County Antrim coat of arms
This, the most populous county in Northern Ireland is also home to its capital city, Belfast, the second-largest city on the island. Most people know Belfast thanks to The Troubles, especially the Falls and Shankhill Roads, which have always been parallel bastions of the two opposing sides. Even more than a decade after the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, which brought peace to Northern Ireland, the two roads remain adorned with fascinating murals that depict the colourful, graphic and sometimes-violent images painted by Republicans and Loyalists.

Despite all that, Belfast is really just a bustling U.K. city, with high street shops, modern restaurants and a fair smattering of historical sites. Among them, the grand Baroque Revival City Hall building marks the centre of the city in Donegall Square, while spreading to the north is the Cathedral Quarter, a booming cultural district centred on St. Anne's Cathedral. The massive, Greek-inspired white Stormont Parliament Buildings in the far north part of the city are also well worth a look.

Writer C.S. Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia) was from Belfast, and his childhood home, known as "Little Lea" is located in the Strandtown area in the east part of the city. Likewise, few people realise that the doomed ship, Titanic, was actually crafted in Belfast, and today there is a wonderful exhibit on the city's shipbuilding trade at Titanic's Dock and Pump House. This portion of Belfast, known as the "Titanic Quarter", is also one of the most rapidly developing areas of the city, with new offices and condos going up regularly.

Though the weight of Belfast's immense history could easily keep you occupied for days, getting out of the city is a must in Antrim. For starters, Giant's Causeway, a 15,000-year-old stone pillar formation along the north coast, is one of Ireland's top tourist attractions. Not far from here, the Dunluce Castle are medieval ruins perched atop a rocky coastal outcropping, creating one of the most scenic castle sites you're likely to run into in this lifetime. Castle hunters will also want to make a stop at Carrickfergus Castle on the north shore of Belfast Lough, which includes a very well-preserved outer stone wall and tower keep.

The outstandingly beautiful Glens of Antrim are a series of nine valleys that delve into the heart of Co. Antrim, offering a place to go hiking, view waterfalls and take in some of Northern Ireland's true natural splendour.

According to the Book "History of Alabama and Her People" by Albert Burton Moore, my 4th Great Grandfather, James M. Smith had origins in Ireland. Unfortunately, the book never clearly states where from. He was born c. 1778, but isn't clear on the place. His first born, Daniel Ulysses Smith was born in Georgia,USA while all other children were born in Alabama, USA. Is anyone familiar with this family?
Anthony Barrett
(Part 1 of 3) The Smith name has a long history in the British Isles, but now DNA and some recorded history says one of its origins is from the north-west region of the Emerald Island. The Smith’s of Cavan story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup D2] can trace their beginnings to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. This Smith surname origin is from the Cenél Conaill [R1b-L513, Subgroup D] who found the Dál Fiatach.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) A group will also found the Kingdom of Ercing in Wales as trade with Romans will become essential around 300 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Smith story begins in pre-history Ireland but this line and many of his kin will move to Wales, then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

My 2nd great grandparents came from Ireland to the USA.
do not know when/what port they immigrated to or when/where they were married, but the first census I find them in is as Thomas Williams and Mrs. 1860 Leavenworth Kansas. The Mrs. is Mary Fling b. 1825, 1830 or 1835 varies on census' and Thomas Williams either 1830 or 1834. First son was James born in 1855 Bloomington, Ill, Daughter Winifred b. 1857 and Charles Arthur my great grandfather 1858. The census' list them both as from Ireland, until 1930 my great grandfather lists his parents as from Northern Ireland. The only thing I know about Thomas Williams comes from the 1860 Federal Census taken in Leavenworth Kansas and the 1865 State Census taken in Leavenworth Kansas, I never find him again after that date. I have not located his immigration information or marrige information. Coincidentally there is a Thomas Williams and Anne Eliza Fling Williams in 1860 Bloomington, Illnois Census, they have a son Charles Edward, but dates and ages Do Not match and can't be in two places at one time. would love to learn where they were both from in Ireland.

