County Mayo coat of arms

Often sidestepped by visitors who head, instead, to the lumbering mountains of Connemara in Galway, County Mayo is the picture-perfect version of the west of Ireland, with its delightful villages and sweeping bays. Even the people of Mayo have a soft, warm and quiet demeanour to match their landscape. But there’s more to this place than meets the eye. Mayo is also a place of miraculous events, where wild, windswept valleys are frozen in time, and the rugged coastline – at the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way – was once ruled by a pirate queen.

Mayo is a great place for superlatives. It’s where you’ll find the highest point in Connacht – Mweelrea at 814 metres – and Ireland's largest island, Achill Island, which boasts the country’s highest cliffs, Croaghaun, as well as numerous pristine beaches. Then there’s Ceide Fields, the most extensive Stone Age monument in Ireland.

The county is not short of spiritual wonders either. Mayo is home to Ireland's most spiritual mountain, Croagh Patrick, where St. Patrick is said to have fasted for forty days and nights, as well as the Knock Shrine, one of the most important Marian shrines in Catholicism, where Mary, St. John the Evangelist and St. Joseph are said to have appeared before a group of locals in 1879. St Mary’s Well in Ballina is another quirky religious sight; the ancient holy well is topped with a tiny stone chapel which dates back to 1798.

Visiting Mayo is mostly about its vast emptiness and beautiful landscapes, which were the inspirational setting for the John Wayne film, The Quiet Man (there is a visitor's centre in Cong, a prominent filming location), as well as many Irish plays and stories, including John Millington Synge's The Playboy of the Western World, and the Lady Gregory/WB Yeats collaboration Cathleen Ni Houlihan. It's possible that the county is so revered in literature because it was among the counties most badly affected by the Great Famine.

The Lost Valley farm tour offers a glimpse of what life was like for the rural people here before the Great Famine – ancient potato ridges are still visible on their land, and the Bourke family (who’ve farmed here for 300 years) have many tales to tell about their local history. Discover more at the National Museum of Country Life near Castlebar, or at the Granuaile Heritage Centre in Louisburgh, where you’ll also learn about Grace O’Malley, the Queen of Umaill and chieftain of the Ó Máille (O’Malley) clan otherwise known as the ‘Pirate Queen’. Remnants of her family legacy can be seen in and around Clew Bay, such as Rockfleet Castle. Many O’Malleys, supposedly including Grace herself, were buried at Clare Island Abbey – which can be reached via a 25-minute ferry from the mainland.

Today Clew Bay and its estimated 365 islands are a hotspot for surfers, sailors and watersports enthusiasts. Prefer your adventures on dry land? Travel by two wheels on the Great Western Greenway, a 41km scenic cycle path following the old Westport-to-Achill train line, or tackle one of the county’s countless mountain, coast or island loop walking trails.

Alongside its natural wonders, the county has a few lively towns that are well worth a visit, including its county seat, Castlebar, as well as Ballina and Westport, the latter of which is a popular birthday and stag party destination known for its fun nightlife and traditional pubs such as Matt Molloy’s, where live music draws a crowd every night of the week. 

Mayo has also produced some pretty important people, including former Irish Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, and Mary Robinson, the first female President of Ireland.

With a great name like Glyndwr, then your father must have Welsh roots! If he was born in Wales, then you should be able to trace his birth record and details relating to his parents, which in turn should help you to follow the Morris family trail back further in time.

Hi Tonianne. If you go to the death indexes (e.g. https://www.freebmd.org.uk/), and input John's name, narrowing the date down to 1925, then you will be able to establish his age at death. This will help you then to narrow down your search for him on the censuses (he should be on the 1921, 1911, 1901 and, probably, previous censuses). He should be listed on those censuses with his wife, and on earlier ones with his parents. Those censuses will also tell you where he was born. You could search for his marriage to Elizabeth (search via https://www.freebmd.org.uk) - that certificate which you can order from the General Register Office will establish who his father was.

