Hello Max

re James Devine bc1840 Cavan m Moore

I am very interested in your Devine family.
There are a few DNA matches to James Devine descendants on Ancestry.
I am a Devine descendant of Bawnboy district Cavan and have Patrick Devine and Mary Prior in my tree.   Patrick Devine is the assumed brother of my Peter Devine and another DNA sibling James Devine.  All of Arderry. 
Would love to follow up on this branch.

Look forward to hearing from you

Hi everyone

I have recently found through DNA "by accident" many matches pertaining to a...

Lillian McILHANEY b1709 Donegal d 1780 August, Virginia USA
m John Washington Reese BOWEN

Lillian's lineage leads back to
John McIlhaney b1600 Scotland d1660 Ireland and Margaret Mary McGeery bc 1610 Donegal died 1650 Ireland.
I have read that Lillian and her brother, John Henry and mother Jane (nee McGheehan)(as Mrs Hunter 2nd marriage) arrived in the USA c1698, so the connection maybe with family left behind in Ireland.
Information has been gathered by numerous Family Trees, however, no documentation.

Descendants of the above family have many DNA matches but it may be that a lot of people have been DNA tested.

I also find matches outside the above family lines to Reverend James McIlhenny bc1690 in Scotland, later resided in Donegal then to US.  Also, matches to other lines from Scotland, Donegal and Londonderry. 
It is overwhelming but sifting through and building out the trees, I have a clearer idea that my McIhenny/Mcelhaney may lie with a family member that remained in Ireland/Military.

Tracing back through my own family lines and those who lived in Northern Island leads me to a Matthew Murphy bc1793 from Saul, Downpatrick who was in Gibraltar c1829. Matthew's connection came about as a witness to military marriage of my Frances Murphy to Thomas Wroe in 1829 in Gibraltar.   I am unable at the moment to find any connection of Murphy to McIlhenny/McElhaney (and the many spellings).   It is a needle in the haystack research.

I notice that so many McIlhaneys were Military.

Anyway, just thought I would post here in the event that someone may read this later on and for me to be in the loop with everyone's posts. 

Regards
Rosalie

Hello Skitty
Are you still researching Patrick Devine and Rose McKiernan. c1850s?
I am trying to link this couple to unlinked trees using DNA matches. My Devine families lived in Arderry, Muineal and Derrymony (registration district Bawnboy)....  some of the family spread out venturing north and south of Cavan... Many immigrated (1840s-1900s) to Chicago, Illinois and some to Australia.  (my Thomas Devine ended up in Tasmania).

I have Patrick and Rose living in Killashandra.

A great site is www.bawnboy.com
Genealogical and church records link is

Love to hear from you.

Thank you for your reply Gazania.
I started off with paper and pen research and am grateful now for online records.
Your late husband's family of Gotobed was/is huge and keeps me on my toes.

I notice in the Colbert/Gotobed that TWO family members came to Australia.  Queensland and South Australia.   

More research to be done.

Hello Gazania
I am very interested in Colbert/Gotobed as I have recently discovered my Elizabeth Gotobed is sister to your Ann Gotobed.
I did find a baptism for John Colbert (transcribed as Colberd) on 25 Dec 1799 at St Andrew, Abbots Ripton, Huntingdonshire.  Abbots Ripton is where Ann Gotobed lived too.

Would love to explore more esp with Gotobed.

regards
Rosalie

Guess what!
I have a DNA match to Farrow from the same area and same parents.
Thanks for being part of the journey.
Now to work on the branches for more DNA matches.
WOW  :D

Hopefully DNA will match me and my cousins to Farrow or Wyman families.
Off to a good start so far.

In Jo Stacey marriage (grandson to Lizzie Gotobed) they named 3 children William.  All the Williams died in infancy.  So William must have been a link to the grandparents.
