulrian. I was also told that the last name Harris was English but through further research may be Isle Of Skye aka Scotland from the Clan Mc Cloud Lewis Sept. Not sure how accurate. I am 7th generation. The Ryan or O'Mulrian family migrated in the mid 1600's. I found the one who did was later in the Civil War and perhaps buried in a un kept East Wisconsin Cemetary. Patrick Michael O'Mulrian or In the USA Ryan. New York , then a bit South met a Mary Margret O'Brian married (maybe in Iowa) then signed up for the Civil War in Wisconsin. I have been told there was so much back and forth that Harris could be Scotish or English. I would like to know more. I am retired now. I also have Norwegian on my Father's side. Robinson. I do not not much as he was adopted and only in the recent 5 years connected with a cousin. I found out my Dad had a Nephew (twins) one since passed a couple of years ago. The remaining one is in Hawaii. I am in Washington State. Sure is funny how the world sees division in some parts. Everyone at some point was part of or connected to a tribe somewhere. Hey if anyone has more information text a note here.
Kilteasheen-22 (960-1300 A.D.) and I are “a rare and close” Big Y DNA match says FTDNA. My surname is PAYNE but I have used primary/secondary sources over many years and found my ancestors had come out of Ireland into East Anglia via Leicestershire where Nicholas Payn is found at North Kilworth by 1333 with a Ralph BOTILLER I believe was likely of the hereditary Chief Butler of Ireland family as Nicholas’ son, John, became Chief Butler of England in 1399 and the family had intermarried with the Boleyns in Norfolk attached to that Irish clan as well as with other families that had deep interests in Ireland. Blomefield’s Norfolk also held that we descend from an Adam Payn, of Ireland. Interestingly, our genealogical records solidly suggest that we originated in Jersey and, according to the family in Jersey (still there today) they were part of the Paynel’s from Normandy, leading us to think we’re Norman/French. However DNA says I am 95.5% CELTIC! R1b RM269 type. I could use some help to understand it all and attempt to find traces of my family in Ireland at this early time, likely in Roscommon. However, I have also found Payne’s elsewhere including 2 Payne Bishops - of Armagh and Cork- near this time too. If anyone can help Point me in the right direction I would be grateful as there is some very interesting history uncovered that needs to be told properly! Thank you for the consideration! Patrick Payne- Domesday to America Project on Facebook and RUclips.
Anglo-Norman/Viking,/Irish. a Clark from County Antrim. Ulster Irish, Orange men on Dad's side. Clark not Clarke. His mother was a McCue. So glad that I found this channel.
My family names are Ross and Kennedy which I understand can be either Irish OR Scottish? My genetic DNA and documented family history puts my family coming from South Munster/ Cork but I also have records and pictures of family coming from Scotland. Is there anyway to tell which one my family belonged to? Are they the same people just migrated to Ireland from Scotland? Just started my research and have a lot to figure out. :/
Not sure which clan I would belong to - don't know as much about my dad's side of the family - kerry/Limerick I believe. Not that sure of my moms side either.
My family name is anglicized from Ó MAOILCHIARÁIN, or “Servant of St. Ciarán” - but if surnames weren’t used until 1100, then history better suggests that the name comes from someone who worked/lived at Clonmacnoise at the birth of surnames - am I correct in that thinking?
My Irish ancestors emigrated in the late 1700s. Their surname was Ragan. They claimed to be of County Cork, although they sailed out of Shannon. The emigrant, Private John Ragan also served in the Continental Army.
Having Family born in Cahirciveen,County Kerry ( i was born in London,but my Parents& Grandparents and so on are from Waterville,Kerry)So that's all i know.. But i was curious by the comments he underlined at 9.16 considering the lengths his Organization are willing to go with their research & investigating on the subject of the Historical irish linage..Why did he feel it necessary?
Ó hÍceadha or Hickey descendant here! Ó hÍceadha (in English: Hickey; O'Hickey) is a surname of Irish origin. According to historian C. Thomas Cairney, the O'Hickeys were one of the chiefly families of the Dal gCais or Dalcassians, a tribe of the Erainn who were the second wave of Celts to settle in Ireland between about 500 and 100 BC. A medical family who were physicians to the clans of the Dál gCais. My mother was Canadian-born, maiden name Eileen Hickey.
My girlfriend’s last name is “ McKiearnan,” and she can only find a few references to that spelling in California, USA. If anyone knows of a connection to the Old Sod, and any connections to particular towns or areas there, I’d love to have that information.