Dennis Morris was born around 1710 in or about Galway. He departed Galway in 1732 (supposedly shortly after the English banned Catholic land ownership) and came to Baltimore, Maryland in North America, an open port for arriving Catholics. He proceeded north to New Jersey, married and started him family. He died in 1800 in New Jersey.

Hello out there! Trying to find info on John Morris who arrived in Australia in 1840 (from County Tyrone Ireland.. Donegal I think). He took up a large piece of land in the Junee NSW area and farmed sheep. His property was called Geralgambeth. As far as I'm aware, he was a free settler. I have a fair bit of info on his life after he arrived but none prior. Any snippets would be greatly appreciated. Regards

The Morris name has a long history in Wales, but now DNA and some recorded history says their origin is from the Emerald Island. The Morris story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup B2] 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 Morris 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 inscript

Hi Adekunle. Tracing details relating to Philip Hughes could be difficult without more specific clues relating to around when he was born, or travelled to Nigeria. If he and his wife came back to Wales or the UK, and married there, then you can search for a marriage, but you would need to know his wife's name. Some missionary archives exist (the largest held by SOAS, the University of London), and you will need to search their catalogues for any potential reference to Philip. Another source to search would be passenger lists for evidence of Philip returning to the UK (available from 1878 onwards), but you will need to have an idea of around when he was in Nigeria, and/or a rough idea of when he was born.

My GRANDFATHER Richard Sims was from Hughes he had an old bond book of family history. My uncle Timothy Sims had Notebooks made for everyone but the history is amazing but it only goes back as far as 50 BCE Donegal. but it does state we are from Whales. Aunt Tony, she did a DNA and there traces of Jews decent. So I could also see where the snake comes from in the bible when that saved the life of many Israelites.

Please note the Hughes family surname project at Family Tree Dna. It is the only compiled and in progress compilation of hughes dna in the public realm that I know of. We are such a great family we should know as much as possible about our family lines. Mine goes back to Jeremiah Hughes Sr. b.1785 of Upper Pig Pen area of Yancey County, North Carolina, United States.

(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Domnaill name is also found in Brittany, France. It is a very old name which appears in the 5th century Roman inscriptions as Dumnovellaunos in Brittany meaning “Deep Valour” equivalent to Irish Domhnaill. 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 Hughes story begins in pre-history Ireland but relatives will then move to Wales where the family can be traced back to their Welsh tribe Cydifor Fawr. A descendant and many of his kin will then move to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

This specific crest you have here is the variation from the MacSiurtain clan of Jordan DeExeter, the Sheriff of County Mayo, Ireland. He also earned the Percussus Resurgo" motto, due to his heroics in the Crusades -- it seems to have been adopted across all Jordan clans now. Some confuse this crest with other crests, but growing up, this was always the crest displayed in our home, with the the "Percussus Resurgo" motto emblazoned underneath.

John Walsh was my grandad, he came over from Ireland to London, where I was born. He grew up in a home and so his heritage is slightly shrouded in history, especially on his Dad's side - whoever he may have been. Some secret. He was born in Dublin, was sent to Cork, and then found himself in Galway. That's when he met my Nanny Norah and eventually came over here to London.

(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.

Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Higgins 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.

Assuming from Sligo. Another interesting fact on Ancestry I’m related to several African Americans from the Caribbean- so apparently some of my people got shipped by Cromwell after their defeat. My mother is 100% Norwegian and the Irish Moran’s never owned slaves. My Irish Brady and Moran family made it to Minnesota in the 1860’s. Th

Looking for clues on where my great grandfather, Patrick Joseph Lyons, was from in Ireland. Family stories suggest he could be from Cork, Galway, Longford, or Roscommon. Both of his wives were from Roscommon. He was a mason who immigrated to the USA around 1865-1870 and settled in Providence and Cranston, Rhode Island. From approx. 1885 to his death in 1930, he lived in New Haven, Connecticut.

