County Laois coat of arms
Not to be confused with a Southeast Asian country, Co. Laois, which sounds like "leash", is Ireland's most landlocked county, bordering on no other coastal counties. Mostly pastoral countryside and bogs, Laois brings in relatively few visitors, save for the first weekend in September, when hordes of musos and fanboys pour in for the Electric Picnic rock festival at Stradbally Hall.
Co. Laois, credit: laoistourism.ie
Formerly known as "Queen's County", Laois got its current name after the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. The county town, Portlaoise, has seen a fair bit of industrial development over the past decade, but many Laoise residents opt to commute to Kildare or as far afield as Dublin for high-tech jobs.
Heywood Gardens, Co. Laois
The Slieve Bloom Mountains cover a huge portion of the northwest part of Laois, spilling over into Co. Offaly and providing some 480 km of walking trails, including the well-trodden Slieve Bloom Way.

Historically, Laois goes back thousands of years. A preserved Bronze Age stone circle at Monamonry and several hill forts at Clopook, Monelly and, especially, Skirk, offer a view to the county's ancient past. Early Christian remains culminate in the Rock of Dunamase, a 9th-century monastic fort that was partially blown up by Oliver Cromwell's invading armies in the 17th century.

The impressive Emo Court House and Gardens in Portlaoise were built in the 1790s for an English earl and strongly resemble the austere, neoclassical style of architect James Gandon, who also designed the Four Courts and Custom House in Dublin.

Interestingly and perhaps surprisingly, Laois became the first place in Ireland with an African mayor, when in 2009, Portlaoise elected Nigerian-born Rotimi Adebari to office. Other notable Laois people include the first Roman Catholic mayor of New York City, William Russell Grace, as well as beloved Irish celebrity chef, Darina Allen, who was born in Portlaoise.

(Part 1 of 3) The Moore name has a long history in the British Isles, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the north-west region of the Emerald Island. The Moore story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup D2] can trace their beginnings to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Moore surname origin is from the Cenél Conaill [R1b-L513, Subgroup D] who found the Dál Fiatach.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) A group will also found the Kingdom of Ercing in Wales as trade with Romans will become essential around 300 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Moore story begins in pre-history Ireland but this line and many of his kin will move to Wales, then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

From the ebook, “The Tribe Within” learn how DNA unfolds this amazing tale and if you look in the right places, how history narrates this evidence.

I'm looking for information on a John Delaney born in Ireland, The birthdate that we have is 29 Oct 1809. He came to America in 1843 and settled in Parnell, Mi. His birthdate is likely form the St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Parnell. I have not been able to confirm where he was from in Ireland, but there are some hints that he might have been from Offaly. His parents names may have been John and Bridget, but I have not been able to confirm this. Many Irish immigrants settled in Parnell. Those in my family include the last names of Conaty, Flynn, Noonan, and Gleason. In no case can I trace them back to the parents or even counties of origin in Ireland with any solid evidence. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

most Irish Delaney don't agree with the name meaning black slaney as the old irish clan area has nothing to do with the area of the river slaney but would be more for black challenge or defiance and are their origin tuatha was in the north loais upland area are are the tuatha of the fruit tree

Hello, I am looking for any information regarding Silvester Gormicon. He married Mary Flynn and had 4 children together. All children were bapitised in Meath. Oldest born 1914, youngest born 1832. I have found baptisms for 4 of 5 children, but cannot find anything more regarding Silvester or Mary Flynn.
Gorman
I am tracing ancestry of Patrick Gorman and Eliza Sanders who emigrated from Liverpool 1834 on the ship, Briton, after marrying at St Paul's, Arran Quay, Dublin in April 1834. Parents' names James & Mary (m.n. unknown). A brother, John, emigrated with his wife, Judy and children, Mary, Anne, Bridget on The Bee, 1856. Patrick's death certificate has place of birth as County Galway. Patrick & Eliza settled firstly in Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia from 1834 then Dapto, New South Wales, from c. 1840. Children of Patrick & Eliza, all born New South Wales, Australia: Patrick b 1834; John b 1835; Mary b 1839; Bridget b 1841. Jill
Gorman
I am looking for living relatives to Patrick Gorman and Eliza Sanders who, it is believed, emigrated from Liverpool 1834 on the ship, Briton, after marrying at St Paul's, Arran Quay, Dublin in April 1834. Parents' names unknown; siblings of Patrick are unknown. Patrick's death certificate has place of birth as County Galway but no other details given. Patrick & Eliza settled firstly Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia from 1834 then Dapto, New South Wales, from c. 1840. Children of Patrick & Eliza, all born New South Wales, Australia: Patrick b 1834; John b 1835; Mary b 1839; Bridget b 1841. Patrick was a farmer. Have done extensive genealogy searches for ancestry but to no avail. Visiting Ireland October 2018; would be great to link
Gorman
Anthony Barrett
(Part 1 of 3) The Gorman name has a long history in Ireland, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the south-west region of the Emerald Island. The Gorman story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup O2] can trace their beginnings to what is now County Kerry from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Gorman surname origin is possibly a branch of what will become the Dáirine [R1b-L513] who are found in south Ireland around 300 CE.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Dáirine will join with the Dál Riata of north-east Ireland and invade Scotland around 500 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Gorman story begins in pre-history Ireland but many of his descendants will then move to Kintyre, Scotland where they and other R1b-L513 members will form the Dalriada. This line and many of his kin will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

Hi Lee Doran is my name. Family came from Ireland in the 1940's. Arthur Doran grandfather, moved to Australia.
My father born in 1943 Trevor Doran was the eldest of 5 orphaned children. He passed when I was only 7 leaving me with little knowledge of my family. I would like to connect. Also looking for Anthony Doran. Born in the 1940's not sure what year.
Doran Ward
My Irish ancestor was Jane Doran from Fermoy in Cork, Ireland. She was born in 1847 and emigrated to New York in 1863 in time to see Lincoln's funeral cortege. Her brother Jeremiah came here closer to the turn of the century, but moved to California.. She was my grandmother's grandmother, both very loved. My mother Jane remembered her fondly,and named me for her. My first name is Doran.

