STARTING YOUR
RESEARCH
Before you start your research try and collect as much information as
possible from family sources. However, do not be surprised if family legends do
not turn out to be true. Have an idea of what you would like to achieve. It
should be possible to trace your family to the early 1800s. Make a list of the
surnames and placenames and possible spelling variations. There is a lot of
information available and the unusual can make your researches easier. It is
usually easier to start in the present and search backwards.
Surnames
Certain surnames and forenames are particular to Wexford and the
south-east in general. Also the pronunciation of some names is particular to
Wexford. The spelling of surnames has changed over time and has standardised in
modern times. The older the records, the greater the variation in spellings.
The following is a list of Wexford surnames from the Griffiths Valuation
of the 1860s: http://www.wexfordtown.ie/files/WT Surnames 1860.htm
The following link has some information on the distributions of surnames
in the 1860s, the variants of spelling and their history: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/index.cfm
The following link gives a number of online references on Irish names: http://www.libraryireland.com/Names.php
Irish Pedigrees, Vol. II: http://www.archive.org/details/irishpedigreesor021892byuohar
[Note: The text versions are faster to download, but may contain reading
errors. The PDF version is a searchable facsimile.]
Placenames
The smallest ‘administrative’ unit of the state is the townland,
followed by the civil parish, the barony and the county. Other administrative
districts are the Poor Law Union (PLU) and District Electoral Division (DED).
Standardisation of the spelling of townlands and civil parish names was
a result of the Ordinance Survey in the 1830s. Official records after that date
usually use the standardised spelling. Counties that had a high level of Norman
settlement, have a high number of townlands and civil parishes. In Wexford,
there are over 2,300 townlands and 134 civil parishes.
The following is a link to a list of townlands with the standardised
spelling from the Griffiths Valuation:
Alphabetical: http://www.wexfordtown.ie/files/WT Placenames 1860
alpha.htm
Alphabetical by
Civil Parish: http://www.wexfordtown.ie/files/WT Placenames 1860
cp.htm
The following link
will give you a map of Civil Parishes. If you click on the name or on the map,
it will give you a list of the Townlands in that Civil Parish. You can also
search by clicking on "Placenames", but you need to use the
standardized spelling:
PLU's were districts created under the Poor Law Relief
Act of 1838 (aka the Poor Law). PLU's became 'General Registrar's Districts',
areas within which births, deaths and marriages were compiled. Some districts
covered areas that are outside of county boundaries. There are five PLUs for
the county of Wexford:
Enniscorthy (also includes a small part of the county
of Carlow)
Gorey
New Ross (also includes a small part of the counties
of Carlow and Kilkenny)
Shillelagh (also includes parts of the counties of Carlow and Wicklow)
Wexford
The Roman Catholic (RC) Parish is usually different in
size and shape to the civil parish, although they may have the same name.
Understandably this can lead to confusion. The RC parish also uses the same
townland names but not necessary the same boundaries. The following is a link
to the RC parishes and their townlands:

State Registration
The State registration of marriages in Ireland began
in 1845 and births and deaths in 1864. Poor Law Union - or PLU's were districts
created under the Poor Law Relief Act of 1838 (aka the Poor Law). PLU's became
'General Registrar's Districts', areas within which births, deaths and
marriages were compiled. Some districts covered areas that are outside of
county boundaries.
The books of registrations
are indexed according year (later quarter of the year), volume and page. The
registration books are stored at the Oifig An Ard-Chláraitheora (General
Register Office). Photocopies of entries in the registers are
available at a current cost (2011) of €4 in person (plus a search fee of €2)
and €6 by post. Photocopies contain exactly the same information as a
Certificate but are only of use for research purposes. Details are available
from:

NEWSPAPER
RECORDS
Irish National newspapers have many lists of names and addresses of
contributors to various causes; Nationalist/political, Church and Charities. An
interesting one is the amount of money collected in the early 1870s for the
relief of the French in the Franco-Prussian War. Newspapers are hard to search
unless you have dates. Online databases are a lot easier.
The Echo newspaper has regular columns of historical and family
interest:

Dublin.— The first ties of the Intercounty Hurling and Football
Championship were played on July 20, at Elm Park, Merrion. The following were
the counties and the teams which represented them :— Wexford, Castlebridge
Hurling Team ; Galway, Meelick Hurling Club ; Louth, Dundalk Young Ireland
Society F. C; Waterford, Ballydufl Lower F. C. ; Limerick, Commercial F. O. ;
Meath, Dowdstown F. 0. The Limerick Commercial, in charge of P. Treacy
(captain), and the Ballyduff men, in charge of Tom Nolan (captain).on arrival
at Kingsbridge received an enthusiastic welcome from a couple of thousand
Metropolitan Gaels (which included the greater part of the C. J. Kickhams) and
the Emmets (coal-porters) Fife and Drum Band, which played them to the
Provincial Hotel. The Castlebridge (Wexford) men, who were accompanied by
Father Wall, President, E. Walsh Chairman County Wexford Executive G.A.A., and
N. Kehoe, Hon. Sec., received a splendid reception on arrival at Harcourt street,
by a large crowd, who escorted them to Elm Park. The play created great
excitement, but passed off without a hitch. In the football matches Dundalk
Young Ireland Society beat Ballyduff Lower by a goal and 8 points to 3 points,
and Limerick Commercials beat Dowdstown (Meath) by 3 goals and 3 points to 2
points Wexford, represented by Castlebridge, made a brave but futile struggle
at hurling against Galway, whose champion team, Meelick, won by 2 goals and a
disputed goal and 8 points to a goal for Castlebridge.

