While tracing our Redmond family tree, I have found that surname in both Antrim (Northern Ireland) and Wexford (Southern Ireland) Does anyone know if the two families are related?
Thank you.

I have Redmond in my family tree and I have done some research in the states on them and found them to be in Baltimore and Pennsyvania and my branch ended up in Wisconsin. Are we related perhaps? Aaron Redmond is my ancestor.

Hello Redmond tree persons.
There is another Redmond group from Black Rock Dublin.
This group is has different DNA to most.
Some Redmond (Redmain) name came from Catholic troops, originating in Spain and Portugal.
There is an Ely Carrol Project that traces the descendents of the Kingof Munsters 4 sons from tthe 4th century, one son became the King of Adair, 130 years later his descendants lostAdair in a battle,
He had Redhair and his descendants surname became Redmond..
There has been only one Redmond male who has matched that family and that son. He happens to be my btother in law.
Would recommend any Redmond male to have a familytreedna test, if you match, the researches will be very excited and give you enourmous amounts of information
regards
Colin Wilson

Four years later and I'm still attempting to trace my Redmond branch.
I do have a small percentage of Spanish in my DNA which I thought was unusual. My Dad's side were straight off the Mayflower here in Massachusetts and my maternal grandmother was Scottish and English. It's the Redmond side where the Irish comes in, but I'll be darned if I can find anyone further back than my late Grandfather, whose name was Gerald Peter.
unfortunately, only females in our family have taken the DNA test.
