Anne,

I have matches to persons who have immigrated to Canada who know at least one, two or three generations back in Ireland.  I have their trees and my trees and we think we need to go back at least one or two more generations on their trees and on our tree.  Every time new records are published, I look to see if I can add to their trees or to ours, but have not been able to add to any of the trees.  I have found proof for some of the allegations in other trees, but I have not been able to add any new generations.  I was hoping for someone who had stayed in Cork and perhaps knew their family history back to the "missing" connection.  (In my husband's family we found the parts of his Lippelmann family who stayed in Gerrmanuy and were able to reconnect with them,.  It was without genetics, just the good old internet.)  It is perhaps wishful thinking, but you never know.  I have found some distant genetic cousins amoungst my early New England ancestors.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Thanks for taking an interest and your advice,                                                                                                                                   Joyce (Moore) Hodges

Hi Joyce Moore,

Just saw your message...I probably won't be of much help, but there are Newman married with Connell and Ducklow in Canada.

My Connell/Ducklow (also spelled Dukelow, especially in Cork Ireland).  They all seem to have sailed over about 1830 or as told to m e the Newman's came over from Schull County Cork in 1832 (this from Lindy Newman).  These people were all in the Leeds/Grenville area of Upper Canada (now Ontario).   I was recently in Ireland (first time and would love to go back) and went to the town of Schull.  I noticed while driving through by on the main street a restaurant with the name T.J. Newman's.  I didn't get a chance to go in.  I would suggest that these people being in the very midst of where the ancestors lived, would be your best bet to contact.   I have found though that the people I connected with on my Dukelow side had no information themselves going further back than the 1870's.  It is indeed difficult to make THE connection.  I know if the census had not been destroyed, this would all be so much easier!  However, don't give up! I too have had some success online finding someone related to my German side and we are related very far back.  And Germany with the wars has made some things difficult too, so it can be done.  I have done my DNA but not with Ancestry, but with Family Tree.  I have little success with it so far, and more done through online searching.  So, if all else fails, you can write to the restaurant (I haven't check their phone book on line) a nice letter, and see what happens.  I've had a lot of success in Canada that way, not sure for Ireland though!!  Good luck, and please let us know if you find your Newman's!    In British Columbia, Canada -- April

We tested at FTDNA as well.  I have found about a dozen cousins so far.   A couple are back further than I would  have thought, so imagine we share multiple ancestor couples.  One person I share a single atDNA match, but we share a link through 3 of my 4 grandparents.  We have eliminated one of the 3 possible ancestor couples as the source of the shared atDNA, and are hoping some day to find a person who shares with us at the same spot, and matches only one of the two possible remaining ancestor couples.  DNA is fun and frustrating at the same time.   

Thomas Dukelow married a Sarah Frances Moore who is related to one of our Y-DNA from that area of Cork.  We might find out some day we are distantly related.
