My Donovans lived in Waterford...Patrick Donovan m. to Mary Sullivan who had my g-grandmother Bridget, circa 1868. Thanks to Brian Donovan for this informative video!
My great grandparents surnames were Hone and they and my ancestors lived for centuries around the Oxfordshire and Warwickshire area and I was just wondering if this means they have any relation, whether distant or not with the Anglo-Irish Hone family who can trace their origins back to Samuel Hone from Marlborough. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
I am related to my Uncle Timothy Donovan of County Cork. He married Katherine Higgins of Clonbur, County Galway. They had 6 children, 3 born in Cleveland, Ohio between 1912 and 1918, and three more after they returned to Ireland. Are you related in any way to this family? One of their sons John Patrick Donovan, now deceased, was an important man in the Irish government.
I am so frustrated and upset because I am struggling to find info on my great grandfather and the family upwards I could only find one site and the information i cannot confirm with official records. I am close to tears with this it is very important to us to find our ancestry!
My grandmother from Sligo County Ireland had an "Uncle Billy Atkinson" who rose up against the British during the uprising of 1798. I am looking for the record of his court martial which was judged by Robert Hillas.
With out knowing an ancestors name in Ireland or where they are from, it's impossible to to find any information with only their migrating sons name here in the US, especially when the US records for that son are mostly non-existent,. Once you do find anything closely related in Irish record, it tells you nothing but a name. No association with anyone else. Mr Donovan goes on about how great the records are but they do nothing for me. I have my GGrandfather, plus wife and children. He was born about 1840 in Ireland and lived and died in Baltimore Maryland. I find him in US census records, first 1870, last one 1880, and I know he died about 1900, I can't find immigration or naturalization records. I have no idea where in Ireland he is from or the names of his parents. An unbreakable wall.
Do you know when he came to US? I found out when my great uncle emigrated to US through online records from Ellis Island, and what ship he came on. This was about 1908, so I'm not sure how well they kept the records 50 years prior to that.
