The DNA was used to find Kerry ancestors. My great grandfather Philip Mahony came from County Kerry. I have been unable to find his parents. Were they from Kerry or Cork? I thought DNA would help. Apparently William Romansky knows of a better way. On 10/19/13, irl-kerry-request@rootsweb.com wrote: Today's Topics: 1. Those who know the least know it the loudest. The DNA Discussion.

They show a map but used my family tree to pinpoint the locations. They also gave me many matches. None of them had any of my family names. I even contacted several of them and they were also at a loss as to how we were connected. My DNA site is now down (has been since yesterday afternoon) so cannot access any new information. Waste of money. -----Original Message----- From: [7]irl-kerry-bounces@rootsweb.com [[8]mailto:irl-kerry-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of [9]irl-kerry-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, October 18, 2013 3:00 AM To: [10]irl-kerry@rootsweb.com Subject: IRL-KERRY Digest, Vol 8, Issue 170 Today's Topics: 1.

Last week Ancestry told me I was 97% Scandinavian, 3% unknown. This week AncestryDNA made a big announcement that it has "evolved" and everyone gets new information. Today I am 36% Great Britain (still bogus), 25% Swedish, 23% Western European (also off), 5% Irish and 11% trace (made up of 5% Iberian Peninsula, 5% Eastern European, <1% European Jew). If they evolve enough they may get it right. I can't wait to see what FamilyTreeDNA comes up with. As far as I am concerned, Ancestry has absolutely no credibility. They gave me results in 3 weeks that they told me would take 6-8 and then change everyone's a week later.

Would I be correct in thinking that a name would ONLY be recorded if that person held a lease on the land that he / rarely she lived and worked on? In other words, the head of the household / family's name would appear, but the sons who were working and living in the same place, would not appear. I am minded of the instructions given to the census data compilers about farmers and their children who would appear as ' farmer's sons and daughter ' - but only if living in the same house. If they were living next door, say married with their own family, yet working on the family farm, they would not be termed ' farmer's sons ' but agricultural labourers. Might a similar situation account for names not appearing in the Tithes and Griffiths - even when we know for certain that they were living in a particular town land and parish?
