County Tyrone coat of arms
The largest county in Northern Ireland, Co. Tyrone also boasts some of the most beautiful scenery on the island, thanks largely to the heathery peaks of the Sperrin Mountains, which stretch across the central and eastern portions of Tyrone and into Co. Londonderry.

Hillwalkers certainly won't want to miss out on the 48-km Central Sperrins Way, a marked circular trail that starts from the Glenelly Valley near the village of Plumbridge, and continues across a varied selection of roads, field tracks and open moors, as well as a blanket bog.
Tyrone's county town is Omagh, a place that resounds in most minds with the 1998 Real IRA bombing, but today it is rather quietened, with a lovely canal and church steeples that rise above the picturesque town centre. Omagh is also home to the rather twee Ulster American Folk Park, an open-air "living museum" that chronicles the relations between Ulster and the U.S. Exhibitions here mostly show off homemaking skills like baking and sewing, conspicuously leaving out any mention of more recent exchanges between Ulster and the U.S., especially as they would relate to The Troubles.

The Beaghmore Stone Circles are a series of seven ancient ceremonial stone circles located off the A505 west of Cookstown. It is believed that Neolithic farmers cleared the early woodland here to make room for the site, which in addition to the circles, includes 12 cairns and 10 stone rows.

Sport is an important part of Tyrone life and identity, especially Gaelic football, of which the county has won three All Ireland titles and 13 Ulster titles. Peter Canavan, who captained the Tyrone team to its first All Ireland title in 2003, is from Glencull near Ballygawley. PGA golfer, Darren Clarke, is from Co. Tyrone's other large town, Dungannon.
Other famous Tyrone people include folk singer Paul Brady, writer Flann O'Brien and John Dunlap, who printed the first American newspaper and the U.S. Declaration of Independence.

According to the Book "History of Alabama and Her People" by Albert Burton Moore, my 4th Great Grandfather, James M. Smith had origins in Ireland. Unfortunately, the book never clearly states where from. He was born c. 1778, but isn't clear on the place. His first born, Daniel Ulysses Smith was born in Georgia,USA while all other children were born in Alabama, USA. Is anyone familiar with this family?
Anthony Barrett
(Part 1 of 3) The Smith name has a long history in the British Isles, but now DNA and some recorded history says one of its origins is from the north-west region of the Emerald Island. The Smith’s of Cavan 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. This Smith 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 Smith 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.

My name is Sally and I am looking for James Wilson. Actually the first Wilson in Ireland of our family came from Scotland about 1590 or so. I have a letter from a relative who says that in 1600 the Wilson in Ireland lost all three sons to drowning in the well on the farm in County Longford – just south of County Cavan. His first name is not known but the letter said that after those deaths, he moved north to County Cavan. Clearly the family remained in County Cavan for over 200 years.
The earliest documented Wilson was John Wilson who was born about 1760 in County Cavan, Ireland. He had two sons - including William Wilson who was born in County Cavan, Ireland in 1790. He married Esther Coote (also from County Cavan) and they had 7 of their children born in Ireland. The nine of them then they made their way to Canada from Ireland – quite a trip. That was about 1840. (Their last child born in Ireland was born in October of 1839 and their next child was born in Ontario in 1843.)
William and Esther settled in Cobourg, Ontario and then commenced to have 5 more kids – for a total of 12

My mother’s maiden name was Mary Elizabeth Wilson, from Cokeburg, Pa. She married my father, Frank Leslie Grimes Sr on October 25th 1958, in Washington County Pa. They had 5 children and resided in Pittsburgh Pa. Her father’s name was Howard Wilson and her her mother’s name was Ollie Amanda Rose. They lived in Washington Pa and had 6 children, I believe. However 3 of them passed away very young. Austin Wilson, 12 and Frances Wilson, 10. There was also an infant who passed but I’m not sure of the sex, name or age. They are all buried at Mt. Calvert cemetery in Scenery Hill Pa. Howard left my grandmother shortly after the last one passed. So I’ve been told and possibly started working on the railroads.