My cousin told me there were 2 Collis Clans in Ireland. 1 clan dued out but the other survived and there was a sheriff in that clan in mid Ireland. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I'm a Hogan, decended from Hogan's from Freshford, County Kilkenny and Hannah O'Malley from Westport, County Mayo. I'm going to assume my lineage is part of the Clans of Ireland.
@ definitely not Carmody ..I have his father’s and grandfather’s name. He didn’t emigrate..but was put to sea as a cabin boy when he was a child then eventually jumped ship
An awful lot of mistakes were made in ellis island when people gave their names when they emigrated, your names could have been collins, depending how they wrote it down originally, you were stuck with it
That spelling would be Scottish origin. I have family members with that spelling of McGhee, so perhaps Ulster Scots/Scots-Irish. It can also be spelt Magee.
In hopes that I find my Irish roots. Carroll and Quirke. My Grandfather (Robert Carroll) left Ireland, county Cork for the usa in 1900. My Grandmother (Mary Quirk, or Quirke) left county Tipperary for the US in 1906.
Research on the Anglo-Irish suggests that as many as 40% were Irish families who converted, and I'm sure there was mixing between these indigenous families and the "settlers" or "colonists." There are also numerous examples of Anglo-Irish people adopting the general label "Irish" as a descriptor, and in the 18th Century something like a "cult of St. Patrick" emerged among Irish Anglicans. In the end, I think we need to move away from these narrow and exclusive definitions of 'Irish' and accept that, like most countries, Ireland had different ethnic and social classes that engaged with Irishness in different ways, and sometimes not at all. I don't really find the narrow approach educational, nor is there much evidence that the Anglo-Irish were perceived as "English colonists" by their class peers in England. Both the Duke of Wellington and Edmund Burke were caricatured as "Irishmen" in the British press, for example, and both had a rather mixed genealogy, although certainly upper class (especially Wellington).
I don’t know why he didn’t just say we are not classifying anyone as an Irish clan member who descends from the English. To qualify, do you have to have your DNA tested? For example the Y chromosome is passed from father to son so is an excellent indicator of someone’s origins.
Chandler was my great great grand father coming from Ireland they say that catholique moved to Canada because of the potato famine my great great grandfather immigrated to Canada as a gentelman he was protestant. But I wonder from what region he came from he was freeman fleury or John. Tks if anybody has leads
Looking for the “Rooney” surname….Irish Catholics emigrated to NY. Family refuses to discuss origins or reasons for emigration. Census records -following the surname-place their emigration at or around the time of the potato famine. Any clues about this surname?
So refreshing to listen to something that doesn't have an AI voiceover. ❤
I turn off , I hate it
Highly informative without a bunch of symbols and distractions. This man speaks simply and eloquently. Well done.
take care

Keefe from Charleville, Cork. Rearden/Riorden from Cork. Also Dorsey and Barry (Commodore John).
My familys name goes back to Brian brou and the battle of Clontarf ☘️
On my Maternal side, my Grandfather was a descendant from the O'Brien's and Curtin's. We never got far back enough to know if our O'Brien's were born directly from Brion Boru. Apparently, from what I learned there are O'Brien's in Ireland that didn't come directly from Brian Boru. It would be nice if we were directly from him.
@dianebremer9408 go back far enough and you'll find a connection.We are a fairly tight country even though we fought a lot between ourselves. The name says it all regardless of what part of the country your from.✊☘️
Brodreick comes from Broder or bradder. The viking who killed Brian Boru was named Broder.
I'd love to know the history of the Trinity family from Kilkenny, especially prior to 1800 ad. Did they have a family trade or profession? Are there any Kilkenny descendents out there
I'm O'Reilly from County Cavan
The 0 Reilly were the biggest rulers in cavan back up to the 16 th century cavan was your kingdom
@@seanohare5488 Still a very strong name in Cavan and Meath.
My O’Reilly family was traced to County Cavan, too 💚
@@Janiebelle01 Which town ? I'm from Ballyjamesduff
I decent from Achille Islanders who were MCHugh/ Gallaghers.