Lyons

Trying to understand how the Lyons' clan moved to Galway, Ireland. Specifically Patrick Lyons. He immigrated to New York around 1850-1870, probably from the potato famine. He settled around the Adirondack mountains. He married Ellen O'Connor. He was Catholic and buried in St. Mary's cemetery in Oneida, NewYork.

Attn: Witros I recently posted an article on my great grandfather Patrick Gallagher who was born in Aghavanny Leitrim which has been absorbed by Kiltycloger. Most of his children were born in Manor Hamilton which is between Kiltycloger and Drumkeeren. I have been researching my family and I do not know, but we could be somehow related. However, of my ggfather's 10 children, 8 immigrated to the US about 1892, but they all went to Chicago, not NY. Will let you know if I find any family connection. Jack Fritz

On his New York City death certificate it lists his parents as James Gallagher and Bridget McPartland both of Ireland. He left Ireland around 1892 and settled in Brooklyn, New York. He married Anna Woods who was born in Drumkeeran, Co. Leitrim. I have been unable to find any information on my ggf James and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I had always heard, that some of the Duffys, who immigrated from Ireland, to America, (and who were Protestant) changed the name and added an "e" to indicate that they were Protestant instead of Catholic. My GGGG Grandad, Michael Duffey, immigrated from Londonderry in the later half of the 1700s, with his friend, Thomas Ramsey and actually fought in the American Revolution. After the war, he settled in Fayette county, PA and eventually migrated to Adams County, OH (via the Ohio River.) My father's name was Denver H. Duffey, born in Springfield, OH (10/01/1920).

Larry, 

I have attached the Deer Lodge County Montana marriage certificate signed by Pat Gibbons of Butte, Montana as a witness for my paternal great grandparents, Thomas Logan and Nora (Honora) Sullivan. The other witness signature is by Hannah Barry of Anaconda, Montana, so perhaps there was a relationship with Pat Gibbons. Anaconda is about thirty miles from Butte, the home of the ACM( Anaconda Copper Mining Company) also part of the Amalgamated Copper Company. There was a smelter operation in Anaconda, where my maternal great grandfather worked and thereby would have had a relationship with Pat Gibbons.  A document from my maternal grandmother shows Nora's surname McKiernan, so we are researching this discrepancy. She is supposed to be from Cahersiveen in County Kerry. My great grandfather was known as "Blackie Logan," which we believe was due to him being Black Irish. He was from Galway and arrived in Anaconda via Leadville, Colorado. Please feel free to reach out for further discussion ....   jr

I am a Gibbons from South Africa ,I am trying to trace my family back as far as possible. I have been researching none-stop for the past 8 months and have had some luck but would like more. My great-great-grandfather was Charles Sydney Gibbons, he was born in May 1871 and died in the year 1913 on the 25th of May. He lived most of his life in Salisbury, Rhodesia and later passed away in Salisbury, England. He had Stomach cancer and was forced to travel to England for surgery, leaving his wife, Mary Louise, nee Unknown, and my great-grandfather, Cyril Charles Gibbons behind. The surgery however was unfortunately not effective. His father I suspect was named William Alfred Gibbons, who was born and raised in Wiltshire, England. He married Eglantine Roberts and they had their first child when she was only 13. Can anybody help me to go further back along this line? Any help would be much appreciated and I can help others where I can aswell.

Martins father’s name was Edward (Ned) Gibbons I think his birth year is 1855, who was married to Bridget (Sheridan) Gibbons, her birth year is 1861. Martin had several siblings which are as follows: 1) Thomas who married Mary Katherine Guiles 2) Catherine married Thomas O’Donnell they had 7 kids 3)Mary (Molly) had one child named Veronica 4) Patrick and he married Agnus Gaynor, one child named Thomas. 5) Eddie 6) Michael (Mike) 7) some records call her Honor but her name was really Norah 8) Agnus who stayed in Ireland 9) Dan he had 13 children and stayed in Ireland 10) Joseph who went to New York 11) Tony/Anthony who moved to England and finally 12) Jim/James who moved to Ohio. Other than the people I had a destination for the rest who did not stay in Ireland went to the USA. I am so eager to learn more about my heritage.

