It was strange Robert because you recommended 23andme and then I got more and more busy with mum and didnt get to do the testing. Very recently at a genealogy society meeting the two sites recommended to me were 23andme and FTDNA. I got my 23andme part results yesterday and waiting on the rest of the ancestral data within the next fortnight. Best wishes.

I am M222 and don't find many Quinns in that group on FTDNA or where my Y group puts me with matches. Hope your Mom does well, Carol Ann. I am also on 23andme. Bob Quinn

But of course, this isn't the Quinn DNA unfortunately. I don't know anyone with the Quinn surname to ask them to take the test for the Y-chromosome. So who knows what good my DNA is going to be to me apart from finding people with different surnames that I have no knowledge of. Could be interesting though. The V Haplogroup is a rarity of 4%.

Robert Quinn - apologies I had to drop off the scene while caring for my mum and she is currently in hospital. However, I have had the 23andme testing done and my maternal line is V2 as is mums of course.

The first report for the O'Hourihane DNA project has been published.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~skibbgirl/Houriha...

The project seeks to recruit people with any of these Irish surnames in their ancestry: Arragan, Handrahan, Hanrahan, Haran, Harhan, Harragan, Harraghan, Harrigan, Haughran, Herrigan, Horan, Horgan, Horohan, Horrigan, Hourahan(e), Hourican, Hourigan, Hourihan(e), Howard, Organ

Male Y-DNA testers with this surname and anybody with one of these Irish surnames in their ancestry who takes an A-DNA test (Family Finder at FTDNA) is welcome to join the project.

Do any of you great people have any information regarding Penal Colonies in Australia?  According to my records my G-grandmother was born in Connecticut USA and then went to join her father in New South Wales.  She subsequently came to Ireland in 1869 where she remained the rest of her life.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as this brick wall is smothering me!

I am looking for any information about a William D. Sheehan born Mar 1869 and married Selma C Olson. Any info is appreciated.. I actually found a William D Sheehan on the Cherokee dawes rolls..but I am not sure it is the same one.

Does anyone have a good grip on migratory patterns/reasons of the Irish through Scotland to England to the Americas? Was this a common path in the early 1800s?

Comment by Tina Delaney Hogan on March 8, 2012 at 8:26am

Looking for anyone researching Delaney. I wish I could give a definite County for birth but there are so many rumors and documents with different places whirling around it has become a little overwhelming. My GGGrandfather John Delaney born 30 Sep 1824 or 1826. Different documents have both years. Grave marker says 1826. Obit says 1824. A family tree compilation says he is from County Meath (not sure where the information came from) however his obit states he is from County Clare immigrating and settling in Pennsylvania for a spell before moving on and settling in Allamakee, Iowa where he died in 1898. He first shows up in Allamakee in the 1856 Census with his Wife Mary Norton Delaney and daughter Bridget Delaney. Bridget was born in 1854 or 1855 again several census state different birth places Pennsylvania and Ireland. An Uncle on my Delaney side told me John and a brother were to be taken to Australia I am guessing as convicts and that John broke free and fled to the United States. No documents to back this. I don't know if Mary and John were married in Ireland or in the United States. I am unable to find anything on John, Mary and Bridget before 1856. Please Help?
