I am researching the Angland’s from Boherbue, Cork and the O’Connell’s

to Seattle early 1900’s, he was a musician (drums). He married my
grandmother Ruth Hager year unknown. They had three children (born
1912 - 1916). He left them when my father was only 3 so nothing else is
known. I believe he was born to Irish immigrants but would like to find
more on this part of my family.

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/breaking-news/uk-ireland/wolf-whistler-claims-second-title-14882586.html#

2) Well, it seems companies are wanting to help determine who is
entitled to purchase a certificate of Irish Heritage, I am sure aimed at
the Irish not in Ireland, but why not sell a true Irishman a certificate !
Because it is a commercial endeavor, and not for me…
http://www.herald.ie/national-news/firms-racing-to-cash-in-on-irish-heritage-certs-2268387.html

3) Some 2000 Salmon were caught just a week or so ago. That’s always
what they say before I get there ! Then its, Oh, you should of been here
last week !
http://www.irishcultureandcustoms.com/01News/Home.html

4) BBC reports 5,000 per month leaving Ireland
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8844000/8844959.stm

5) A Rare Humpback Whale makes first appearance of such since
the beginning of time, or well, since the beginning of verified records,
whatever that might be…. it was at Rathlin Island.
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/environment/humpback-whale-pays–visit-to-northern-irelands-rathlin-island-14882926.html

6) The earliest version of Sweet Molly Malone has turned up from

Todays Interview:
This audio interview is number 162 on DNA at:
http://www.irishroots.com/content/view/97/144/

DNA and Genealogy

We cover a lot of territory today, with our old friend Bennett
Greenspan of Familytreedna.com. I’ll just mention a few of the
things we cover today. It is a very wide selection of topics.

Male and Female DNA
We’ll cover the well known ‘Y’ DNA testing as well as the
newest interest in Moms DNA or the female DNA. Then
listen in to the newest thing: Autosomal DNA testing which
few have tried yet ! (By the way it is the female DNA that
they usually have to look for in those Egyptian mummies.)

Irish DNA
Become more familiar with terms like R1B and M222 and what
they mean to Irish genealogy, and find out how many people
might descend from Niall of the Nine Hostages in Northern
Ireland ! We also talk a bit about Norman and Viking DNA
in Ireland, and the location of the Vikings there.

The Neanderthals
Then we make a note of Neanderthal DNA and what the new
discoveries mean about Neanderthal DNA in us ! We also
talk about the storage life of DNA and its usefulness.

American Indians
We also note the American Indian, and how at times the
families that inter-married with the Irish were called the
‘Black Irish’. An old term, with yet another meaning.

All in all, you will learn a lot about DNA and genealogy in this
session, and in particular Irish DNA and Genealogy.

Book of the Month:
A Genealogical History of the Milesian Families of Ireland:
http://www.irishroots.com/id4926.htm

Who were the Milesians ?
Simply put, they were the ancient followers of Milesius, a Celtic
King of legend who ruled in Ireland. In other words, they were
the Celts, or at least one wave of the Celts in Ireland. Here is what
I wrote about this book when I first re-published it several years ago:

” The original work by DeCourcy, The Genealogical History of the Milesian Families of Ireland, stands as one of the few works of its
kind produced in the 19th century. No other work of the era brought forth more information in such a concise and easily understood
format (even when in error). The massive works of O’Hart such as
the Landed Gentry, are of the same era, but do not allow the same overview. The latter were bulky and expensive by comparison, and sometimes in error as well!

Timeline: The classic 20th century work of the Rev. Patrick Woulfe, Irish
Names and Surnames appears some 40 years after the
appearance of Milesian Families. The work of MacLysaght came
even decades later. There is a great debt owed to the earlier
works upon which the modern works are based. This book,
“Milesian Families…”, doubtlessly woke many an Irishman to exploration of family history and legend, an endeavor continued to
this day. It also provides us with a way to correct errors.

