Did the Kernoghan’s come from County Donegal?
April 1st, 2009 at 1:03 am
Indeed the Kernaghan (or O’Kernaghan) family name is listed in County Donegal along the coast. The map also shows their ancestry in County Sligo slightly to the south. Have you done much research into your Irish heritage?

Firstly the map looks great and is very informative. you have listed the name cooke on the map What county have you got it in and is the the irish origin cooke family. Also is the information on the map correct ie based on historical fact.
April 9th, 2009 at 1:35 am
Cooke is listed in County Wicklow near the border of County Carlow. The map was actually handed down to my wife and I from her father who had it researched by a local historian. We have also had customers confirm their place of ancestry as correct.

Heading to Ireland on the 3oth May. Wondering where my best bet is to look for family roots. I believe the family originaly came from County Cork or County Clare. Thanks,

LOOKING FOR THE NAME GERAGHTY
November 24th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
The map shows McGeraghty from County Mayo (West Coast). It also shows a McGeraghy a little further north along the coast in County Leitrim. Many times the family roots are the same with a slightly different spelling.

I come from a long line of Irish people but could not find any of my ancestors names. My great-grandfather ‘Coyle’ came to America from Ireland in the mid-1800′s; my great-grandmother ‘MacMahon’ married him in Ireland a few years before immigrating and the ‘Kelly’ side of the family moved here in the early 1700′s. Why can’t I find any of my ancestors?
Thanks for the help.
December 7th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
I apologize but it appears that the last update to the website did caused a problem with the search function.
Coyle (O’ Coyle) is listed in County Donegal
MacMahon (or Mc) is listed in Counties Monaghan, Clare and Louth
Kelly (O’ Kelly) is listed in Counties Down, Tyrone, Kildare, Dublin and Roscommon.

Would like to know if my family name is on the map in County Cork
December 10th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Would like to know if my family name is on the map from County Cork.
December 10th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Indeed O’Scannell is listed in County Cork on the map
January 3rd, 2010 at 7:08 pm
I didn’t see “Tighe” on the list of family names in Ireland…
March 13th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
has gallagher always been from donegal
March 15th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
Indeed, Gallegher has always been connected to County Donegal. If you click on the map on the website it will open up a larger section of the map. If you click on it again, it will magnify it which will show County Donegal and you’ll see O’Gallagher.
Also here is a link to a book about County Donegal which lists O’Gallegher and some history for you

Above, Admin says, on Dec 7th, [ POST 11 ] Kelly/O’Kelly is from a list of Counties that does not include County Cork, and County Clare. I am only “watered-down” twice, so I have that fact from the horses mouth. My Dads Mother was a Singleton, and his Grandmother, Mary Shanahan. They were all from those counties, including that devil of an O’Kelly that snuck in and worked his charms!Any info would certainly be helpful and appreciated!
Slantē
P.S.
Also re: [POST 17] ; this may be way off, but my wife is Italian, and her cousin was nicknamed by her Grandmother as “TIGHE” as it means TIGER in italian.
April 2nd, 2010 at 3:13 pm
My grand father came from Derry, I do not see our family name MAY on the list, do you have a listing anywhere else?
April 16th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
I understand McCracken comes from County Down can they be traced to a paticular. My Grandfather said they liven near the coast and could row across to Scotland. I cannot find much info regarding my relatives in Ireland through ancestory.com. Is their anyplace on the web or that I could write to for documentation–interested in back to the 1700′s. Thanks
April 26th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
The map shows McCracken being from County Londonderry, northwest of County Down. I would try to do some searching with this in mind.
April 26th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