The Williams surname origin is from Clan Domnaill [DNA Tribe R1b-L513, Subgroup B1] and relations who remain in Ireland take the modern surname (O’)Donnelly, McDonald and Donohue in Ireland. The Domnaill name is also found in Brittany, France according to research from the Centre de Recherche Bretonne et Celtique. It is a very old name which appears in the 5th century Roman in

Sally Tarasoff
My name is Sally and I am looking for James Wilson. Actually the first Wilson in Ireland of our family came from Scotland about 1590 or so. I have a letter from a relative who says that in 1600 the Wilson in Ireland lost all three sons to drowning in the well on the farm in County Longford – just south of County Cavan. His first name is not known but the letter said that after those deaths, he moved north to County Cavan. Clearly the family remained in County Cavan for over 200 years.
The earliest documented Wilson was John Wilson who was born about 1760 in County Cavan, Ireland. He had two sons - including William Wilson who was born in County Cavan, Ireland in 1790. He married Esther Coote (also from County Cavan) and they had 7 of their children born in Ireland. The nine of them then they made their way to Canada from Ireland – quite a trip. That was about 1840. (Their last child born in Ireland was born in October of 1839 and their next child was born in Ontario in 1843.)
William and Esther settled in Cobourg, Ontario and then commenced to have 5 more kids – for a total of 12

My mother’s maiden name was Mary Elizabeth Wilson, from Cokeburg, Pa. She married my father, Frank Leslie Grimes Sr on October 25th 1958, in Washington County Pa. They had 5 children and resided in Pittsburgh Pa. Her father’s name was Howard Wilson and her her mother’s name was Ollie Amanda Rose. They lived in Washington Pa and had 6 children, I believe. However 3 of them passed away very young. Austin Wilson, 12 and Frances Wilson, 10. There was also an infant who passed but I’m not sure of the sex, name or age. They are all buried at Mt. Calvert cemetery in Scenery Hill Pa. Howard left my grandmother shortly after the last one passed. So I’ve been told and possibly started working on the railroads.

This was written by my father beginning with his Grandfather Alexander:
Alexander Wilson was brought up somewhere in the parish of Redrock,
Market Hill, Armagh and it would seem that he married sometime between
1840-50. He and his wife set up home in a small farm in the town land of Lisbane, Armagh (this farm is now owned by the Carmichael family). He also had a leather business and manufactured boots at the lower end of Thomas Street, Armagh. Alexander Wilson and his wife, Margaret, had six of a family, William, James, Alexander, Margaret, Eliza and Joseph.
William emigrated to the Americas in his youth and was very little heard off.
James carried on his fathers business and it would appear, was very
successful He later owned the Mancheste

(Part 1 of 3) The Wilson name has a long history in the British Isles and belongs to several tribal backgrouds, but now DNA and some recorded history says one origin is from the north-west region of the Emerald Island. This Wilson story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup FA] can trace their beginnings to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Wilson surname origin is possibly from the Dáirine [R1b-L513] who found the Kingdom of Brycheiniog, Wales around 300 CE.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Kingdom of Brycheiniog will take part in an invasion of Brittany, France around 500 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Wilson story begins in pre-history Ireland but this descendant will then move to Wales where the family can be traced back to their Welsh tribe Cydifor Fawr. A relative and many of his kin will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

Martin
My 5th great grandfather George Martin reportedly sailed to Chester, PA in America from Ireland some time in the mid-1700s, before marrying Annah Cloud in Wilmington, DE in 1761 and settling on a farm in Hampshire County, WVA where he lived and raised a family until his death in 1806. I have not been able to trace his country of origin or parents across the pond and was hoping somebody on this site may have information on George Martin to share. My family lore says our Martin line were Scotch-Irish, which I take to mean a family from Northern Ireland that originally came from England or Scotland. My ancestry goal has been to trace each branch of my tree back to their country of origin. I have done that for all the women who married into my Martin line, but not yet for my Martins. Hoping somebody here can help!