Charles married Nora Theresa Breck (born in County Kerry, Ireland) on 20 April 1898 in Bridgeport, CT and they had 8 children together. Nora passed away 21 July 1952 in Stratford, CT and Charles passed away 9 November, 1962 in Bridgeport, CT. I have no information about my great grandfather's family other than what I have indicated above and would appreciate adding more information about him to my family tree. If you think this matches your family information, you may contact me.

I am working on my family history. My grandmother was Julia Gibbons from Cambourne Cornwall. She was the daughter of John and Ellen Gibbons, who were both from Cork Ireland. They were a tin mining family. Julia had two sisters Kathrine Gibbons Sullivan (who immigrated to Bridgeport Connecticut) and Louise Gibbons Cooney (who immigrated to Butte, Montana). Her brothers Con Gibbons, JohnGibbons and Pat Gibbons also came to Butte, Montana to mine copper. Her brother Charles Gibbons went with his sister Kate to Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was an engineer. My grandmother kept in close communication with her Bridgeport relatives, but after the death of this generation communication has stopped. Are there any Gibbons relatives who recognize any of this information?

Connor

This is my Father, William Connor Born 26/9/1897 Died 1/9/1960 In the first war many lived lost and men moved to different regiments where needed. He ended up at Ypres handling the horses,. the carts and the heavy guns, We have a phot of him as an invalid in a hospital with a nurse and a pal he may have suffered a gas attack. He is our Hero since he also was a Shop Steward at the "Rootes Car " Factory in Liverpool which also did war work building parts for the Lancaster Bombers. It was there that he met my mother and she converted to his Catholic Faith. he is the hero to my younger brother Paul.. Thank you.

(Part 1 of 3) The Connor name has a long history in the British Isles, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the south-west region of the Emerald Island. The Connor story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup O2] can trace their beginnings to what is now County Kerry from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Connor surname origin is possibly a branch of what will become the Dáirine [R1b-L513] who are found in south Ireland around 300 CE.

Anthony Barrett

(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Dáirine will join with the Dál Riata of north-east Ireland and invade Scotland 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 Connor story begins in pre-history Ireland but many of his descendants will then move to Kintyre, Scotland where they and other R1b-L513 members will form the Dalriada. This line and many of his kin will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

I am looking to continue my family line and cannot go back any further. My line of the Doherty starts with my great grandmother, Catherine Doherty who was born on 18 September 1887, in Belfast, Antrim, Ireland in 1887. Her father was William John D. Doherty, born Jan. 1863 and her mother Catherine K. Johnston, mostly known as Kate, born 23 August 1862. Williams father was also William John Doherty, born around 1829 and his wife was Ruth McClune born around 1828. I have not been able to trace my line back any further. I would love some help with finding the rest of my ancestors.

Hello,

My Mchugh Ancester was Sarah McHugh b. ?1848 in Beagh, Inishkeel, Glenties, Donegal, Ireland. I believe her Father was John McHugh and don't yet have her Mother's name. She married Daniel (Tolan) Toland b. 1844 also in Donegal on 02 Aug 1868. It seems a number of Sarah's children settled in the Eastern US around Philadelphia. My GGrandmother is one off her daughters Sarah T. Toland who married WIlliam John Balmer. Also in Philadelphia ?was her Sister Bridget, brothers James J., Hugh and Daniel and possibly more sisters and brothers.

My grandpa, Thomas Morton McHugh, was born c. 1883-1887 in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo. He emigrated to North America around 1911 and then married Alice Kate Maunder in Vancouver B.C. in 1913. My father, Thomas Roland McHugh was born in Vancouver B.C. and then they both moved to Seattle, Washington and became U.S. citizens. I'm trying to locate the exact date and parents names of Thomas Morton McHugh. I think he may have had a sister Bridget or maybe a mom named Bridget.

