http://genealogicalobsessions.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 30, 2013. More DNA fun.a Galvin Match. When first working on the family tree, I talked to Ma about her relatives. One of the things that Ma told me was that her grandfather, John G. O'Connell, used G as his middle initial because Galvin was his mother's maiden name. Courtesy of Kathy Finn. One of Maurice's daughters (see right) lived in Derrynane township, as did John G. O'Connell. Kate Galvin O'Leary was buried in the cemetery of the Church of St. Thomas, Derrynane. My dad matched Sheila ...

Mare's Genealogical Obsessions: April 2012
http://genealogicalobsessions.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 11, 2012. 5th cousin to my Grandmother's Cat. Well, the DNA is back on Colette's spit test! We sent our DNA into 23andMe. To see what we could find out about our relationship. We do have a bit of DNA in common. We were categorized as 3rd to distant cousins. If we follow the information we have, I am about 7 generations from the common ancestor and Colette is 5 generations, so I guess that would be distant!

Saturday, March 10, 2012. The above is a sample of the handwriting of Sarah Jane Lewis Thompson Spencer. Phil Cowen, a Thompson descendant, sent me the scan. I have previously written about Don Burgett's kindness in contacting me about the letters and he provided me with transcriptions of this letter and 2 others by the family. Thanks to both Phil and Don for this wonderful piece of our family history. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My father-in-law calls me Irish. View my complete profile.

Mare's Genealogical Obsessions: June 2012
http://genealogicalobsessions.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 25, 2012. RIP Patrick Thomas Burns 1930-2012. Uncle Pat would appreciate this:. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, let perpetual light shine upon him. May he and all the faithfully departed rest in peace. Amen. He told me recently that he sends out the births and deaths of people to an email list, especially deaths, so people will be reminded of them and say an Ave. So, say an Ave for Uncle Pat.

Saturday, April 30, 2011. I've been slacking. Visit the St. Thomas blog. For an account of John H. Shea's trip to Ireland and back. Of course, when I read this there was cursing. Would it be too much to ask to have put a little genealogical info in the report of his visit? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My father-in-law calls me Irish. View my complete profile.

Sunday, April 21, 2013. Three Funerals and a Wedding. It's been a tough year in Lake Wobegon. The Burns family has lost 3 and gained one. Patrick Thomas Burns, son of Ann Mary O'Connell and George F. Burns, died on June 23, 2012. Anita F. Wood Burns, wife of John G. Burns died February 20, 2013. My dad, Richard G. Burns, died February 28, 2013. When you read in an obituary, "will be sadly missed", it is so true. If we believe in the communion of saints, we are all one and together no matter our state.

Mare's Genealogical Obsessions: DNA Trail...
http://genealogicalobsessions.blogspot.com/2013/01/dna-trail.html
Saturday, January 26, 2013. I recently got the results of my Geno 2.0. DNA test. This test gives results for distant ancestors and since I am female, it only gives mitochondrial DNA. I already knew from Thomas' test at FTDNA. That the haplogroup for our matrilineal line was J- J2a1a1a2. There is an interesting book written by Bryan Sykes entitled The Seven Daughters of Eve. I went to a program sponsored by Irish Genealogical Society International. And the speaker gave an overview of DNA and genealogy....
