I am not sure about an exact formula, but I consider myself 25% Irish. This is how I calculate it: First, I assign 50% of my makeup to my dad's lines & 50% to my mom's lines. Then, I break it down to the next generation. Mom was 50% English (her dad) and 50% Irish (her mom). Dad had a wee bit of Irish in him a good bit back so I am not counting that. Therefore, I tell people I am 25% Irish as one of my 4 grandparents is Irish and of full Irish ancestry herself. Now, if you are talking about irishness as far as EXPOSURE, my percentage shoots up a good bit as the Irish quarter of my make-up had the most influence on me. Mom followed her Irish forebears and was Catholic and I was raised that way. My grandmother of Irish descent (her mother immigrated from west Co. Cork in 1875, her dad was born in DC in 1858 of Irish parents) lived with us as I was growing up, so her food and Holiday customs, etc - all derived from her Irish-American culture in growing up - became ours, for the most part. I did get some input from dad's side of the family or even my maternal grandfather's side, but not much...until I began to study them more later. Turns out there is a good bit of German and Welsh on dad's side, for example.

Kathleen, for your information there is no need to "calculate" your Irishness. There are the Irish and then the rest who wish they were Irish. In my case, Dad was Irish born of an Irish father (Tyrone farmers and publicans) and an American mother, in Ireland. The mother's father was of 100 % Irish (Gaffigan and Amos), but he was born in Scotland and to his dying day he held that he was a Highland Scot (although he had never been near the Highlands). He and his brother immigrated in 1860s. His wife was a Crennan, from Irish parents: Crennan and Murphy that immigrated to San Francisco in the 1850s. My mother was American, but her forbears were Irish from around Cork and Roscommon. They even had a Carroll from Cork, Honora who married a Gahagan. All of these had immigrated in the 1860s to the Midwest. But I am a San Franciscan that lives far away in the high desert of Utah. jim -----Original Message----- From: countycork-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:countycork-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Kathleen B.

I am researching the following BOOZAN/BEAUSANGs (4 siblings) who emigrated from County Cork, Ireland to Warren County, Illinois: 1-Bridget BOOZAN born about 1836 in County Cork; emigrated about 1857. Married Michael QUIRK, also from County Cork, in Warren County, Illinois in 1862. 2-John BEAUSANG born July 1832 or July 1834 in County Cork; emigrated in 1864. Married Johanna O'NEILL, also from County Cork, in Warren County, Illinois in 1866. 3-Thomas BOOZAN born Dec 1828 in County Cork; married Johanna MAHONEY (born about 1819 in County Cork) in about 1851 in County Cork. 5 children born in County Cork: Hannah (born Dec 1851), Thomas (born Dec 1853), John (born about 1857), Richard (born Aug 1859), and Martha/Matthew* (born about 1861). The entire family emigrated about 1866 to Warren County, Illinois. 4-Catherine BOOZAN born Dec 1839 in County Cork; married Maurice WALSH about 1866 in County Cork. 4 children possibly born in Garryvoe, County Cork: Maurice (born about 1867), Richard (born Jan 1870), David (born Aug 1872), Catherine (born about 1874). Maurice WALSH died before 1883; Catherine BOOZAN WALSH and her children emigrated to Warren County, Illinois in 1883. *Warren County Illinois Census records list daughter Martha, but History of Rawlins County, Kansas and Rawlins County cemetery transcriptions list son Matthew and no daughter Martha. If anyone can identify the parents of the above BOOZAN/BEAUSANGs, I would be most grateful for the information.  I believe they may have been born in or near Garryvoe, Ballycrenane, or Kilcredan in County Cork. ========================================================== While researching the above siblings, I also found the following BOOZAN/ BEAUSANG families (all born in Ireland) living in Warren County, Illinois.  They all arrived in the late 1850s or early 1860s. Given the rarity of the BOOZAN/ BEAUSANG name, I'm guessing that all of these BOOZAN/BEAUSANGs are related. James R BOOZAN born about 1830 in Ireland.  Married (1) Margaret MORRISSEY in 1862 in Warren County, Illinois; married (2) Bridget BOOZAN (born about 1843 in Ireland) in 1878 in Warren County, Illinois; married (3) Katherine DOYLE in 1890 in Knox County, Illinois James BOOZAN born about 1830 in Ireland.  Married Mary (Mary Margaret?) -unknown- in about 1856 in USA. Margaret BOOZAN born about 1828 in Ireland.  Married John MAHONEY in about 1848 in Ireland. Emigrated in about 1853. Michael BOOZAN born Feb 1827 in Ireland.  Married Margaret DOOLING in about 1854. Emigrated in about 1854. Thomas J BOOZAN born about 1831 in Ireland.  Married Johanna -unknown- in about 1864 in US. She was born Feb 1835 in Ireland and married 1stly -unknown- HALL. Patrick W BOOZAN born Nov 1833 in Ireland.  Married Ellen LEE in 1869 in Warren County, Illinois. Hannah BOOZAN born about 1831 in Ireland. Married Edward GILLIN in 1861 in Warren County, Illinois. Thomas BOOZAN, born about 1835 in Ireland. Married Julia LEE in 1860 in Warren County, Illinois. William BOOZAN born Nov 1833 in Ireland. Married Ellen L -unknown- in about 1859 in USA. Bridget BOOZAN born June 1836 in Ireland. Married (1) Morris SHUNICK in 1860 in Warren County, Illinois. Married (2) Morris LEE in 1862 in Warren County, Illinois. Margaret BUZAN born about 1830 in Ireland. Married (1) -unknown- WALSH in about 1849. Married (2) Cornelius BRIDE in 1866 in Illinois? Also: Richard BOOZAN born about 1815 in Ireland.  Married Catherine -unknown- in about 1837 in Ireland. Family emigrated in 1851 and settled in Franklin County, Vermont. Richard married (2) Emily DRISCOLL in about 1868 in Vermont.  Several of Richard's children moved to Warren County, Illinois. Any additional information (parents!?) on these BOOZAN/BEAUSANGs would be appreciated. Thank you. -- Karen Arp karp@pobox.com

