South of Ireland Melican tribe

WaterfordDungarvan (Waterford)

DNA testing shows that there are two distinct Melican clans - the Co. Clare Melicans and the Co. Waterford Melicans. I am from the latter very much smaller clan and interested in the genealogy of this group.

In Dungarvan, we have marriage links to Hyde, Browne, Hudson, Keating, O'Mahoney, and Stedman families.

Any information pertaining particularly to parishes of Dungarvan, Abbeyside, Kilmacthomas & Waterford Rural gratefully received.

Thank you and best wishes

Hello Nigel,

Thank you for your message. 

It might be worth contacting Waterford County Museum https://www.facebook.com/waterfordcountymuseum/ if you haven't already, particularly for the Dungarvan and Abbeyside end of things. For Kilmacthomas, you might like to post here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/111867009495601/, while this might be worth a try for the Waterford end of things: https://www.facebook.com/WaterfordSocialHistory/. 

Wishing you all the best with your search,

Cian