This was written by my father beginning with his Grandfather Alexander:
Alexander Wilson was brought up somewhere in the parish of Redrock,
Market Hill, Armagh and it would seem that he married sometime between
1840-50. He and his wife set up home in a small farm in the town land of Lisbane, Armagh (this farm is now owned by the Carmichael family). He also had a leather business and manufactured boots at the lower end of Thomas Street, Armagh. Alexander Wilson and his wife, Margaret, had six of a family, William, James, Alexander, Margaret, Eliza and Joseph.
William emigrated to the Americas in his youth and was very little heard off.
James carried on his fathers business and it would appear, was very
successful He later owned the Mancheste

"From History of Scott County, Iowa 1882 Chicago: Interstate Publishing Co."
James Wilson, farmer and stock-raiser, Le Claire, Iowa, was born in Donegal, Ireland, in 1825, and came to the United States in 1855 and located in Le Claire Township, where he has followed farming since. In 1849 married Jane Galligher; she was born in Ireland. There was a family of 13 children, nine of whom are living, viz.: William, Susan, Nathaniel, Thomas, Sarah J., Andrew, John, Margaret and Mary E. Mrs. Wilson died in 1872. She was a member of Seceeders church. Mr. Wilson has 320 acres of land valued at $75 per acre in Le Claire Township, and 160 acres in Poweshick Co., Iowa, valued at $35.

This Wilson story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup FA] can trace their beginnings to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE.

Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Wilson story begins in pre-history Ireland but this descendant will then move to Wales where the family can be traced back to their Welsh tribe Cydifor Fawr.

(Part 1 of 3) The Campbell name is from Scotland, but its origin according to DNA is from the north-west coast of the Emerald Island. The Campbell 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 Campbell surname origin 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 Gwened 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. The Campbell 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.

Hello everyone I Am Adekunle Hughes a black man from Nigeria ,that as been asking where are we originated from from my dad and grandfather , all they can say is that One Philip Hughes can you Nigeria as a missionary and decide to take a wife from Nigeria so he got a Nigeria woman pregnant and took her down to , I think Wales or Irish they said . So I think they got married and have 4 children so one of the children wish is black decided to come back to his mother land and he decide to leave here , that why we are here ...but I really need to know more because I love my family Name .
Julie M Hughes
I wish there was a way to reply to a specific comment on this post... The gentleman that mentioned his family was traced back to Upper Pig Pen in Yancy Co, NC... This is also the general area my dad and grandfather were in as well. I would love more info on your family history to see if there is relation...
Hughes
My GRANDFATHER Richard Sims was from Hughes he had an old bond book of family history. My uncle Timothy Sims had Notebooks made for everyone but the history is amazing but it only goes back as far as 50 BCE Donegal. but it does state we are from Whales. Aunt Tony, she did a DNA and there traces of Jews decent. So I could also see where the snake comes from in the bible when that saved the life of many Israelites.
Hughes
Please note the Hughes family surname project at Family Tree Dna. It is the only compiled and in progress compilation of hughes dna in the public realm that I know of. We are such a great family we should know as much as possible about our family lines. Mine goes back to Jeremiah Hughes Sr. b.1785 of Upper Pig Pen area of Yancey County, North Carolina, United States. My people are represented on the last lineage of the dna colorized public spreadsheet on this study.

Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Hughes surname origin is from Clan Domnaill [DNA Tribe R1b-L513, Subgroup B1] and relations who remain in Ireland take the modern surname (O)’Donnelly, McDonald, Donohue, and O’Donoghue in Ireland.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Domnaill name is also found in Brittany, France. It is a very old name which appears in the 5th century Roman inscriptions as Dumnovellaunos in Brittany meaning “Deep Valour” equivalent to Irish Domhnaill. 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.

My ancestors came from Scotland around 1650 when they refuse to give allegience to the stuart they where
forced to cross the st gorges channel to arrive in Ireland where they have been called the warrior
around 1822 most of them move to the states some of them stayed in new york where my father born
and some others move to colorado and california this is what i know to day
and i born myself in Paris france hi hi such is life !
Hamilton
The name makes no sense if it comes from villages in England called Hamildon etc why is there no one or little to no one with the correct spellings for there surnames. There are people however with the surname Hambleton and there are places in Yorkshire possibly more called this. I can believe some Hamilton’s came from Hambleton but not Hambledon because of this. There are other things about the name like it originating in Leicester which I will leave for another day.
Cris Hamilton
My ancestors, John Hamilton came to Virginia (now W. Virginia) in 1742. They went down the Ohio with family friends, the Robertson’s to Indiana Territory. The first white child born in Indiana Territory was Amanda (?) Hamilton to James Hamilton & one of the Robertson daughters.They were originally from near Hamilton, Scotland Craignethan Castle by way of County Armagh, Ireland where they spent 8 years. I got this from a great aunt.

For VirginiaKathleen look at my addition to above text re the synonymous usage of Lynchahan and Lynch in 19th century Registers in Inishowen, Donegal, as noted by the Register General Matheson in his Varieties Synonymes of Surnames...in Ireland 1901. This means a strong likelihood of Donegal Lynches being O Loingseachain, especially taken together with the comments of Woulfe, supra.

