Looking for Matthews relatives

LouthDromin (Louth)

Hello, I just joined, and am hoping to ultimately find where my Matthews ancestors originated, which I think is most likelysomewhere in Ireland.. The most helpful evidence I have is the result of a DNA test through Family Tree DNA. The vast majority of my genetic matches are toold Irish families, but I havent had a match to a Matthews individual in Ireland yet, and this is what I am hoping to find. Once I find this individual, it will guide my future research, using the resources of IGRS which I expect will be very helpful. My question is whether you have any suggestions for me making contact with living Matthews descendants in Ireland, especially in county Louth, so that I can attempt to recruit any interested individuals to participate in genetic genealogy? I appreciate your thoughts.

Best regards,

Dear Gerry

Following from Pat's earlier advice (http://www.irelandxo.com/ireland/louth/louth/message-board/looking-matt…) you could contact the Dundalk Democrat as a starting point

Ok, perfect, I'll contact them. I was able to get an ad placed to run in the Drogheda Leader that will come out next week on Wednesday, but another wouldn't hurt.

Thanks,