A groundbreaking work researched one-hundred and twenty years
ago will have need of review and updates. The knowledge and use
of the gaelic language has changed. The meanings and spelling groupings attributed to many of the Irish names given here are incorrect in the light of current knowledge and translation skills.
The spellings used for the old Irish here, are notably different from
what you will read most often today. Common sense needs to
prevail as well. If a name is listed as arriving in 1620, that does not mean it arrived in Ireland only in 1620. Immigration has been a constant, and families have arrived continuously from the time of Strongbow to the present day. It likely means the author had a
reason to give 1620 as a date for at least one family of the name.

Documentation: As with any work of this type, further documentation is needed
to prove any individual family history. There are possible leads
here for you regarding origins and dates. The more knowledgeable
the reader, the more understandable this book becomes.

Legends. What can be said for the ancient legends and oldest pedigrees stretching beyond our imagination ? They are laid down in this
book in short order, and your judgment is required. The closer we
come to the 19th century, the more sure the facts will be. Make no mistake about it however, this is a noteworthy and valuable work,
if only to double check our current theories.”

Irish Family Name of the Day:
McFadden

Todays family history in honor of member:
Donald McFadden
William and Candour McFadden, both reside in N. Ireland early to
mid 1700’s.

Related Spellings of the Name:
MacFadden, Fagan, Faddin, Faddon, Faden, Fadzen, Faggy,

Varient Spelling Groups: #571, #1322, #1464
From The Guide to the Various Spellings of Irish Family Names
http://www.irishroots.com/id4918.htm

History of the Name
The name of McFadden is a name of northern Ireland, and an
Ulster name of both Irish and Scottish heritage. Mac Phaidin,
from which the name is originally taken, stands for son of Patrick.
Without the ‘Mac’ prefix the name was more common in Mayo
than elsewhere.
Donegal is said to be the homeland of the Irish of the name, at
least where it is possible to distinguish between the two.
‘ A Genealogical History of the Milesian Families in Ireland’ gives the
name as a Scottish one, arriving in the 17th c. and settling in Antrim.

Random notes from Mike on todays show

1647- The nuncio releases the Supreme Council.
Merchants with land oppose nuncio, and Old English favored truce with Inchiquin
Nuncio excommunicated those who favored truce.

1648- (April)- Inchiquin then changed sides and supported the King. some army left him
At that moment the English Civil War came to Ireland.

1649- (Sept) Ormond returns to Ireland with Treaty with Confederates.
Nuncio leaves unhappy with treaty.
Confederacy exchanged for command of 12 commissioners under Ormond.
Cromwell Lands at Ringsend a fortnight after August.
O’Neill dies in Nov. 1649 after sack of Drogheda, before ever facing Cromwell.
The Republic had executed King Charles I, now Ireland needed to be subdued.

1650 (May) Cromwell Departs Ireland, then Ireland cleans up for 2 years. Cromwell had subdued Ulster, Wexford and New Ross; Waterford and Cork; Youghal and Kinsale surrendered. Kilkenny fell by March and Clonmel by May.
Ireton was charged with: Limerick, Galway, and remaining Ulster outposts.
Ludlow also commanded, and detested Cromwells rise in England.

Charles Stuart, son of executed King, repudiated Ormond Treaty in Dec. 1650, and then Ormond did too !

1652 (summer) Ireland was conquered, as a colony, and vast settlement and land confiscations begin.
Even the Island of Inishbofin, off the coast of Galway was taken.

Famine, Starvation, Pestilance.

1653- The Army was the commanding force, not politicians.
Commissoners had to take 2 1/2 million acres, and pay those who had ‘adventured’ money for the war.

1652- Act For Settling Ireland
-People who had nothing and did nothing at any time, could leave arms and go
-2/3 loss of estates for many along with banishment (Confederate Army)
-Those landowners favorable to Confederates lose 2/3 of estate and relocate.
-all R.C. 1641-1650 that did not constantly show good affection lose 1/5 of land.

1653 (Sept) Province of Connaught and Co. Clare was designated for transport location
-sort of like an Irish Pale, isolated by the River Shannon.
(Clare had been in Connaught, and Munster at different times in History.)
Winter chosen as time for leaving, to prevent claims for crops.