Every year prior to St Patrick's day my kids ask me "How much Irish am I?"  I always reply 100% Irish on St Patrick's Day...........All kidding aside, how do I figure that out? How do I know how much Irish that I am? 

Hi,      If they were married in Cork, the marriage cert can be obtained in Dublin at the registrars of births, deaths +marriages, once it was after 1864.I don'tknow if you can do this on line, I presume you can. The registrars has moved to the Irish life mall in Dublin city. You'll have to look up the adress, if you have to do it by post.

>I?m trying to find a birth record for James Welch, born County Cork, emigated to the US around 1850 we believe. He was born around 1818-1822 to a Morris/Maurice Welch/Welsh/Walsh and a Mary McDonald, farmers. James had a brother John, born around 1814 who also emigrated. He was married to Bridget Coughlan/Coughlin, also born Co Cork, around 1820. To the best of my knowledge, the eldest children of James and Bridget were John, Morris, Ellen and Michael. Their children were all born in the US, beginning shortly after James and Bridget arrived in New Hampshire, likely via New York or Boston. Any assistance in finding birth, marriage or departure information for this couple would be much appreciated< Perhaps they came in through Canada. Many in New England did. You really need to find place of origin in US or Canadian records--I know, I say this over and over, decade after decade. Have you checked all these records for ALL your family members and their Irish origin neighbors: tombstones obituaries other newspaper articles church records (what religion were they?) census records land records vital records Readers, note, I am answering this query, not asking it

Hello All, I am trying to find information on my 4th Great Grandfather, Seaton (Seton) COLEMAN. He was born in 1792 according to the United States Census Records. He emigrated to the United States several years before his first son, Joshua, was born in 1814/15. Any help is most appreciated. Gary Coleman

Thanks everyone for your valuable info/advice so far. I'd appreciate it if you'd keep us in mind if you ever come across any more leads. Here¹s what I currently have: James Welch and Bridget Coughlin are born somewhere in Co Cork, immigrate to the US abt 1847 and marry there abt 1848 (1910 Census). They are both still alive at the time of the 1900 Census (James dies in 1907 and Bridget in 1909). Bonkersdog, can I take you up on your offer and ask you to look them up in the 1900 Census in Pembroke NH for me? I haven¹t found a marriage record for them yet ­ I'm looking mainly in MA and NH. Neither have I found an immigration/passenger record for either of them, or James's brother John (John dies at his brother James's home in Pembroke in 1897 aged 83 years, so born abt 1814, a few years before James) The 1850 Census has James and Bridget living in Pembroke NH. They are shown as having no children. The 1870 Census shows their children being born from abt 1850 onwards. One of my problems is the conflicting birth dates for James Welch gleaned mainly from several sources: 1907 Tombstone and obit: 1818 Obit says he lived in Pembroke 40 years (so arrived abt 1867-even though the 1850 census already has them in Pembroke then); previous residence Ireland (sic). 1907 death record: 1822 (death record shows his parents as being Morris Welch and Mary McDonald, Ireland) 1850 Census: abt 1814 1870 Census: abt 1825 1880 census: abt 1820 If I go by the usual Irish naming convention: First son named for Father's father = John (death record, however, shows James's father as Morris. 1900 census shows Morris as being born around 1850, not 1852 as indicated in 1870 census ­ so perhaps born before John?? This would make sense. Second son named for Mother's father =Morris (again, doesn't make sense: Morris must have been born before John, making Bridget's father's name John instead??) Third son named for Father =James Fourth son named for Father's eldest brother=Michael (James and Bridget's other children were William J, Thomas and Daniel) First daughter named for Mother's mother= Ellen Frances Second daughter named for Father's mother=no other known daughters On 3/3/10 3:00 AM, "countycork-request@rootsweb.com" <countycork-request@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > > Check out the Ireland GenWeb County Cork Website at: > http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlcor/ > It is a good place to find information related to your family research. > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

