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

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!

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?

For Carole Mary Hughes-Beeler - For any New York City vital information - you may try one of the following:  www.stevemorse.org - www.italiangen.org - or www.germangenealogygroup.com .  As far as your Patrick Hughes and Mary Reddington marriage goes... I did find one that might be a possibility, but it states his name as EDWARD Hughes, not Patrick.  Here is the information:

Mary Reddington and Edward Hughes - July 27, 1898 - Manhattan - Cert #2837.  All of those sites have a wealth of information besides vitals.  I do know someone that does get the certificates for others and I have used her services before, if you want the certificate.  Good luck!       Kathleen

Hi

I have just found  birth certificates for a couple of my ggg grandfathers children, in one it states he was a native of Belleny(?) Ireland and in another it says Drumore, Ireland. Ihave tried looking up Belleny without much success, could someone point me in the right direction?? Would Belleny be a Townland, I get a bit lost with the Townland, County etc in Ireland!!

Many thanks

Chris
