If only I could remember when my ggrandfather Peter O'Flynn migrated to Vancouver and then the island in Victoria. Somewhere in the early 1900's, and then was in the Navy; yet the O'Flynn relatives of mine are untraceable for me so far as I was very close with my ggrandparents Peter and Mary (Matthews, maiden name) O'Flynn; yet the rest of the O'Flynn's lived elsewhere. I'm sure he had siblings in Vancouver possibly. From there I'd like to also pinpoint the counties in Ireland where my relatives live. I should probably look into Matthews as well, yet I think Scotland is the main area of my ggrandmothers heritage. The Carr's are also related to me as are the White's.

Shannon, The Flynn, O'Flynn and other variations of the surname are very common in Ireland and you'll find them in just about every county. While family information about ancestors can contain important clues, your best way to try to find your O'Flynns in Ireland is through Canadian church and civil records. Family recollections may send you to the wrong place in Ireland in your search. There are generally no surviving census records for Ireland for the 1800s. Civil registration didn't start until 1864 (Protestant marriages in 1845). The first complete census is 1901 and 1911 has been issued early. Available Church registers would be your primary source for your ancestral information in Ireland. So you should start with the available Canadian census records and then try to obtain information in civil and church records as well as Peter O'Flynn's naval information. Tombstone inscriptions, obituaries, cemetery records, wills and even church histories are other important sources. You'll need not only the county where they originated in Ireland but also the townland or civil parish. These are Administrative Divisions generally used in the 1800s as geographic locations. An explanation is available at http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/news/articles/2435.asp A list of all the townlands in Ireland for each county is available at http://www.seanruad.com Just select the county you're interested in and you can access the list for that county.
