Ireland / Re: Irish Citzenship by Decent-by percentage
« on: Saturday 30 June 12 15:53 BST (UK) »I never claimed to be good at maths! lolI ask about percentage, because by such I have an equivalent percentage as if a grandparent was actually born there. The work out is as follows: 2 Great-Grandparents from Ireland=100% Irish grandmother=50% Irish parent=25% Irish me. Where as if 1 grandparent from Ireland=50% Irish parent=25% Irish me. Either way I work out to be the same percentage heritage.
I realise that in general that great-grandparents are considered to be too distant, however there is a major difference between 1 great grandparent ergo a 50% Irish grandparent and so on, and a 100% Irish grandparent...
Hellllllllllllllooooooooooooo Brendan
What’s with this adding up percentages ….. WHY would you add up percentages?
You have
2 parents 2/2 = 100%
4 grandparents 4/4 = 100%
8 great grandparents 8/8 = 100%
I think your Matherickings are a bit 'double dutch' to me
2 /8 greats were Irish = 1/4 OF THAT GENERATION were Irish = 25% of THAT GENERATION
Using your mathericking logickings and my fingers
4 grandparents = 12.5% Irish
2 parents generation = 6.25% Irish
I think you are 3.125 % Irish
What about the other 96.875%

Im gonna do that next summer. I won't be buying property for a while... still not sure... I want to become a solicitor, so, thats a big decision whether or not I want to become a US lawyer (and live in the US) or a Commonwealth Barrister/solicitor, and possibly work in Ireland..

Most certainly, however should I eventually decide to own property and such it makes things much easier, no?

Ireland / Irish Citzenship by Decent-by percentage

I am writing to inquire if any of you have any information regarding citizenship by decent.
As I mentioned in another thread, I have 2 great grandparents who were off the boat from Ireland. (Deceased.)
I was looking into the aforementioned topic and I noted that if your grandparent was born in Ireland you can claim it, but if your great grandparent was born there, your parent has to have claimed it prior to your birth. Now I was wondering if there is any way to claim it by percentage.

I do realise that this is rather non-standard. However it would be useful should I decide to take a Gap-year in Ireland..

Galway / Re: Trying to trace Irish ancestors- WALSH, Galway

John did not marry in the USA. He actually married (twice) in the USA.
Im gonna see if anyone else in the family knows the last name... maybe the source didn't know...
If it helps, Johns brother was imprisoned and 3 more were killed.... The inmate brother was later released to die of TB at home.

Alright, I wanted to avoid multiple threads, as I know some forums get a bit cheesed off when you make em... but in this case I will then....
Well Im looking for more information such as who the parents were, any emigration records (leaving) and the like. Other than that, that is as much as I know!
