 Consider removing your SOURCE CITATIONS when you share. Withholding source citations is one strategy for publicly sharing your research to encourage others to contact you without giving away all of your own hard work. Genealogical research with names, dates, places and relationships becomes a mere finding aid if it is published without source citations. Be sure to label your work as "without sources" or "sources available upon request" so that other researchers will recognize that you've intent

MacCarthy Cremeen Results

From McCarthy Surname study FTDNA

Yes you are definitely Irish Type II. The mutations  I highlighted are based on an Irish Type II background. The defining Irish Type  II progenitor lived some time in the first millenium A.D. So all Irish Type II  people will have mutations which occurred since then, defining their  sub-branches.
I'm so glad that you have had a successful outcome  in contacting Cummings. As I said previously, " I agree it only needed a generation to omit the "r" in  O'Croimin (or

I have talked a lot on my blog and on Facebook about how the digital world has changed our relationship and concept of memoir. With each national disaster, we turn to Facebook, Twitter and other online websites to find out what happened, then understand the impact and finally to share our upsets and grief. We mourn publicly in a way we couldn’t have imagined only 10 years ago.

            On the surface, the majority of the problems that can arise when DNA and family genealogy tests are incorporated into modern-day life appear to be outweighed by the substantial benefits these practices offer. When it comes to the methodological problems these types of tests can pose, this appearance is generally true, as there are numerous ways that the problems can be minimized and mitigated, and the ends generally justify the means. However, in one parti

When the term ‘slavery’ as it pertains to the United States is mentioned, almost all minds immediately turn towards thinking of the enslavement of Africans by pre-Civil War American citizens. While the images that are conjured up by contemplating era of human indignity certainly fit the bill, all too often it is the only instance of slavery that comes to mind. As a result, other instances and time periods of human slavery become lost in the shuffle. Even in regards t

the Plight of Past Irish & the Freedom of Modern Irish
When asking people around the globe the simple question of what their nationality is, a significant amount of responses would include Irish or part-Irish. For most people, this simply means that their ancestors, at some point in past history, lived in Ireland. For others however, being Irish holds a much deeper and more significant historical value. In either case, any resemblance between people who actually lived in old-wo

            The Tudor period of English history ran from the late 15th Century to the early 17th Century, beginning during the reign of King Henry VII and ending with the death of Queen Elizabeth I. While this dynamic period of time following the Black Death played host to dramatic improvements in human health and increases in agricultural and industrial development, the era was also rife with political and economic upheaval. This is exemplified in the Tudor conquest of Ireland, which was the

MacCarthy Cremeen sept

Cremin- The ancient genealogies indicate the origination of the MacCarthy Cremin sept in the 14th century arising from a birth to Donal Glas Mac Carthhaigh (or his son or brother Diarmuid) and the daughter of an O Cruimin. So, although an O Cruimin male family name was extant at that time, Cremin (or variants thereof) is well known to this day as a McCarthy agnomen.
Ó CRUIMÍN—O Crumyne, Crimmeen, Cremeen, Cremin, Cremen, Crimmins; 'descendant of Cruimín' (diminutive of crom, bent); the name of a

JIMMY CLARK AND THE HOSE RUNNERS

13559128453?profile=original

             Before there were rock stars, television and million dollar contracts, there were the Hose Racers. E.A.B.

 

Since childhood I have heard family discussions about James Clark’s athletic career. He was an energetic, charismatic personality I am told, who died prematurely. He was not a wealthy man.  His legacy was the races he ran and the competitions in which he participated. That said, his claim to fame was his association with the W.A. Bailey hose running team.

Jimmy’s life was never e

There was not much activity for the state in February. The month was filled with a lot of personal stuff. I also spent time helping a friend begin her family research. Please keep an eye on the Guerrero – Vasquez Family History page under “Family Research” on the Texas home page.

Hopefully, this will grow into a major part

Fayetteville Families

I am brand new to this website and so am a little confused about who is responsible for the group called "Fayetteville Families".  I have researched the Lewis Barge family from Fayetteville for many years, but have never before seen the claim that Lewis Barge's second wife, Christiana, was Christiana "Schaumberger".  Many, many descendants have spent much time trying to determine her maident name, only to hit a dead end.  Even Oliver Weaver, who wrote an excellent book about the Barges, could no
