No luck on either site. We have matches in common, but that doesn't mean we match each other.
Thanks

Cork / Re: O達rien and Hourihane families
« on: Wednesday 11 January 23 18:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi Keith,
I recently came across a possible source (Ancestry) for my O'Brien family (under the name of Brien). Here are the names of the siblings. Your Jeremiah may be one of them. Are you on any DNA site so that we can see if we are related?
Jack
Margaret, baptized February 5, 1831
Honora, baptized May 10, 1836
Cornelius, baptized March 8, 1839
Denis, baptized April 28, 1842
The parents of each were Bartholomew O達rien and Margaret Lane.
A fifth possible child was Jeremiah, baptized August 21, 1833, also in Bandon. The parents were given as Prut Brien and Margt Laure
Denis could be my great great grandfather. I just came across a Hourihane who shares my haplogroup.

Hi Keith,
A brief description of Denis (and his brother Cornelius) O'Brien is on an earlier post in this group. Unfortunately I have not found any birth records for them in Bandon. I have come across two very distant O'Brien relatives through FTDNA. Their ancestors are John O'Brien, born in the 1800s in Bandon and Jeremiah O'Brien born c. 1830s in County Cork.
Denis had a son named Jeremiah. There was another Jeremiah O'Brien in Conshohocken, born in the 1820s in County Cork, came over in 1853 and died in 1883.

Actually, once you have tested with one company you can upload your results to many of the other companies. However, I'm trying to upload to findmypast from FTDNA and/or Ancestry and am having difficulties. But I'm sure I will get it.
I wouldn't worry about which side would dominate. It's random, so the chances that would happen are really slim. It's like flipping a coin and getting 10 heads (or whatever, depending on your country) out of 100 tries. The chance of that happening is infinitesimal. My brother and I are very closely related, DNA-wise. But we do have somewhat different relationships with more distant relatives.

Hi Valerie,
It's all frustrating because all I know is that
1. Denis O'Brien was born in Bandon in 1846.
2. His brother Cornelius was born within five years of 1846. That's all I know about the O'Brien family in Ireland, so unfortunately do not recognize any of your names.
3. They emigrated to Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, US, around 1868. There may have been other O'Briens in Conshohocken that preceded them, but I do not know who they were.
4. Hourihanes and my O'Briens are either related or were derived from each other, or both. This may have happened 200-300 years ago.
Have you uploaded your DNA to any site? I am on FTDNA, Geni, MyHeritage, gedmatch genesis, and Ancestry. I am distantly related to Hourihanes on FTDNA and Ancestry, at least. If you do use of of those sites, upload your DNA to gedmatch genesis, if you haven't done so, and I can probably find you if there is a relationship.
You do not have to be male for most of those sites. For example, FTDNA has a Family Finder for everyone. yDNA is for males, but mtDNA looks at female lines, although mutations are less frequent there.
Great talking with you.

To: VK (i cannot reply to PM)
Given the genetic distance with the Hourihanes on FTDNA I would estimate that my O'Brien/Hourihane connection was perhaps 300 years ago. My earliest known O'Brien ancestor was Denis, born 1846, in Bandon, County Cork.

I have two fairly distant Hourihane connections on FTDNA and three possible distant connections on Ancestry.