Michael Morrissey - born around 1812 or earlier and immigrated to Castle Garden, New York and arrived on May 30, 1836. He reported himself to be from the Parish of Muckalee, Kilkenny, Ireland. He left Dublin and went to Liverpool, England, then sailed to America. He reports that he was a farmer, but I'm leaning towards "laborer". He was illiterate and poor. I have no idea how he was able to come to America, being poor. He sailed on the ship "New Orleans" with no other family member I could see on the passenger list. He was reported to be 22 at the time he came in 1836, but on his naturalization intent in July of 1838, he reported himself to be 23. I'm almost certain he was Roman Catholic. He ended up coming to Indiana soon after arriving because that is where his naturalization intent was recorded, (Tippecanoe, Indiana). He was found in a census in Union, Fulton, Indiana in 1850 and was reported to be 38. He married Jane Mendenhall in Fulton, Indiana. I found a death record of a Michael Morrissey who died in 20 June1861, who was from Ireland and birthdate unknown. He is buried in St Mary's cemetary in Lafayette, Tippecanoe, Indiana.

My 3x great-grandparents were John and Mary Ann Clancy O'Malley (O'Maley). John was from the Amigan area in Co. Limerick and Mary Ann was reportedly from Ballingarry Co. Limerick. The family came to the USA by 1849 and are in New Jersey in 1850 census. By 1860 they were in Bureau County Illinois and in 1870 in Cherokee County Kansas. Can anyone connect with this family? Joh and Mary Ann's children--Patrick, Johanna Coman, Michael (my great-great-grandfather), Catherine Lawler, Mary Kennedy, Ellen Kennedy, John, James, Frances (Fannie) Fleming and David.

Brendan O'Malley

From Brendan O'Malley to JC Lalumière. There were a number of O'Malleys who went to France at different times in history, so their descendants could possibly have changed the name to a more French spelling. One was Colonel Austin O'Malley, who left Ireland after the rebellion in 1798. He had served under the French General Humbert at the battles of Killala and Ballinamuck in Ireland and he went on to fight in Napoleon's Irish brigade. He married a French woman and had two sons, one of whom, Augustin-Andre O'Malley, became a General in the French army and ended his career as commander of the military garrison in Marseille. I have not been able to discover if he had any children. There was also Charles O'Malley who served under Charles ii of england and died in exile at St-Germain-en-Laye and his 5 brothers who entered foreign service in Europe. One fought the Turks in the forces of the Emperor and became a general. I'm sure here were others. I have heard that the Maille family (who make mustard, among other things) have refuted any connection with Ireland, but I know nothing of the Aumailleys. If you have any information on them, please contact me at brendan.omalley@markree.ie

My grand aunt, Mary O Malley, emigrated to the USA in the late 1880s. She was born in Ballyconneely,Clifden,Co Galway She eventually settled in Minneapolis, Minnesota and married a man of Polish heritage. I understand that she had children. She was in contact with my mother until the late 1050s. I've tried to trace her/her descendants but without success. Can anyone supply any information?

Mary Kay O'Malley

In the 1800's 7 brothers emigrated to the USA and homesteaded the area around Perry, Iowa. Our family is descended from the brother named Martin. My great grandfather, James F. O'Malley died after his car was struck by a train around 1919 and my grandfather, also James F., farmed until the depression when he moved his family including my father, you guessed it James F., to Kansas City, Missouri. My father was a doctor in Kansas City and passed away in 2012. Ii am one of 7 kids and my parents already have 31 great grandchildren with more likely to follow. God bless all the O'Malleys, a proud and prosperous clan! BTW my mother's clan of mccormicks, Fitzgibbons and Quinlans came from Mayo and Donegal.

Leslie O’Malley

Leslie O’Malley My O’Malleys came from Steelaun/Rathfran in County Mayo. The earliest ancestor I can find was Patrick O’Malley. He was married several times but I am descended from Maria McHale. Their son Martin married Maria Weir and was also a carpenter in Steelaun. Their son “Big Mick” (5’10”) came to NYC, married Annie Kearney and they had a son Michael born Christmas Day, 1910. Shortly after the Titanic went down, the family return to Steelaun and then settled in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. I am the daughter of Michael Stephan Christopher O’Malley and Florence Scanlon, born in Carrownagh, County Sligo.