Hello members. I am trying to locate family members in Ireland, or at least figure out who they are. My paternal grandfather, William John Robinson, emigrated to Canada from Ireland in 1928. He was born to Irish parents in 1897 while they were visiting (?) in Scotland. He was raised in Ireland. As an adult he was apprenticing as a tailor and worked at his uncle's store in Fivemiletown. He worked as a tailor in Regina, SK, Cda until his retirement. He died in Regina in 1967. He came to Canada with 2 siblings (that I know of) Betty and Joe. I know he had other siblings in Ireland but I do not know their names or his parents names so it is proving very challenging to do any research into his family. If anyone has any leads I would be th

Hi Anthony,
Would it be possible to trace the gaelic name or clan name associated with the surname Scott? I took the DNA test and found that it was entirely traced to ireland, specifically northern Ireland. We know that Scott was a latin name given by the Romans to define an Irishman or gael, however, the scottish border clan Scott also adopted the name which raises the question to those that have the name - are we irish or scottish? The DNA test in my case, revealed the former only, so again, how exactly did northen irish clans take on this non-gaelic name, what was their original clan name?

There are many Bell families who came to Canada and the United States about 190 years ago. They came from northern Ireland to escape from the potato famine and the plague that were killing off many people. Some died along the way and were buried at sea.

My ancestors came from Scotland around 1650 when they refuse to give allegience to the stuart they where
forced to cross the st gorges channel to arrive in Ireland where they have been called the warrior
around 1822 most of them move to the states some of them stayed in new york where my father born
and some others move to colorado and california this is what i know to day
and i born myself in Paris france hi hi such is life !
Hamilton
The name makes no sense if it comes from villages in England called Hamildon etc why is there no one or little to no one with the correct spellings for there surnames. There are people however with the surname Hambleton and there are places in Yorkshire possibly more called this. I can believe some Hamilton’s came from Hambleton but not Hambledon because of this. There are other things about the name like it originating in Leicester which I will leave for another day.

(Part 1 of 3) The Hamilton name has a long history in Scotland, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the north-west region of the Emerald Island. The Hamilton story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup FB] can trace their beginnings to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Hamilton surname origin is possibly from the Dáirine [R1b-L513] who found the Kingdom of Brycheiniog, Wales around 300 CE.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Kingdom of Brycheiniog will take part in an invasion of Brittany, France around 500 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Hamilton story begins in pre-history Ireland but this descendant will then move to Wales where the family can be traced back to their Welsh tribe Cydifor Fawr. This line and many of his kin will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

I am looking for the parents of Andrew Boyd b. 1791. He was a Land Steward, apearantly working for Hugh McCalmont Sr., who built the abbeylands in the 1700s. Andrew married Mary Hunter in Carnmoney parish on December 6, 1818. Andrew and Mary had 5 children (John b. 1823, prominent Belfast architect in the 1850s and 1860s, Margaret Boyd Crawford b. 1825, Mary Jane Boyd, Elizabeth Boyd and William Boyd. The family was raised in Whiteabbey outside Belfast. The only Andrew Boyd that seems to fit was born in Perthshire Scotland but I suspect the Andrew Boyd I am talking about was born in Ireleand. Any help in my search would be appreciated.

