Yes I believe I found it on Ancestry.

I have a baptism record for Bridget, Aug 5th 1831, Cork, Ballyhea, Diocese Cloyne. Parents are Thomas and Bridget. And of course Bridget's parents death records for Co. Tipperary. Could the baptism record be an entirely different family? We always thought Bridget was born in Tipperary.

In my USA matches, I have people at a top level who are not actually related to me! I will be doing quite a lot of emailing this weekend.
We ARE beginning to think Michael Welch married Margaret Glynn and may have even lived next to John in Delaware Co. IA. I think since he was born in 1811, he was John's brother. Lillian thinks he could be his father! There is a picture of the man on Ancestry now, but the poster is not even sure who exactly it is.

While Ancestry told me I had no matches in Ireland, My Heritage came up with 263 very minor DNA matches! Several were Walsh. I didn't get a hit on Hennessy though. And even more matches in the United Kingdom then anywhere except the United States!

The Hennessy family is turning out to be quite a problem. Dates and people! Jen from "The Formidable Genealogist & DNA Research" had told me quite some time ago that she thought I had the wrong Hennessy family in my tree! I have no doubt now.
I did receive a reply from Stephen Walsh in Great Britain today! I had mentioned his replies were gone from our messaging. And that he must have deleted them! That's all I said! But his entire reply was about NOT deleting messages! LOL! He is going to do some looking into his research and see what he can come up with!

Ancestry now has a world map of my DNA matches. There are none in Ireland now. But there are five in Great Britain. Very distant. I messaged a 'Stephen Walsh' in Britain, but I see I had written to him before and he replied. However he has deleted his replies.
I have messaged him again!
Yes, that Hennessy bunch is so confusing. That too is a mess!

"FAMILY SEARCH" is free. They may want you to just sign up and make a password.
This looks right for Bridget:

I was on Ancestry last night digging around under DNA. It gave John's approximate location between Loughrea (Co Galway) and Banagher (Co. Offlay). It did not give an exact location. Bridget was in the same area.
I still haven't paid Ancestry but they are letting me see certain things. 99% was from my mothers side.
All of my messages are useless in regards to the Welch side.
Gedmatch did not used to have so many names hidden, but they do now. And most of the close matches are relatives here in the states.
