Title: Palmer Family Coatbridge originally from Ireland
Post by: k1yak on Friday 19 May 17 12:22 BST (UK)
Good Morning,

I'm looking for some advice and help.  I have been looking into my Irish roots.  I have taken an Ancestry DNA test and it tells me I'm 13% Irish and my mother is 37% Irish. It told me it was in the Ulster area of Ireland.  Also, the name Palmer is more of a northern Irish surname.

The connection to Ireland is my 2 x Great Grandfather who was born in Ireland (1901/1911 Census Coatbridge Death Cert)  I can't find a birth cert.  On Samuels Marriage certificate it states mother as Margaret Palmer Nee Neilson.  and Father being Samuel Palmer deceased farm laborer (1895 Marriage)

His mother was Margaret Jane Neilson/Palmer died in Coatbridge 1920 her father was John Neilson and Mother Mary Harvey (Can't find anything connecting these names)  I thought maybe the names are wrong..  but Samuel named one of his children Peggy Jane Neilson Palmer.  I have tried wildcard searches on the names.  I have found a Will connecting a Margaret with a Samuel Palmer and a newspaper clipping connecting the names but nothing else.

The last strange thing is Samuel 2 x great grandfather had a brother John on his death certificate it states his father was a John Samuel???????..

Any help would be much appreciated.  I have also contacted the GRONI and they have no record. I have checked the Poor Records at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow nothing...