EMIGRATION
AND TRANSPORTATION
There are a number
of databases available. Transportation started with the Americas and after
the American War of Independence, New South Wales Austaliar replaced North
America as a penal colony. Emigration was widespread before the famine. It often comes as a surprise to learn that
most contemporary North Americans, especially in the southern states, who think
of themselves as "Irish" are, in fact, Protestant, not Catholic.
Commentators generally agree that these Protestant Irish-Americans are
descended mainly from the Irish who settled in the United States prior to the
Famine (1850’s). As such, religion may also be an indication of time of
emigration.

Bounty immigrants were free immigrants whose
passage was paid by the colonial government under the `bounty scheme'. Under
this scheme, an incentive or reward (i.e. bounty) was paid to recruiting agents
in Britain to find suitable skilled labour and trades people, then ship them
out to the new colony.

DNA GENEALOGY
DNA studies
can be used to categorise genealogical groups sharing one common ancestor at
one given point in prehistory, through the study of haplogroups. There are two
kinds of haplogroups: the paternally inherited Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA)
haplogroups (i.e. through the male line), and the maternally inherited
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups (i.e. through the female line).
Depending
on the depth of analysis, the Y-DNA can determine whether two apparently
unrelated individuals sharing the same surname do indeed descend from a common
ancestor in a not too distant past (3 to 20 generations) or through deeper
analysis identify the ancient ethnic group to which one's ancestors belonged
(e.g. Celtic, Germanic, Slavic, Greco-Roman, Basque, Iberian, Phoenician,
Jewish, etc.).
In Europe, mtDNA
haplogroups are quite evenly spread over the continent, and therefore cannot be
associated easily with ancient ethnicities. However, they can sometimes reveal
some potential medical conditions.
The
following is a ‘sample’ of the genetic make-up of the Y-DNA Haplogroup in
Ireland:
|
Ireland |
79 R1b Celtic Basque |
7 I1 Nordic Germanic |
4 I2b Saxon Germanic |
3 R1a Slavic |
2 I2a Slavic |
2 E3B Greek |
1.5 J1 Jewish |
1 G Caucasian |
The R1b Haplogroup is thought to be the
direct descendant of Cro-Magnon, the oldest Homo-Sapiens settlers in Europe. It
is by far the most common in Western Europe, reaching over 90% of the
population in some parts of western France, northern Spain or Ireland. The
highest concentration of the Celtic R1b mutation (over 50) by whole country in
Europe are:
Wales 82%
Ireland 79%
Scotland 72.5%
Netherlands 70.5%
Spain 70%
England 67%
France 61%
Portugal 56%
Belgium 55%
Denmark,
Germany, Switzerland and Italy also have high concentrations. This roughly
equates to Western Europe minus the Nordic countries. The R1b haplogroup can
further classified to determine the movement of populations over time.
R1b1b2a1b6a/R1b1b2a1b6b/R1b1b2a1b6c (R1b1c1 or R1b1c7) arrived in Ireland 3000
to 2500 years ago.

It is important to check the number of markers that will be tested before choosing a test. For example, the Genographic Project looks at only 12 markers, while most laboratories and surname projects recommend testing at least 25. The more markers that are tested, the more discriminating and powerful the results will be. A 12 marker STR test is usually not discriminating enough to provide conclusive results for a common surname. STRs results may also indicate a likely haplogroup, though this can only be confirmed by specifically testing for that Haplogroups' single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The test results are then compared to another project member's results to determine the time frame in which the two people shared a most recent common ancestor (MRCA). If the two tests match on 37 markers, there is a 50% probability that the MRCA was fewer than 5 generations ago and a 90% probability that the MRCA was fewer than 17 generations ago.
DNA samples were collected from 1,125 Irish men, bearing 43 different Gaelic surnames. On average, a man has a 30-fold increased chance of sharing a 17 STR Y-chromosome haplotype with another man of the same surname but the extent of similarity between the surname and haplotype varies widely between surnames which is attributed this to differences in the number of early founders. Some surnames such as O’Sullivan and Ryan have a single major ancestor, whereas others like Murphy and Kelly have numerous founders probably explaining their high frequency today. Notwithstanding differences in their early origins, all surnames have been extensively affected by later male introgession. None examined showed more than about half of current bearers still descended from one original founder indicating dynamic and continuously evolving kinship groupings. Mutation rates are not available for all loci, therefore weighting was instead based on the variance in repeat score amongst 985 Y-chromosomes within the discrete R1b3 haplogroup. (McEvoy et al)