Duff
Anthony Barrett
(Part 1 of 3) The Duff, Duffy, MacDuff, Kilduff and Black names can be found throughout Ireland and Scotland, but its origin according to DNA is from the north-west coast of the Emerald Island. The Duff story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup A1] can trace their origins to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Duff surname origin which means black is from a Northern Ui Neill [R1b-L513] tribe. The Cenél Eoghan and the tribes of Donegal conquered much of Ulster (Derry and Tyrone).
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) Cenél Eoghan will expand across northern Ireland with their cousins Cenél Conaill and the Northern Ui Neill between 500-800 BCE. The clans of Finn Valley have the same DNA as people from Gwynedd in Brittany. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. This Duff story begins in pre-history Ireland then moves to Scotland as they form part of the Dalriada. Descendants of their tribe will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

I'm looking for more information about my Brophy family. My 4th GG William Brophy was born in Ireland in 1788. At some point he ended up in Knox County Virginia married to Ellen Brennan from Maryland and had Daniel in 1833, John in 1834 and George in 1835. I'd like to know where he was from, who his parents are, when he came to America and why...for starters. Thanks!!

I am looking for information regarding my Great Grandfather Matthew Patrick Deegan who was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1855. He married and moved to London circa 1890. He was a tailor.

can anyone help me get a copy of my Grandfathers birth certificate? I have been able to trace it back to Caherconlesh, a small village south of Limerick in County Limerick. My great-grandparents were James Deegan ( i believe from County Leix/ Laois or County Offley ) and Mary Hanleywho was born in Caherconlesh. Thank you all and bless you all for your help.
Deegan
Is this the same Deegan as Cloncourse castle built by John O'Duigan in 1636? Also any relation to James Deegan memorialized on the mounment in Mountmellick dedicated to the Eleven brave Irishman hung by the British for supporting the Wolfe Tone rising in 1798? Finally, if you could have your genealogists confirm this is the correct coat of arms for Deegan. I have been corrected by an Irish historian that the correct coat of arms is the one shown on www.allfamilycrests.com that shows an oak tree on a hill with two intertwined snakes around the trunk. thank you for your assistance in clarifying these questions foe me. I have been researching these since 2012 but after suffering a mini-stroke in 2005 that affected my right frontal lob i have had concentration and recollection issues due to the fatigue and depression. And yes, based on what you find for these questions, I would like to consider hiring your best ancestral and genealogy researchers.

I am descended from Michael John Duigan baptised in Dublin in 1839 whose parents I know nothing of were John Joseph Duigan and Judith Mulhall except some now deceased family said "they were from the west"... Michael Duigan and his siblings John , Henry and Elizabeth migrated to Australia and we have fairly good records of them and their descendants in Australia. All ideas on how to track down John Joseph and his spouse Judith Mulhall could let us move through our current "Brickwall"..Mike Shone - email - mjshone@gmail.com

I am trying to find out about my grandfather's side of my family, his name was Michael John (i think this was his middle name) Deegan, I think he was born in 1941, he died in 2000 I think but due to family quarrels I lost all contact with him when I was around 7/8 (sometime in the mid 1990's) so I never got to learn about my ancestors/heritage and would really like to know more about them
Deegan
My grandfather was Patrick James Deegan from Downpatrick. born circa 1910. as Dagens, to Alexander Dagens/Deegan and Brigid Riley . any relations out there? my father was Kevin Patrick Deegan born in Birmingham. 1942. the family is spread out and ive lost touch with almost all of them. i have spent five years seeking the ancestry and now have all of the certificates going back to the early 1900s if anyone needs it among my siblings or cousins for their Citizenship. i would like to know more about my Irish family and to find relatives if they are out there.

Hello, I am searching for information on my Ancestors..their Name is Lawley and stem from Laois. They became quite a substantial family in Birmingham, England but occasionally returned to Laois for Births, weddings, funerals and Baptisms. I am trying to locate the mother of Joseph Patrick Lawley born about 1845, queenscourt, county laois, Ireland. He unfortunately died about JUL 1916 • Aston, Warwickshire, England.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Kevin Corcoran
I've been tracing my family history for the last two years. I live in upstate, New York in the U.S., but my paternal great-grandfather, who migrated to the U.S., along with his sister, in the early 1850s, was from County Laois. I don't have many Irish records of him or his sister, but I did find a marriage record and property rental record that reference two places in County Laois; Crissard and Cropard. I have managed to find Crissard, which I believe is (or perhaps was?) a Townland in the County, just a bit north/northwest of Wolfhill. I can find no other references to a place called Cropard in County Laois, however. Is there such a place in the County? Perhaps it is a place name that is no longer in use? I also realize that it could have simply been a recording error.
Thank you for your time.
