DNA GENEALOGY
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.TraceyClann.com/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
The following link is to the comprehensive John O’Hart
“Irish Pedigrees or, The origin and stem of the Irish nation” (1892 edition):
Irish
Pedigrees, Vol. I: http://www.archive.org/details/irishpedigreesor01byuohar
Irish Pedigrees, Vol. II: http://www.archive.org/details/irishpedigreesor021892byuohar

version is a searchable facsimile.]

registration records.
Robert E. Matheson, (1894) Special Report On Surnames In Ireland. HMSO. [link]
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.TraceyClann.com/files/WT
Placenames 1860 alpha.htm
Alphabetical by
Civil Parish: http://www.TraceyClann.com/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:

Top Genealogical Websites for Wexford
There is a wealth
of information available online but these are the websites that I would
recommend for Wexford.
1. FindMyPast – this is a PAYSITE.
The reason that it
is listed first is because of the free information it contains eg the index to
the RC registers and links to birth & marriage civil records.
This is an excellent source of
information for early records, eg Wexford newspapers, military records, and
legal/prison records.
I would recommend the free trial [click here]

This is one of the
databases now included in the “Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland”. The major
benefit of the database is that you can search hand-written records. On the
negative side, the structure of the presentation of results is cumbersome and
relies on refreshing and re-loading of the webpages. As to be expected,
especially in the early records, there is no standardisation of the spelling of
names and placenames. It is recommended that a wildcards be used for searching,
? for a single character or * for multiple characters e.g. Wex* will include
records containing Wex..., Wexford or Wexforde.

The following
government website has a large number of CoI records for Wexford people,
registered in Dublin, Carlow etc. Also the later marriage records include the
addresses of the parents of the brides and grooms, including many from Wexford.
Unfortunately, these are not included as part of the search and you have to
look at the actual registers.
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/
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.
State Records
(indexed by PLU Districts) and other General Records and other databases: https://www.familysearch.org/
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 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).
FindMyPast have an index with links to the State
records:

1864-1916 Ireland Civil Birth Registers Index
https://search.findmypast.ie/search-world-Records/ireland-civil-birth-registers-index
[Note: There are a few records outside of these time
limits]
These
records up to 2013 were also available online from the State genealogy website.
These records were removed July 2014 but have returned in a more limited
date.The advantage of this record set is that, the later records have the name
of the spouse :
http://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
However,
the records are not complete, especially marriage and death records. As such, you
should compare results with Findmypast.ie and LDS [up to 1958]. With regard to
birth records you can search the post 1900 records by the mothers surname which
is a major advantage.
For certificates not available online, 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 and application forms are available

Freeholders of Wexford
1775. Sir, We whose names are hereunto subscribed, anxious for the honour, and for the prosperity of the county of Wexford, earnestly entreat you to read, with attention, an explanation of the motives which induced Mr. Ogle not to solicit vote or interest prior to the late general election. It is the substance of an elegant verbal address from that gentleman to the freeholders, convened by the high sheriff, on Friday the 30th of June, 1775, in consequence of a requisition from a number of respectable freeholders. It was taken down by a person present, and printed in the Wexford paper of the 3d of July, 1775; it will be re-printed, at our particular desire, in the Wexford Chronicle for Monday next. http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/4872285 [Reproduction of original from National Library of Ireland. Signed by Robert Doyne and eight other interested parties. Note: Not listed in Catelog]

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.
As of January
2019, the following Wexford newspapers have been digitalised and are searchable
online:

New Zealand Tablet – Irish News
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 in Austalia 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.

North America
I came across this
reference about early colonial America, and the names all sound like Wexford
names:
“In the Great Swamp
Fight [southern Rhode Island] in King Philip's War in 1675, five Connecticut
Irishmen are on record as having won distinction by their gallant conduct, and
as receiving as the reward of their services, generous grants of land. The
names of these brave men deserve to be perpetuated. They were the sturdy
pioneers in this land of a race that has ever been its defenders; and as the
records of the infant nation are emblazoned with the brave deeds of Erin's
sons, so will the annals of the mighty giant in the future be enriched with
their brilliant and valorous achievements. Our heroes of the Great Swamp Fight
were James Murphy, Daniel Tracy, Edward Larkin, James Welch, and John Roach
[given land in Norwalk town, Conn].”

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.

Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG)
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.