I was told part of the family is from Tipperary and connected to the Cian Clan. We have the name Ryan in the US but in Ireland they (I hope I spell this right) O'Mulrian. I was also told that the last name Harris was English but through further research may be Isle Of Skye aka Scotland from the Clan Mc Cloud Lewis Sept. Not sure how accurate. I am 7th generation. The Ryan or O'Mulrian family migrated in the mid 1600's. I found the one who did was later in the Civil War and perhaps buried in a un kept East Wisconsin Cemetary. Patrick Michael O'Mulrian or In the USA Ryan. New York , then a bit South met a Mary Margret O'Brian married (maybe in Iowa) then signed up for the Civil War in Wisconsin. I have been told there was so much back and forth that Harris could be Scotish or English. I would like to know more. I am retired now. I also have Norwegian on my Father's side. Robinson. I do not not much as he was adopted and only in the recent 5 years connected with a cousin. I found out my Dad had a Nephew (twins) one since passed a couple of years ago. The remaining one is in Hawaii. I am in Washington State. Sure is funny how the world sees division in some parts. Everyone at some point was part of or connected to a tribe somewhere. Hey if anyone has more information text a note here.
Thank you.
My surname is Casey and i traced my fathers line who came over to the US from Ireland in 1776. I wish i knew more about where they came from.
Kilteasheen-22 (960-1300 A.D.) and I are “a rare and close” Big Y DNA match says FTDNA. My surname is PAYNE but I have used primary/secondary sources over many years and found my ancestors had come out of Ireland into East Anglia via Leicestershire where Nicholas Payn is found at North Kilworth by 1333 with a Ralph BOTILLER I believe was likely of the hereditary Chief Butler of Ireland family as Nicholas’ son, John, became Chief Butler of England in 1399 and the family had intermarried with the Boleyns in Norfolk attached to that Irish clan as well as with other families that had deep interests in Ireland. Blomefield’s Norfolk also held that we descend from an Adam Payn, of Ireland.
Interestingly, our genealogical records solidly suggest that we originated in Jersey and, according to the family in Jersey (still there today) they were part of the Paynel’s from Normandy, leading us to think we’re Norman/French. However DNA says I am 95.5% CELTIC! R1b RM269 type.
I could use some help to understand it all and attempt to find traces of my family in Ireland at this early time, likely in Roscommon.
However, I have also found Payne’s elsewhere including 2 Payne Bishops - of Armagh and Cork- near this time too.
If anyone can help
Point me in the right direction I would be grateful as there is some very interesting history uncovered that needs to be told properly!
Thank you for the consideration!
Patrick Payne- Domesday to America Project on Facebook and RUclips.
Anglo-Norman/Viking,/Irish. a Clark from County Antrim. Ulster Irish, Orange men on Dad's side. Clark not Clarke. His mother was a McCue. So glad that I found this channel.

Do you know anything about Leydens in Co. Sligo?
Come from Keenan and O’Neill However, I know very little of the Keenan’s
My family names are Ross and Kennedy which I understand can be either Irish OR Scottish? My genetic DNA and documented family history puts my family coming from South Munster/ Cork but I also have records and pictures of family coming from Scotland. Is there anyway to tell which one my family belonged to? Are they the same people just migrated to Ireland from Scotland? Just started my research and have a lot to figure out. :/
My grandmother x3 Mary Kennedy.
Not sure which clan I would belong to - don't know as much about my dad's side of the family - kerry/Limerick I believe. Not that sure of my moms side either.
Clancy and Fitzpatrick from cavan to Australia in 1840 are my ancestors
M6 family history is from Co Cork & Co Clare. Names are Coughlin, McTigue, Leonard. Thankyou! ☘️
My family name is anglicized from Ó MAOILCHIARÁIN, or “Servant of St. Ciarán” - but if surnames weren’t used until 1100, then history better suggests that the name comes from someone who worked/lived at Clonmacnoise at the birth of surnames - am I correct in that thinking?
I'm an O'Neill from Rathlee near Sligo
From the “one”, Niall of the Nine Hostages
What this man said could be said of many European nations that were confederations of tiny kingdoms that eventually coalesced into nations.
I enjoyed this good information and as there was not an AI
Researching Spratt and Bowe surname.
My Irish ancestors emigrated in the late 1700s. Their surname was Ragan. They claimed to be of County Cork, although they sailed out of Shannon.
The emigrant, Private John Ragan also served in the Continental Army.
Its probably spelt reagan here or regan, miss spellings were very common
Family name is Cooley. Understand they found in Galway and County Claire.
I'm an Irish American my family Martin comes from county Galway! Bless all Irish help them reclaim there homeland.
how can I find out about the ancient history of my surname O'Leary? I only know we are from southwest Ireland, Cork county.
Having Family born in Cahirciveen,County Kerry ( i was born in London,but my Parents& Grandparents and so on are from Waterville,Kerry)So that's all i know..
But i was curious by the comments he underlined at 9.16 considering the lengths his Organization are willing to go with their research & investigating on the subject of the Historical irish linage..Why did he feel it necessary?