My mother always told me we were descended from the Galway Lynches, but her mother Katherine Bridget Lynch and her 7 siblings were born in Moville, Co. Donegal. Her father, Edward Lynch, was a marine engineer, and her mother, Katherine McLaughlin, was a District Nurse. They resided on Quay St. and sadly, died at young ages, when my grandmother was 9 leaving 8 orphaned children 5 of which were minors. They went to live in a Catholic orphanage across the Bay of Inishowen in Derry. My grandmother immigrated to NY and Brooklyn in 1911. Later married John Barr of Ballymacarthur, Donegal. Hello...
alynch
Lynching is attributed to Charles Lynch 17361796, an American Revolutionary who headed a Virginia court punishing supporters of the British. I prefer the story I was passed down, that it originates from a Mayor of Galway, James Lynch, who hung his son from the balcony of his house in 1493.

which has been absorbed by Kiltycloger. Most of his children were born in Manor Hamilton which is between Kiltycloger and Drumkeeren. I have been researching my family and I do not know, but we could be somehow related. However, of my ggfather's 10 children, 8 immigrated to the US about 1892, but they all went to Chicago, not NY.

All I know is that my mother was brought to the U.S. by a catholic orphanage and obtained a green card before I was born in 1986.

Greetings and Happy St. Patricks Day to all. I have been searching for information on my great grandfather James Gallagher. To the best of my knowledge, he was born in Co. Leitrim 1868-1872. On his New York City death certificate it lists his parents as James Gallagher and Bridget McPartland both of Ireland. He left Ireland around 1892 and settled in Brooklyn, New York. He married Anna Woods who was born in Drumkeeran, Co. Leitrim. I have been unable to find any information on my ggf James and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

My Grandfather's family raised and trained thorobred horses. One of his baby sister's was trampled by a horse accidentally and died. Two of his older brothers beat up a Priest once and his injuries were so severe that he died. The two boys were sent off to serve in a war from their actions. My father, Hugh Alexander McKenzie came to Canada to work on the railroad. I don't know who his parents or siblings were. Also, apparently as the story goes, his family (the McKenzie's) were kicked out of Scotland for stealing sheep. Then his Father married an Irish woman.

I am looking for my great-great grandfather John Quinn who was perhaps born in Galway in either late 1700's or early 1800's . May have relatives in Tyrone or Cavan Ireland also. He went to Liverpool, Lacashire, England and had a daughter by the name of Mary Ann Quinn who is my great-grandmother,

Quinn - why only the famous? Mine certainly were not! I would love to know where the Enniscorthy Quinns lived prior to Enniscorthy and 1800’s but have already been told it is impossible to trace my Quinn family - yet Ive been able to get back further than a lot of people researching Irish ancestry. .
My Quinns are from Enniscorthy, County Wexford, today and back to early 1800 John Quinn.
Johns son James Q married Bridget Redmond (1825bn) c1844 NLI - daughter of James Redmond and Kitty Kavanagh married Enniscorthy 1811 (NLI)
Their son Thomas Quinn c1850-1939 married Elizabeth Brien
Thomas daughter Mary Eliza Quinn, my Grandmother 15/1/1897 Enniscorthy, (family in 1901/1911 Census Shannon Hill Urban) married England 20/12/1923, died Slough England 1988 .
Thomas son Francis known as Frank married Annie Dixon - fought wars in many places overseas and their descendants still live Enniscorthy today
Thomas son James bn 1886, started as a cleaner and was in the Irish Guards went to war - was wounded (shell shot) in France and returned to either England or Enniscorthy. He did definitely return to Enniscorthy soon after and then left again (family said to America? Never to be heard from again - his Uncle Patrick Ann Quinn is still alive but a very sick man who would love to know what really happened to James. Patrick has just done DNA testing in an effort to try to find descendants of James. My Mother only knew her Mother and Frank but had no other information on the Irish family at all. Unfortunately mum passed away 4 years ago age 91 and I only found my Enniscorthy family in June this year.
My brother and I have also done DNA testing so I know where we connect up with the other Quinn strands in Enniscorthy and have shared this information with my family connection. 23andme say my famous ancestor is Benjamin Franklin and Bono lol. FTDNA dont offer this. I tested at both sites.
Kind regards Carol

(Part 1 of 3) The Quinn 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 Quinn 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 Quinn 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 Quinn 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.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 3 of 3) Discover their newly found untold story and how forgotten texts bring their story back to life. 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. There is another written account of their story, but it is camouflaged in smoke and myth – it will become the tales of King Arthur.

