Anyone with Irish roots any time frame

[XPhile2868]

Rumour has it but have never found any Irish rellies yet.
My gran always said we were Irish. Does my red hair count ?
Any Gubbins' out there.

Most of my relatives have the "Black Irish" appearance of dark hair, fair skin adn blue eyes.

I used to work with an Irish lady who had flame red hair.
She always said that she wasn't true Irish as they had ''coal black hair''.
She sounded true Irish to me though.

Anyone who is not sure Aghadowey.

Anyone who has """born in Ireland""""  many of us do...that odd rellie in the corner

lots give up when they see that.....we all have missing rellies...I have a few born in "Wales"....I gave up with that one.

There must be some way for us to link these people....everyone looking...might be able to find a common link....someway....however small...we need to try.

Don't you think.

if they were all in one place..like here...we might be able to find their families.

Hello Steve,

This thread could get confusing with of loads of different surnames in addition to the usual collection of counties. There are already at least thirty eight boards for people with Irish families ... one for each county in Ireland plus Resources boards for Antrim,  Dublin and Ireland as well as Antrim Look Up Requests and Offers.

Agree with Christopher that this thread will probably cause confusion and would be better if people posted separate topics under appropriate board.

Better not add my rellies then.

No I think you should...this is the Lighter Side...not everyone looks at the Irish boards ...maybe someone will read this and twig on a name.....I totally agree with Steve's line of thought...think out of the box 

And, it's a chance to share our woes and successes and maybe some one will get an idea and progress in their research. Focusing on a particular "Irish" board is fine but generalizing is a good thing too ...and I think that's what Steve may have been trying to point out to us....sharing is good. Sorry Steve I may have got it wrong but that's how I interpreted your original post

I agree with Mab. What does it matter, I only have a slight interest  at present and only occassionally look at the Irish board. I do look at the lighter side, TOT  all  the time, and it is just as interesting as some of the "Rubbish" no offence meant, on these boards.

I was feeling a bit foolish for posting.... but then again I'm really intrigued to see who is stuck too, with whom and where from (oh yes I know... Ireland... ooops )

Its partial curiosity and hope that I'll get to the other side of my brick wall....

But then again if EVERYONE with Irish ancestors posted... well it would be a pretty big thread ;-)

I'm stuck on my Irish lot - Peter Leedom who was born somewhere in Ireland c. 1810, probably Dublin - he was a silk dyer and living in Macclesfield in 1841 with his family and an 80 year old called Mary Leedom, who may have been his grandmother - she seems a bit old to be his mother. As they seem to have come to England in the 1830s they miss the Griffiths Valuations. He could write so I know that Leedom is "correct" so to speak, but there are precious few of them in Ireland and I can't link them in, and its a name that can end up being spelt so many different ways 

Irish genealogy is very frustrating!
