Quinn, Norris, Nickerson, McAfee, Dickerson - these are the Irish lines I am looking for and hope to find others possible doing the same.

GGrandfather Frank Quinn (designer of Catholic vestments) immigrated 1876, lived NYC and Phila. but mainly Pittsburgh marrying Mary ? from Maryland or PA. Looks like he passed between 1912 and 1917 based on WWI draft info. They had 4 children (Bernice, John Gregory, Leo Bernard & Stella) all of whom more or less "disappeared" as I have nothing beyond 1930 census except my grandfather Leo's death cert. I have no info on Frank Quinn's parents or IRE town of origin outside a ship doc that "might" be him but otherwise, nada....

GGGrandparents Robert & Martha A Norris immigrated in 1851, settled in Smyrna DE, apparently he fought for the Union in the Civil War but I'm looking to find where  in IRE they came from -- his parents: Robt Norris & Elizabeth Nickerson; her parents: James McAfee & unknown.

Robt & Martha's son Chas K (my GGF) married a Fannie E Dickerson also of Smyrna but I have zero on her too. Would be thrilled if anyone has any connection.

First stop for finding a location in Ireland:  Google.  There are lots of other resources, but in this case  the search turns up a Library Ireland entry for Ballymadun or  Ballymodum.  Co Dublin.  There will be Civil Registration records from GRO and maybe parish records. Check Irish Family History Foundation.  I would also suggest doing a Google search for "Charles Henry Breadmore" with the quotes.

Hello Everyone

I am new to this list therefore this is my 1st post and hope someone can help me wirh the following:

According to the military records of my Great Grandfather Charles Henry Breadmore it states the following

he was in the Army of England

he was born Birmingham England 1862

he married Ann Murphy January 10, 1884 in Ballymodun (nothing else as to where Ballymodun is) I do know Ann of Annie as other records indicate was born in Ireland Abt. 1863.

My questions are 

Where is Ballymodun? Is it possible to get marriage records from there? If anyone has any other info about Annie and Charles' marriage or info a regarding Annie's parents or siblings it would be very much apprieciated.

Thank you in advance

I have just created a website for my Barnetts who migrated from Ireland.
I plan to add more documents at a later date, but need to get it going.
it is: http://www.barnetts-r-us.com
Right now It may not come up in a search.  I found it by Googling:
"Barnetts in Kentucky".   Please take a look at it!

Hello,

 

I have Doyles out of Cladybeg, County Armagh, and Campbells out of places  yet unknown (they went back to Scotland in the early 1800s, but I don't know whence they came).

 

If you have any information you would like to trade, please let me know.

Thank you,
Angela

The DNA studies are wonderful!  I am enrolled in the CROW/CROWE DNA study and learned that my family had settled in the Spartanburg, SC, area during the late 1700's.

 

Another DNA study which a cousin has joined proved that I have a Scottish nobleman, Alexander Irvine, 10th Laird of Drum, in my tree and from Alexander, I can find links to Scottish and English nobility including several persons of royal blood, including David The Bruce of Scotland.

 

I'd recommend DNA for anyone seriously interested in their family lines...
