Welcome Spooner J

There is an Other Countries Board and I believe there is a big focus on Sweden

Plenty of help for the Irish connection too

Good luck in your journey and don't be afraid to ask for help and advice on the appropriate boards  :)

Welcome Spooner J.
There is an excellent website (subscription) for Swedish research, Arkivdigital. Easy to follow instructions in English.
Alternatively, post all of the information you have on the Europe board on here.  :)

Love the choice of poll options but SCOLTLAND!  :)

Hi Bee,

Can you please tell us "Scots" what you mean as I'm at a loss  :-\

Thanks Stevie & Nettie,

Obviously that has been changed since & I only came across it today  ;)

Apologies Bee as I couldn't fathom what you meant  ???

Researching the Comiskey family in Ireland. Not a typical Irish name, sounds maybe Polish.
When did they arrive in Ireland? Where from? It's all a mystery I'm looking forward to solving.

Nothing to do with Polish, Comiskey is from the Gaelic, and not an unusual Irish surname-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
