About me…

I am a “sometime” family historian with roots back to Ireland. This is a place to share my stories and invite you to share yours.

My maternal roots all lead back to the vicinity around Tubbercurry and Charlestown in south Sligo and north Mayo counties.

Based on DNA, my paternal roots all lead back to Ireland but I am not sure where.

This is my personal family history site. I am not a professional genealogist. Although I try to be accurate and to document my findings, I find it it more compelling to tell a story and fill in the edges of the picture. I attempt to point out where I am guessing or where a particular piece of my puzzle is really a wing and a prayer, but no guarantees are offered. If you find something of interest, follow my sources. If I haven’t given them, it is likely I don’t have them.
