Surnames: McGirl and Solomon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YWC.2ACI/4997 Message Board Post: Hello all This is what I have found out about my grandmothers family. First of all she immigrated here from england when she was 2 years old. she grew up in rhode island and then she married a african man. his name was John Solomon, they had 5 sons (Edwin, Michael, Ralph, George & Stanley) they lived in brooklyn New York. I was told that she was disowned by her family because of her marriage to this african man. Anyway, I dont know much about his family, but he died before I was born. My grandmother (Mary Solomon) died in 1980, I was 15 years old then. My father was Ralph Solomon he died when I was 17. the only ones that are still alive in that family is Edwin (who is suffering with alzheimers disease) and Micheal (who is just a nut) Uncle micheal told me that one time they did meet the Mcgirls in Rhode island, but was not treated quite well, so they never went back. I would like to meet these people one day. Just to talk and get to know them as my grand mothers family. I would love to here their stories of the family history, and most of all I would just love to get to know them. if you have any info, please let me know. I think my grandmother would have loved that.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YWC.2ACI/4996 Message Board Post: My name is Don McGovern. This past week I found a website at Family Tree DNA. A man by the name of Joe Donohoe has organized a group called the "Breifni Clan" where he is requesting people (actually males) with surnames from the Breifni area of Ireland to submit DNA samples to Family Tree DNA. I am no expert on Breifni but it mainly comprises County Leitrim and Cavan. I am including a link to the website here: http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=T77392&special=true I requested a kit from Family Tree DNA and I am submitting my sample in the mail on Tuesday. It is very simple, the kit includes two sticks with schwabs at the end and two sample holders. You take the sticks with the schwabs and scrape the inside of your cheek in your mouth for a minute. Do the same with the second stick and schwab. The cost ranges from as low as $100 to $221 based on the number of DNA markers you test. The kit is sent back to Family Tree DNA and in a few weeks you get the results. If anyone else matches your results you will get notified of this. I am no expert on DNA so if you have any questions I would check out the website.If you have ancestors from the Leitrim or Cavan area I would encourage you to try this out. It sounds exciting. I have a couple of McGoverns from Leitrim I would like to submit a sample to see if we are related. Good luck in your search, Don McGovern my McGovern website: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/c/g/Donald-S-Mcgovern-OK/

What are the chances that someone could find for me the place in Leitrim where my ggrandmother Anne Shanley was born in 1847? Her parents were Patrick Shanley and Catherine O'Rourke also of Leitrim. I have only 17 days before I return to Ireland again. This time accompanied by my daughter who would love to see exactly where some of her mother's paternal ancestors were from. I have been searching online for a few years to no avail. I still work full time and do not have time to really get into it. I guess I should pay a professional to do this, but from what I have read on line, I do not know how to find a good one. Any suggestions? Thanks. A. O'Connor
