« on: Wednesday 18 November 20 10:49 GMT (UK) »Hi, this family of O'shea's are also my family. The marriage connected to the tree was actually in Rathmore 1842.
I have DNA connections to descendants of Mary Shea who married John Riley and lived in Dilwyn and also to relatives of Mary O'shea who married John Jones and settled in Ffestiniog. I am certain there is must be a connection between the two families but am struggling to spot it at the moment. Jmol17 is likely correct that Mary in Dilwyn is John O'shea's sister.
If anyone has done a DNA test and uploaded to Gedmatch then my kit number is A780692 and my sister's is A595166.
