Just to add, I khave left researching irish ancestors until I can get a list together and go over to try and find their roots.  Or better still until ireland decides to open their books to allow irish descendants access.

The 1911 census for Ireland is online (free) and 1901 will soon be added to National Archives website. Index to civil registration is online (also free) and many other sources such as Griffith's Valuation so not sure what that last sentance is supposed to mean.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Wow thanks for telling us!  I appreciate that.  Is it on the Nat. Archives website?  The Irish one I mean?

Still none the wiser as to what Marcie meant about Irish records in her earlier post but here's the link to 1911 census on National Archives website (1901 will be on the site site when added)-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search

There are also hundreds of Irish links under IRELAND RESOURCES and each of the Irish county boards.

This is the problem I have, as I have no idea which county my family origins are.
Recently found a connection with a relative, but even their information they have on their Gedcom does not mention any areas in Ireland.

Members of my family went over to America and ended up in Florida.  Members of my oh family went to kAustralia and then moved to New Zealand where apparently there are still some remnants in existence.
