Tipperary / Re: James Fanning of Tipperary, Co Tipperary

Pete,

I live in US so probably won't have a chance to research in Dublin.  Also the Fannings in Australia probably wouldn't have the opportunity either.  If there is a better place to research, or a cheaper method of researching would you post links for us?

Many Catholic records in US are only accessible through Diocese and they will not allow the public to view records due to privacy issues, regardless of how old the records might be.  In reading the TFHR website, it seemed to me that was what they were saying in the topic of "Are Archives Public Records".

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cathy

Hi Jackie,

Do you know if your great great grandfather had any brothers?  Perhaps you can find other Fannings living in the same area and research them.  Often you will need to test uncles, or a least uncles of another generation.

Do you know what religion your family was?

I found a link that might be of use to you if they were Catholic.  http://www.tfhr.org/

Jackie,

Since his grandmother was a Fanning, that won't work for Y-DNA.  Y-DNA transfer from male to male.
MtDNA  (maternal transfer from female to son and daughter).  Son only passes on Y-DNA.

I have posted a link so that you can see the path of Y-DNA and MtDNA which is a simple pedigree chart.

Your uncle has a different surname than Fanning and his Y-DNA should have matches with that surname.
You would need to go back one more generation in your Fanning lineage to see if there is a male that had sons. You would then need to trace their lineage forward to see if there is someone to test.

Sometimes it is necessary to go back several generations to find males, which I know is very hard.

Regards, Cathy

FANNING Y-DNA project would like to have any male Fanning from Tipperary test for their project.
The link for the project is

Presently we have six members who have a paper trail to Ireland, four from US and two from Australia.

I can answer any questions by clicking on my name at bottom of page.

There is a holiday sale that is in effect until December 31.