1654 -Much done by March of 1654,with some 44,000 people with livestock and foods crossing over the Shannon. (fairly uneventful, many stayed behind too.)
“Not enough wood to hang a man, water to drown him, nor earth to bury him.”
After all the surveying and settlement, it was a new Ireland. Land, Occupations and wealth moved to the Protestants. Old English lost control.
The settlement was modified a bit with Williamite Settlement to come, and the restoration of Charles II.

James was brother to Charles II, who had act passed earlier allowing him to be heir apparent to the throne.

1680- Quaker religion in Ireland in 1680’s, in Dublin, Wicklow and Queens..
Admiral Penn, father of William Penn who founded PA, got 12,000 acres in Cork as an adventurer.

1681- Ireland: execution of Bishop Oliver Plunket in 1681.

- James on throne: Catholics move up in army and offices.
By 1688 Irish army was largely a Catholic one.
Old English catholic judge noted. Oat not required.
1686 merchant officers leaving Ireland

James was in good stead with the country at first. Then offered relief to Catholics.
He offered in return, free trade between Scotland and England. Parliament did not like this at all. (1686)
1687-James started favoring Catholics in decisions so several switched religion.
(only 2000 Irish in Scotland, mainly the highlands).
Free worship to Catholics in their homes, but not to Presbyterians !

1687-Free worship to all. Trouble: closed Presbyt. came out of closet hurting
established church attendance, hoping for restoration.

1688 James flees Ireland
1689 Prebyt. rise and declare war as Wm. and Mary as king and queen.

1689 (March) Tyrconnell controlled the country but for Ulster and Sligo.
James arrives in Kinsale with 22 ships and officers. First King in Ireland 300 yrs.

Book of the Month: http://www.irishroots.com/id4233.htm

1) King James Irish Army List. Hardbound. @ 1,000 pages.
Genealogy and Family History of all those found in the ranks.

Who is in this book?
Many people overlook this work, thinking that an ‘Irish’ family
(meaning of the Catholic religion or old Irish ways) will not be
found in this work. That is based on the belief that the patriotic
Irish would never be found in the ranks of the ‘Kings’ army.
King James, was in fact, a Catholic.

Irish joined with King James
You will have to brush up on Irish history in the 17th century,
and I have also covered it in our Irish Hedge Row History podcast.
The Irish did fight on the side of this King, and with good reason,
‘You should have seen the other guy”. I’ll include a podcast
excerpt this week to help illustrate the fact.

Wild Geese
After the battles took place, and all was said and done, King
James Army surrendered. Up to 40,000 of them sailed off
to France and the continent in exile, and became known as
‘The Wild Geese of Ireland’, one day to return to Ireland and
set her free.

Irish Catholics apply here
This book was the effort by D’Alton, born in 1792 in Westmeath,
to record the family history of each of the men in the Irish army
of King James. This was the side the Catholics fought on !
(as well as Scots-Irish and Protestants who opposed the
new order).

Seventy Regiments enumerated
He included some 70 regiments of the army, along with all the
family history he could muster - some information is from works
no longer with us. Some entries include ancient history, others
include information on the family from D’Altons day.

The other side
It is interesting to note that recently the paymasters book
listing the soldiers from the other side, was this year found
in an hotel in Northern Ireland. So we are getting a better
look at the soldiers of the 17th century in Ireland.
The author includes the 17th century confiscations and Acts
of Settlement down to the 1800’s as possible.

The final word is: This is a good source to find the men Catholic
and Protestant who fought in King James army in the 17th
century. As many left forever for the armies of Europe, it can
be a rare source for those in search of information.

Irish Family Name of the Day:
Morrow, Murrough

Todays family history in honor of member:
Dorothy Kidd of Beeville, TX,

Related Spellings of the Name
McMorrow, MacMorrow, Morrowson, Morrough, Morrow, Murrough…

Varient Spelling Groups: 1559, 2516, 1438,
From The Guide to the Various Spellings of Irish Family Names
http://www.irishroots.com/id4918.htm

History of the Name
The name of Morrow may stem from the older family spelling of MacMuireadhaigh, ………………… …….. found centered anciently in Co. Leitrim. The
name is also found centered early in Roscommon and subsequently
in the province of Ulster in Ireland, where some of the name may be
of Scottish extraction.

