The Old Head of Kinsale. Brings back happy memories for me. Worked there in 1996 when it was being developed into an 18 hole golf course, designed by Ron Kirby. Happy days !!! 👌

Is there any source you recommend where I can trace my family McCaddam history, my grandfather was considered a traitor of Ireland and I’ve found his grace site in Kilquane church. I’m planning a visit in the fall and would love to trace our property we owned and the weir lease we had on the Shannon.

Tracing the McCaddam family history, particularly concerning your grandfather’s legacy and the ancestral properties along the River Shannon, involves delving into historical records and local archives. The surname McCaddam may be a variation of McAdam, a name with roots in both Scotland and Ireland. In Ireland, the McAdam name has been associated with various counties, including Clare. Philip McAdam, known locally as the “Traitor,” assisted the Williamite army during the Siege of Limerick in 1691 by using his knowledge of the River Shannon to facilitate their crossing.
To further explore your family’s history and trace the properties they owned, consider the following steps:
1. Local Archives and Libraries: Visit the Clare County Library, which houses extensive genealogical records, including land leases, property records, and historical maps that may reference your family’s holdings along the Shannon.
2. National Archives of Ireland: The National Archives offer estate records, wills, and leases that could provide insights into your family’s property ownership and any leases related to weirs on the Shannon.
3. Church Records: Examine parish records from Kilquane and surrounding areas for baptismal, marriage, and burial entries pertaining to the McCaddam/McAdam family.
4. Land Registry: Investigate the Registry of Deeds for historical property transactions involving your ancestors.
5. Local Historical Societies: Engage with local historians or societies in County Clare, as they may have unpublished materials or knowledge about families in the region.
6. Online Genealogical Databases: Utilize platforms like Ancestry.com or the McAdams Historical Society website, which may have user-submitted family trees or records related to the McAdam surname.