I match the nephew of the last Clan Boyd Chief. Haplo R-R-R1B- R-U106 - R-U198 - R-BY132251. R-U198 is the Noble line. As far as the where the name originated nothing proves it came from anywhere as of now. University of Strathclyde tested the Decleration of Arbroath for Boyd dna . None was found. It was interesting though. Be nice if the could do that with the 1718 Ulster Scot petition to Gov. Shute lol I been wondering if there is a connection with my line but have no clue how my Boyd ancestors came to The US. I also y match the decendants of John Buckles Boyd of Ballymena closely and been seeing a connection to a lot of Boyd’s who trace there line to England.
Robert Matewsky
My Biological Sure-name is Boyd. I am a. R-U198 Haplo said to be the Noble Boyd line . My Brickwall is John Boyd Born abt 1795 Married to Elizabeth Dungan Born Marion Co Virginia. I suspect a potential connection to the Orr family of Aghadowey, Coleraine .Paul Orr Born 1764 and Married Isabelle Boyd of Townland Rhee. Also seen a dna connection with the Blair family and was thinking there could be a connection to Rev Thomas of siege of Londonderry and Rev William Boyd of the 1718 Ulster Scot Petition to Gov Schute. I have close Y match with someone who has a paper trail to John “Ballymena”Boyd or aka John Buckles Boyd . We share a common ancestor some generations after him. I am honestly not certain where my Boyd ancestors migrated from and always curious to find out how they made there way to the US.

(Part 1 of 3) The Boyd name can be found in Scotland, but its origin according to DNA is from the north-west coast of the Emerald Island. The Boyd story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup A1] can trace their origins to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Boyd surname origin is from a Northern Ui Neill [R1b-L513] tribe. The Cenél Eoghan and the tribes of Donegal conquered much of Ulster (Derry and Tyrone).
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) Cenél Eoghan will expand across northern Ireland with their cousins Cenél Conaill and the Northern Ui Neill between 500-800 BCE. The clans of Finn Valley have the same DNA as people from Gwened in Brittany. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Boyd story begins in pre-history Ireland then moves to Scotland as they form part of the Dalriada. Descendants of their tribe will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

I am looking for more of my ancestors. My Johnston family member is my great great grandmother, Catherine K. Johnston (known as Kate), was born 23 August 1862, but we don’t know where. But her first married home was 16 Lake Street, Belfast, Ireland. Kate’s religious affiliations was with St. Jude’s parish 1885-1889. She immigranted to Canada on the 24 April 1891. Kate’s parents were William G. Johnston born around 1832. His occupation was a Joiner in 1884 in Belfast. He was married on the 26 May 1857 at St. Anne’s in Belfast. His wife was Catherine Wilson born around 1832, also known as Eliza Wilson. This is as far as I have been able to go back. Would love help finding the rest of my ancestors.

My husband's family - Spawton have connections to Carey.
His great grandfather Reuben Terrawest Spawton (1829-1902) married Maria Carey(1835-1887). Her father was Robert Carey married to Maria McLaine and Robert's father was John Carey (1754-1826). He was married to Elizabeth Smyth. I'd love to know more about their connections in Dublin. It is difficult as there are few relevant Irish Census documents available.

My husband's great-grandfather, Nicholas Carey, was born in Greece but emigrated to New Zealand as an adult. He was a master mariner and sadly drowned in 1859 when his own boat, The Young Greek, went down off the coast of NZ killing all onboard
We have no idea if he anglicized his Greek name to Carey or if his father was part of the British contingent stationed in Greece.
I'm stumped at where to look for any information on his birthplace. No hints on ancestry. Just nothing.
One day we'll find him. He can run but he can't hide lol
Malcolm Harris
My grandmother was Charlotte Carey (1881 - 1947) the daughter of Edward Carey ( 1821 - 1893), son of Langer Carey Rev. (1788-1830) who emigrated from Ireland to Australia. I am trying to establish the parentage of Peter Carey (1625– 1670 ?)who is said to be from Devon and crossed to Ireland in 1666 and married Sarah Graham, bearing a son Peter (1638-1714 ?). Can you help?
Carey
Trying to find CAREY family relatives, supposedly located in County Meath, ancestral home in Upper Navan (Ireland). Great Grandfather's name was Christopher Carey; he emigrated to the USA in 1840s/50s and settled in Trenton, New Jersey. A good Roman Catholic, to be sure. Married Annie (or Anna) Flannagan and they had 9 children (8 brothers & a sister, Agnes). My father, Peter Thaddeus Carey, was the youngest. Go raibh maith agat agus beannachtaí a bheith ar do shon!

