My wife and I just returned from another wonderful trip to Ireland.  With your help we found the cemetery where we found the gravesite of her grandmother's brothers, Philip and Patrick Coyne.  We receive the newsletter from Irelandxo and read an interesting article about 23andme, DNA testing.  We talked to a yound women in Clifden and her name is Vanessa Coyne.  We would love to know if she is related somehow to my wife and how we could find others who might be related to the Coyne family.  Renvyle is full of Coyne's and we would like to find any relatives when we come back next summer.  We are going to request a DNA kit and send it back but we dont know what to do after this.  Any help would be great.  Thanks again for all your help finding the Coyne family information.  Steve and Shannon

Hi,

 

I am researching my grandmothers family - she was Mary and her mother was Mary Coyne married to Martin Nee. I am wondering if the Patrick you are talking about is her father. I have a Patrick Coyne (my great great grandfather) born 1821- 1901 and he was married to Catherine (Geraghty/Heraghty).

I would love to know the name of cemetery? Hopefully this is a match and I can find other family members. Would love to take a trip to Ireland in the future- sounds like it was a great time. Thank you for any help.

 

Thanks,

 

Michelle