O’Malley

I am having tremendous problems finding where my father came from. I do know he ( John James O’Malley) was born in Donegal in 1915 but all my research has failed to show anybody of that name born in 1915 in Donegal. There is someone born in 1913 of a similar name but the date of birth on my father’s death certificate and marriage certificate have to align with a birth certificate date of birth so I can get an Irish Passport. Even my DNA says Donegal!

My grandmother was Delia O'Malley from Peter Street, Westport (Mayo). She married Jim Lyons from High Street, Westport and they had five children. My mother is the third eldest. Is there anyone on here who might be related? I'm having trouble finding Delia's birth or baptismal records, though I have found details of her marriage and also some old censuses. She and I were said to share the same birthday (10th June), but the year of her birth has been given as 1892, 3 and 4. I can't find anything under any of those years.

To Jezreel Lopez, It would be great if you joined the O'Malley project on FTDNA (www.ftdna.com). You can upload your family tree and look for DNA matches to all the O'Malleys who are part of the project. We are trying to identify a DNA signature for descendants of Grace O'Malley, so your family tree and DNA analysis would be a great help. Regards Brendan O'Malley (Co-Administrator)

I just discovered my connection to my long lost Irish roots! Grace O’Malley, the infamous pirate queen, was my 15th great grandmother through her second husband Bourke. I’ve been to Ireland and have always loved it, and the golden age of piracy was always a fascination for me! I hope one day I can return to see all of the O’Malley sites now that I know my heritage ??

To: irishomalleygirl. Who was your great grandfather and where did he come from? If you know the dates and places of his birth, marriage and/or death, then you should be able to find some traces of him and some leads further back.

My maternal grandfather Patrick Joseph Fitzgibbon was born 1870 in Derry City and raised in Derry City until age 13. His father William Fitzgibbon was born 1841 (birthplace not verified) but raised in Derry. William's parents were John Fitzgibbon and Margaret McGuire. John was in the military and was likely from the south of Ireland.

O'Dowd

John O'Dowd Search Good morning, I am looking for information on my great, great, grand, parents who hailed from County Clare in Ireland. I only have scant information from their ‘immigration’ papers when landing in Sydney, Australia on the 24 June 1841 having left from Plymouth on the 9th March 1841 aboard the Earl Grey. John O’Dowd is described as being 30 years old at the date of departure, a “R C”, a labourer, cannot read nor write,and “cannot speak English”. It is interesting to note that the O in O’Dowd had been crossed through apparently by the immigration official. Family folk-law suggests that the O was lost in the Bush during the Tenterfield ‘gold rush’in 1876. The truth seems to lie with the stroke of the Immigration Offici

Hello! I would love to have access to the missing ancestors database as well! My grandfather was born in Ballyhaunis c. 1883-1887 (he has listed all dates in between that on his various paperwork since coming to North America). I know that he left Ireland and came to Canada where my dad was born and then both came to the U.S. where I was born. I am pursuing registration on the Foreign Births Register but I can't find documentation of his birth. I've been on irishgeneaology and irish roots but I have missing information. My grandpa's name was Thomas Morton McHugh and we are pretty sure his father's name was also Thomas McHugh but he has listed his mom's name differently on several different "legal documents". Any help you can give would be SOOO appreciated!

County Mayo is one of Ireland's most visited counties given its incredible scenery. They also have two of our top '101-Must-Visit' locations; Achill island and Croagh Patrick. Achill is a super spot for a family or surfer holiday, and you could spend a month there. If you climb Croagh Patrick, you will be literally retracing St. Patrick's footsteps from hundreds of years ago and looking down on breathtaking views of Clew Bay, the bay with over 365 islands...one for each day of the year!