There are 48 Carey households recorded in Griffith, Primary Valuation, 1850s, in West Clare, mostly in the south-west in the Kilrush area, with a few in Ennistimon, There are also around 70 Kerin households , mostly in Ballyvaghan in North Clare, but a few in Ennistimon. Is there a connection? Kerin is O Ceirin. There are also 6 Keary, mostly Kilrush area.

Dear Joel,
I have a little bit on a Lynn family of Waterford. I go back to an Andrew Lynn (d.1684) of Ballinamona, Co. Tipperary which is just a few miles south of Waterford City. He had a brother named Richard who had a son and grandson named Andrew. No idea what became of them. Could be your family. Not sure how to demonstrate it though.
God bless

My KERR family is from N. Ireland. My grandfather was Frederick Arthur KERR, born 1905, Portadown, N. Ireland. He was the youngest of 10 siblings all born in Portadown to William Henry Kerr and Sarah Jane Kerr (nee Davidson). 1901 and 1911 Census indicates William Henry Kerr was born in Co. Down but must have been 1863 (no record) so I am not able to find any of his siblings other than his father was named William and he was a 'Shoemaker'. Trying to find more info on my heritage......

I am looking for my great-great grandfather John Quinn who was perhaps born in Galway in either late 1700's or early 1800's . May have relatives in Tyrone or Cavan Ireland also. He went to Liverpool, Lacashire, England and had a daughter by the name of Mary Ann Quinn who is my great-grandmother,

Quinn
Quinn - why only the famous? Mine certainly were not! I would love to know where the Enniscorthy Quinns lived prior to Enniscorthy and 1800’s but have already been told it is impossible to trace my Quinn family - yet Ive been able to get back further than a lot of people researching Irish ancestry. .
My Quinns are from Enniscorthy, County Wexford, today and back to early 1800 John Quinn.
Johns son James Q married Bridget Redmond (1825bn) c1844 NLI - daughter of James Redmond and Kitty Kavanagh married Enniscorthy 1811 (NLI)
Their son Thomas Quinn c1850-1939 married Elizabeth Brien
Thomas daughter Mary Eliza Quinn, my Grandmother 15/1/1897 Enniscorthy, (family in 1901/1911 Census Shannon Hill Urban) married England 20/12/1923, died Slough England 1988 .
Thomas son Francis known as Frank married Annie Dixon - fought wars in many places overseas and their descendants still live Enniscorthy today
Thomas son James bn 1886, started as a cleaner and was in the Irish Guards went to war - was wounded (shell shot) in France and returned to either England or Enniscorthy. He did definitely return to Enniscorthy soon after and then left again (family said to America? Never to be heard from again - his Uncle Patrick Ann Quinn is still alive but a very sick man who would love to know what really happened to James. Patrick has just done DNA testing in an effort to try to find descendants of James. My Mother only knew her Mother and Frank but had no other information on the Irish family at all. Unfortunately mum passed away 4 years ago age 91 and I only found my Enniscorthy family in June this year.
My brother and I have also done DNA testing so I know where we connect up with the other Quinn strands in Enniscorthy and have shared this information with my family connection. 23andme say my famous ancestor is Benjamin Franklin and Bono lol. FTDNA dont offer this. I tested at both sites.
Kind regards Carol

Dear "Lucisfillii,"
I am working on my father in law's ancestry. His name is Ralph Senior Lyng (1927-), and he was the son of Ralph Valentine Lyng (1902-1981), and grandson of William Senior Lyng (1873-?). His mother was Sarah Ann "Daisy" Bean (1905-1993, and I have been able to trace her family back to England. His grandparents on his mother's side were Thomas Bean (1873-) and Florence Ellis Hunter (1875-1930). On his father's side his grandfather William Senior Lyng was first married to Nettie Valentine (1881-1915) who died in childbirth with their fourth child. He later remarried, and his wife was Lena L. Dotterweich (1870-1935). Once I attempt to go further I reach a deadend at William Senior Lyng's parents, Wm Lyng and A
