I previously left a similar comment, I think you need to consider this as you won’t get the full picture unless you take these facts into consideration. That being we all generally have 2 converging histories that instead of being separate are manipulated into modern history. We have pre flood this is found on the Hereford map, there all countries are in the original locations so the place where Irish history starts. The period about 600 years ago is where they converge onto new Ireland which with most of Europe and Asia is found on the Scythian lands, when the flood relented we were left with our present land surrounded by water and ice. The majority of the right side of this map is now Antarctica but there were surviving people landing on new lands this point is obvious in the history you tell. After the landings and battles stop this is the point you could say modern Irish history starts. If you’re sceptical there isn’t much you can do apart from track the routes the Roman army took or Alexander took on his conquests. It does open a can of worms but someone as learned on Irish history should make more sense of events.

Get yourselves and family members (children, parents, grandparents) gene tested. The more who are tested, the more matches and research can be. This has certainly helped WRT my own family tree inquiry.

@dannunakifuque7795 8 ай бұрын

Make sure it's an Irish company, because some of these global companies sell your DNA to foreign countries to develope gene specific bioweapons. Don't be naive.

I have found doing DNA very helpful for my Irish roots as it makes it possible to see which surnames keep cropping up. Mine is a difficult question because both my parents have Irish ancestry from the same part of Ireland (Munster).

Some of my Irish ancestors surname are: Collins, Millsap, Gwaltney, Poplin, Dudley and prob. A few more. Of course I have ancestors from other European nations. What I’ve gathered is that some of these Irish ancestors came from Ulster.

Ó Ciarmhaic (Kirby) is very difficult to find in Ireland.

@OCiarmhaic 7 ай бұрын

@SharonBoland-ui3ns the 'by' at the end of my name was anglicized from Ó Ciarmhaic to Kirby. It's not viking origin. It's origin is from Knockainey, County Limerick. Ó Ciarmhaic means Descendant of Black/Dark Son. Ciar = Black/dark complexion and Mhic is a genitive form of Son.

@OCiarmhaic 7 ай бұрын

@SharonBoland-ui3ns I understand. And there is a possibility there was intermarriage and allies made with the vikings. However, one of the earliest records I've found of the Ó Ciarmhaic name is approximately 450 A.D. And the vikings hadn't come to Ireland yet. I'm sure the name goes back further. But that's the earliest I've found so far. We are of the Eoghanachta - from the Eoghanacht Áine Cliach specifically. Straight from Áine herself.

It sounds like a double-barrel of two common Irish names, O'Donohue and O'Dea, so they may be referred to as O'Donohue-Dea to distinguish that particular branch of O'Donohue's from all others in the area. You could imagine, with so many relatives in close proximity, distinguishing one from the other would have been pragmatic and necessary. For example, I've Byrne's blood in my lineage. They're from Wicklow, Leinster and seemingly there were two branches the 'black' Byrnes and the 'red' Byrnes.