My primary genealogy research is on Walsh families from around Skibbereen in southwest County Cork. The key for you to finding information on your Welch family is knowing the townland they were born in. Otherwise the names are generally just too common. I've gone thru my BMD info for this area of Co Cork, and don't have anything for Maurice/Morris. This first name should be helpful to you as it's quite different. I have a Daniel Walsh that married an Ellen Coughlan in Skibbereen in 1840. I'll keep your email just in case I come across a Maurice in my research.

Hello, Donna -- Have you located the James Welch family in the 1850 (or 1860) U.S. Census for New Hampshire? That could provide some useful background information. Were James or Mary still living in 1900? Enumerators in that U.S. Census asked for the year that a person immigrated to the U.S. That information could also be helpful in more narrowly focusing your search. I don't believe that New Hampshire conducted state censuses but neighboring Massachusetts did so in 1855 and 1865 and there might also be useful clues there if the family had moved across the state line. Good luck in the eternal search for ancestors!

I have had problems sending emails from Comcast to eircom. I spent a good deal of time communicating with Comcast. They gave very complex directions about getting the OTHER person to follow a certain process. I asked how I could get this information to the OTHER person if my email did not go through. (I do have a secondary email address and used that. The person followed all of the directions and the email got through to me, but only for that one time). I called Comcast again and was told that if an ISP does not have enough filters for spam, Comcast will not accept mail from that ISP. That was the case with eircom. Regardless of the pros and cons on this issue, that seems to be the bottom line. Comcast suggested that if enough eircom subscribers complained, eircom might add more filters. Comcast said that most of the viruses that are really damaging tend to come from overseas. Recently I have begun to get email from eircom, but I don't know if that will continue. I also was not able to get an Australian ISP: optusnet. I think one solution, although not perfect, is to have an alternative email address: hotmail or yahoo or gmail come to mind. If someone sees your comcast address on a message board and tries to email you directly you would have a problem, but the alternative email address helps with those you regularly correspond with. Was it eircom you had difficulty with? Or was there also another ISP?

I previously used Comcast for my ISP. I experienced problems receiving emails. I called their customer help line and they assured me every email sent to my address went euither into my IN BOX or my "spam filter" email folders. So I got an copy of the particulars of an email that was not received by me. I called again and they again confirmed every email went either to my IN BOX or spam filter folders. I then read provided the evidence to the contrary. Oooops! After talking with the manager of the customer service group, she gave me the phone number for their "network security" group. In talking with the Comcast newtork security group, I learned that they outsource their "high level email network filter" responsibility to a third party that checks all incoming traffic to their email servers. They track email that they consider bad -- spam or virus infected, etc. -- and when the percentage gets to a certain level (not for public information), they refuse ALL email from that source. You can request that the Comcast network security group re-authorize this email service provider to allow it to be "approved" -- but when it again gets to a certain level of "bad" email coming in to Cioncast, they will again block that email server. I expect your experience with intermittent email problems is caused by this security protocol. Note that if you use email forwarding addresses tht don't check for spam/virus emails before forwarding or the sending ISP has a large number of users with no or ineffective PC firewall security whose PCs have been compromised and are sending tons of email spam unkown to the PC owners, you'll experience this problem since Comcast has a very large number of users and I'm sure many get emails send from Irish ISPs. Hope this isn't too techy for the problem to be understood. In any case, I left Comcast for this specific reason -- their "high lever network security email filter" through out the baby with the (bad email) bathwater.....

Geez, and to think that most of my problems is with email coming from the ancient land of my ancestors - Scotland. The wee scoundrels haven't changed a wee bit over the centuries ;-) lol... Cliff.