My Great, Great Grandfather was Graham McNamee of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, just outside of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. His wife's name was Ann Grant of Norfolk ,Virginia. Their daughter, my Great Grandmother was Della McNamee who later married George Benjamin Kline of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. They had three children, George B. Kline, Raymond Kline, and Ina Mae Kline. I have birth dates for Della that are 1848 and 1854. I'm not sure which is correct but I think 1848 may be correct. Della McNamee Kline died in Washington County ,Pennsylvania in 1936.

Hello! I am looking for information about my great grandfather, William Mc Loughlin born in Ireland - not sure if 1835 or 1840 and deceased in Salto, Argentina in 1895. Son of James Mc Loughlin and Mary Duffy. and husband of Winnifred Muldoon, from Legan, Co. Longford, born in 1845 and deceased in 1896 in Salto, Argentina. Thank you!
McSeain
My father's name is Daniel Bryan Johnson, and a 23&Me DNA test I took informed me that I am very Irish and a descendant of Niall of the Nine Hostages, but I guess that's supposed to be common. That said, my father's family has been no help, and what little info I find is super expensive or so generic as to be useless. Long ago I lost all the info to the 23&Me test I took (not trusting it at the time, I made an email just for it and, after pretty much giving up a few years ago, I had forgotten all the log in info and all that is lost to me now) and now with my third child on the way I am coming at this again. Any info on related surname projects or anything related to the Sept would be most welcome.
Mcshane
There is some vague family history that "Jackson" was once known as McShane. I believe I have traced lineage on my fathers side of "Jackson's" back to about 1790's in wexford ireland. A Marshall Jackson. Any info you have to help trace this family lore of a name change would be helpful.
Gilmartin
I am looking for my Dads Mothers People. The Gilmartin Sisters Lived in Hoboken NJ in 1926
Besy , Moxie and Jenny. Besy Became a Wanzel and Jenny became a Peterson but died in child birth in 1926. She was my dads mother. Her sister Besy (Elizabeth) adopted my dad Thomas. Jenny was Married to Fred Peterson and had a son George also. All the sisters came from Ireland. I know there mother was a Gilmartin but became a Hawks and moved to upstate NY. Moxie had a daughter named Margret and she married a Cliff Giddings and moved to NJ. If anyone knows our family please let me know. I would live to trace my heritage.

Mainly found in Ulster. Other spellings of the Lafferty clan include - Laverty, Laferty, and Laherty. The Irish translation, Laifeartaigh, means prince, ruler and noble. Lord of Elagh in county Donegal was the Chief of the Lafferty or Laverty tribe. He was described as the most worthy heir of Tyrone. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of OLaherty, which was dated circa 1560, in the Elizabethian Fiant Litterae Patentes, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1 of England, known as Good Queen Bess, 1558 - 1603.

My father Patrick Mullan Emerson st waterside Derry married to Marjorie Murphy. My Grandfather Patrick Mullan Drumsurn Co Derry married to Catherine . My Great grandfather David Mullan Drumsurn co Derry. Catholics. my grandfather was the result of my great grandfathers second marriage to a lady with the sir name of Simpson.

Linda Ragsdale
My grandmother is Nellie Mae Crossan from america, Kansas City Missouri, I believe. And her ancestry get cut short, is missing information, after my greats I believe. Any information about my ancestry from that side is appreciated. Her husband was, Lawrence Ragsdale, I already know about the Ragsdales, from the famous Godfrey Ragsdale but much to learn about the Welsh Crossan side, from Wales.
Lunney
My great great grandfather came to America sometime in mid 1860 into the port of Boston, Ma. The problem is his name maybe Thomas F Lunney of John Lunney. Wife’s name is Mary Moran. I am trying to find out in what county they may have come from. I realize the information is scant but any suggestions would be appreciated.
Lunney
My great grandfather was Thomas F Lunney son of John Lunney and Mary Moran. This information is per Thomas F’s 21 September 1893 marriage license in Boston Ma. However his birthday certificate of 20 March 1863 Brookline, MA. states his father is Thomas J. I have tried numerous genealogy sources and cannot find anything on the Lunney Sept. other than maybe they are from Northern Ireland.
Here in the US the name Lunney has been written as Larney, Lunny, and Lunney. I do not have any to my knowledge famous Lunney ancestry.

Phillip Hagan born May 15 1940 died October 11 2018. I was always told of our ancestors trip from Ireland and I've always wanted to go meet our family. Very far removed I'm sure. We have been in America for centuries now, but I would love to know for sure if we are part of the O'Hagen clan

I live in Argentina and my grandfather was born in Ireland. His name was Gerald and he studied in Trinity College. He came to Argentina near 1900/1915 to play fotball. I have a photography of that moment.
My dream is to travel to Ireland and to get in touch with family members O'Hagan, Murtagh, Reynods & Ross. They were all my grandparents.
Kind Regards
