Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Scottish DNA
« on: Monday 26 April 21 13:04 BST (UK)  »
Having believed for many years my Fathers's family were 100% Irish, we DNA tested and found we carry a high percentage of Scottish DNA, and have since found that there were quite a few Poland/Polin's who commuted between the two countries if anyone knows of this family name common in Scotland I would love to know where so I can begin to research for missing ancestors, thank you.

Down / Irish emigration
« on: Monday 26 April 21 12:44 BST (UK)  »
I would like to know if there are shipping records of passengers who left Ireland in the mid 1800's to settle in England and if so where would I access them, I have a GGM who settled in Liverpool with 2 of her children leaving 2 behind in County Down until later, but GGF doesn't appear in any census so I am assuming that she was widowed before she left, any clue would be helpful,  Thank you

Down / Re: Roman Catholic Chapel, Newry

  I think we may have ancestors in common, I grew up as Poland and after researching my Irish roots I now know it is Polin or Pullin, my Grandfather Peter Polin (Poland) was born in Newry in 1855, Brother James, 1847, sisters Margaret 1852 an jane 1857, their parents were Francis Polin (1825?) and Elizabeth Jane McEvoy 1826, in Derrylecka Newry, I have been in contact with a DNA match here in Australia who descends from Patrick Polin and Mary Ann Larkin,( Parents Edward Polin/Pullin? ) and Alicia Mcgee, I am exploring him as being a possible sibling to my Francis, any information on the family would be very much appreciated as it has taken me 10 years just to get this far.
