O達rien and Hourihane families

[chelan90]

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.

Thank you Jack.  I will get back to you WHEN I've taken that next step!

Through atDNA clusters I have come across my wife's MANNING family also went by the name of BRIEN. These are the ones around Dunmanway in West Cork. As an example, a daughter was baptised as MANNING but married as BRIEN.

I understand the agnomina "Mangan or Mongan" for BRIEN Mangan, as an example, was anglicized to MANNING to explain this. I believe in this case, Mangan may mean "hairy".

I am actively crossmatching atDNA from descendants in this cluster if anyone want to contact me about it. See "My Irish Genealigy" on Facebook.

Chelan 90.  I am interested in O'Briens from Bandon. My 2x great grandfather, Jeremiah O'Brien was born in Bandon circa 1833.

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.

Please forgive me for not responding earlier Jack!  That is most kind of you!  These names are a great help.  Within the last week, I have discovered that one of my maternal great, great grandmothers, was a Mary Hourihan, from Caheragh parish.  The O'Brien connection is on my late father's side of the family, however, I am sure that I have seen an O'Brien connection to Mary Hourihan.
Diolch yn fawr/ GRM / thanks again!

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.  My family tree is available on My Heritage and I did my DNA test with this company too.
My Gedmatch Number is UG6563257

Hope this helps.
Regards.  Keith

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

Thanks

Jack
