I am researching many names in Ireland and am interested in anyone with these surnames there: Doolin, Ogan and Talley/Tally. I don't know where these ancestors lived in Ireland. I also run the DNA projects for each of these names. If anyone is a male and bears that surname, they are eligible to test. Please see the websites at:

I'm also seeking more information on William Gilmore and his family who once lived in the Dublin area (pre 1800) and whose son Robert lived in Donaghadee, Co Down, Ireland before 1838. Robert m. Helen Storrier there and moved to America ca 1838, settling in Rochester, NY. Helen's parents David Storrier and Maragaret Lyall lived in Dundee, Co Angus, Scotland before going to Donaghadee where they and their sons help rebuild the harbor ca 1820s.

Looking for Riddell family of Northern Ireland, Londonderry, Coleraine. Family tradition says Ballaymeath but I have never found the Ballaymeath location. The Riddell Genealogy written by William Pitt Riddell hints that the family may have come from Londerry, Coleraine.

My dad's 2nd great-grandmother, Mary McDue (daughter of John & Sicily W. McDue of Ireland) was born in Ireland about 1826. She immigrated to Upper Canada (Ontario) and married Dudley Wade in 1842. I would love to learn more about her ancestors.
On my mom's side, James Cauldwell and his wife, Mary Gaston Cauldwell, immigrated from Ireland to New Jersey abt. 1732. Mary's father was an immigrant to Ireland from Scotland, and I'm pretty sure his family was originally French. I don't know anything about James' ancestry yet.