Of the MacMurrough family which can be found as Morrow in
some cases today, they were ancient Kings of Leinster. They held
sway in Wexford and Carlow down to the reign of Elizabeth and
battled the English for centuries. The MacMurrough spelling is
now scarce, and is today also found at MacMorrow, Kavanagh,
Kinsella, Davis and Murphy. Perhaps this is due to the fact that
Dermot MacMurrough was the Irishman who invited the Normans
into Ireland in the 12th century, leading to the destruction of the
old Irish way of life.

Irish Family Coats of Arms From the Irish Book of Arms
A Brief search in that work shows:

Sample excerpt from these books:

Numerous Settled Families
“One can see from this list that many settler families will be
found in Dublin, including Viking, Welsh, Norman and
English ones. It should be remembered however, that over
time, Dublin drew its population mainly from the far flung
parts of Ireland itself. Indeed, we have the most mixed
population of the entire country right here in Dublin.

Due to the fact that it became the administrative center for
the English government, there was continued settlement from
England. Although the area now known as Dublin city was
a stronghold for the Vikings and Normans anciently, the
settlers became outnumbered by native Irish eventually.”

“ Taking from the works of earlier days, O’Hart, in his “Irish
Pedigrees”, lists the chiefs and clans of Dublin, Kildare, King’s,
and parts of Meath together in the same section. O’Connor
of Offaley; O’Toole of Co. Wicklow; O’Moore of Leix; and
O’Dempsey of Clanmaliere were anciently given as chiefs of
Co. Kildare, which is adjacent to Dublin. The O’Tooles and
O’Byrnes were given in the mountainous areas in the south
of Dublin.”

Irish Family Name of the Day:
Conley

Todays family history in honor of member:
Richard Conley of Waterloo Iowa, and 55 other patrons

Related Spellings of the Name
Conly, Connolly, Connell, Kinnealy, Conneely, MacConley

Varient Spelling Groups: 317, 319, 2157.
From The Guide to the Various Spellings of Irish Family Names
http://www.irishroots.com/id4918.htm

History of the Name
Conley, as spelled here, is a difficult name to trace. It can be a
shortened form of several other family names such as Connolly.
The simple form of Conly is found in Dublin in the 17th century.
O’Connoly was found in Monaghan at that time as well.
MacConley or MacConly is another possible source for the name
with traditional locations being in Offaly. Looking at the wide
variety of counties in which the Conley name is found, it is further
proof that you must research to determine the origin of your
Conley family. (see more sources below)

Irish Family Coats of Arms From the Irish Book of Arms
A Brief search in that work shows:

O’Connell are given in this heraldic work, along with others.

Curious News and Notes, From Ireland today

1) Mexico is now the 6th largest Irish populated country in the world
and the Irish have played a role in Mexicos Independence. The San
Patricios are just one part of the story. A celebration took place at
the Mansion House in Dublin recently. read more;
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/0605/1224271905578.html

2) Four and one half million records from the 1901 census of Ireland
are now online. Although many partial census records survive, this
is the first complete, intact official census. Read the story here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/northern_ireland/10237318.stm

3) Search the 1901 and 1911 Census here at the National Archives of Ireland:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/

4) Despite protesters, the roadway across Meath, near the Hill of Tara,
has been opened to traffic:
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/0604/1224271819706.html

5) An ad campaign for crisps (potato chips) was pretty saucy and over
300 complaints caused them to be pulled. “Hunky Dorys have seen a reported
17% increase in sales in N. Ireland”. One of the lines was:
Are you staring at my Crisps?. Photos and Story here:
http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/saucy-crisp-ads-see-sales-soar-2207436.html

6) Gleeson and Comer students take note. In Galway, Emma
Gleeson and Fiona Comer, never missed a day at school in 14 years ! Thats an impressive 2,299 days without a miss. The average student misses 12 or 13 days a year…. How about you ?