So where are the killians, cheneys, reeds, lemons, and the coles from?
Ó hÍceadha or Hickey descendant here! Ó hÍceadha (in English: Hickey; O'Hickey) is a surname of Irish origin. According to historian C. Thomas Cairney, the O'Hickeys were one of the chiefly families of the Dal gCais or Dalcassians, a tribe of the Erainn who were the second wave of Celts to settle in Ireland between about 500 and 100 BC. A medical family who were physicians to the clans of the Dál gCais. My mother was Canadian-born, maiden name Eileen Hickey.
My girlfriend’s last name is “ McKiearnan,” and she can only find a few references to that spelling in California, USA. If anyone knows of a connection to the Old Sod, and any connections to particular towns or areas there, I’d love to have that information.
I wonder how ya figure out all this. My family left terrible records
I’m Flynn/Ó Floinn know locally as Michael Johnny Bháin
The stories our ancestors could tell us awesome?
My cousin told me there were 2 Collis Clans in Ireland. 1 clan dued out but the other survived and there was a sheriff in that clan in mid Ireland. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
I'm a Hogan, decended from Hogan's from Freshford, County Kilkenny and Hannah O'Malley from Westport, County Mayo. I'm going to assume my lineage is part of the Clans of Ireland.
Erin Go Bragh! Correction sorry all!
I can never find out where my Darmody family originated from
Look up Dermody, the much more common spelling.
Or look up Carmody, many surnames were misspelt when people emigrated, happened to my family lol
@ definitely not Carmody ..I have his father’s and grandfather’s name. He didn’t emigrate..but was put to sea as a cabin boy when he was a child then eventually jumped ship
@WaveWatcher10 oh wow, fascinating, best of luck with your search x
Can u tell me anything about the Surname Collis in Ireland?
An awful lot of mistakes were made in ellis island when people gave their names when they emigrated, your names could have been collins, depending how they wrote it down originally, you were stuck with it
We might be related, my name Conchúir Ó Síocháin.
My mother’s maiden name is Mcghee. I assume we have Irish roots, mostly lift hair light skin blue eyes 👀 n that entire side of the family.
That spelling would be Scottish origin. I have family members with that spelling of McGhee, so perhaps Ulster Scots/Scots-Irish. It can also be spelt Magee.
In hopes that I find my Irish roots.
Carroll and Quirke.
My Grandfather (Robert Carroll) left Ireland, county Cork for the usa in 1900. My Grandmother (Mary Quirk, or Quirke) left county Tipperary for the US in 1906.
Plenty of Carrolls in Oranmore Galway as well
Research on the Anglo-Irish suggests that as many as 40% were Irish families who converted, and I'm sure there was mixing between these indigenous families and the "settlers" or "colonists." There are also numerous examples of Anglo-Irish people adopting the general label "Irish" as a descriptor, and in the 18th Century something like a "cult of St. Patrick" emerged among Irish Anglicans.
In the end, I think we need to move away from these narrow and exclusive definitions of 'Irish' and accept that, like most countries, Ireland had different ethnic and social classes that engaged with Irishness in different ways, and sometimes not at all. I don't really find the narrow approach educational, nor is there much evidence that the Anglo-Irish were perceived as "English colonists" by their class peers in England. Both the Duke of Wellington and Edmund Burke were caricatured as "Irishmen" in the British press, for example, and both had a rather mixed genealogy, although certainly upper class (especially Wellington).
I don’t know why he didn’t just say we are not classifying anyone as an Irish clan member who descends from the English. To qualify, do you have to have your DNA tested? For example the Y chromosome is passed from father to son so is an excellent indicator of someone’s origins.
Chandler was my great great grand father coming from Ireland they say that catholique moved to Canada because of the potato famine my great great grandfather immigrated to Canada as a gentelman he was protestant. But I wonder from what region he came from he was freeman fleury or John. Tks if anybody has leads
Sorry he was named chandler married a fleury.
He was probably planted in Ireland from Britain, they took our land from us and gave it to brits😡😢Do an ancestry dna test
@clairepoirier2856 Chandler would to me be more English not native Irish.
My gran was a mcbride
The only thing I know about my Irish kin is the name Nolan which I named my son
Wonderful 💚
Looking for the “Rooney” surname….Irish Catholics emigrated to NY. Family refuses to discuss origins or reasons for emigration. Census records -following the surname-place their emigration at or around the time of the potato famine. Any clues about this surname?
It is hard to believe tha I could live in Ireland for so long aand not be accepted as Irish!
