Dunne Moyne in Thurles

[Choccie]

Hi everyone.... this is all baffling .... I was told that Michael Junior had a sister Bridget but did not expect the poor baby to pass away .... all very sad .... through DNA ....I've a connection to this family , small but definite .... I'm trying to find the history of the mother of brigid dunne born 1923....given for adoption ...I was on other threads as nuns gave information saying child from rathbride kildare but at the same time from kilbride, meath.

Yet my dna comes back linking me to this exact family .... cannot figure it out at all
......that's kildare and meath from the nuns and tipperary from dna ...

Just to add ....nuns said that the babys mother in 1923 was brigid dunne also .....though could be untrue as

I thought your name familiar but the Roscommon connection didn’t connect 

There were two babies called Bridget who died so perhaps you will have to follow up the surviving children to see where that leads you.

Do you have trees for the ‘small but definite’ DNA connections?

To be honest with you I haven't a clue what I'm doing..... because I'm the granddaughter I think I'm too diluted to try chase my great grandmother....
I think there's a glitch on my heritage because it actually gave me a notification saying that my grandmothers dna is a match of a young person on this specific family.... like how? And why didn't it match with the father before the child ?

Sorry meant on the myheritage website ..... then it gave me the exact same notification for another dunne in a different family .....I think at this stage I need to hire a professional 🤔

[Choccie]

Mmmmmm I wonder if the other sisters had the middle name Bridget and that was used ?? .... just a theory

I have my DNA on Ancestry. I have noticed that I have matches with some people in a family and not others.
If MyHeritage is the same as Ancestry I get notifications which have no connection but just have the same name. For example, I have a Thomas Alexander, ancestor, and Ancestry send me regular notifications of other Thomas Alexanders which I ‘may’ connect to.
Perhaps that is what is happening with you. Are they matches or just similar names?
If you have a shared match with someone with Dunne ancestry, then it would be best to look at the other person’s tree, names and places and begin there. If you are sent Dunnes but there is no shared match then I wouldn’t follow them just yet.

Thats the thing ....the message reads

Your paternal grandmother matches with DNA of Joe bloggs in this family .. 

How weird is that

[heywood]

I don’t how that site works.
Have you had your DNA tested?
