Good morning everyone, The longest genealogical link in history was determined in Cheddar, England, in 1997. A 9000 year old skeleton was found in a cave in Cheddar, England. A DNA sample was taken from this skeleton and nearby residents were tested to see if there was any link. A gentleman that lives only 1/2 mile from the site where the skeleton was found has been verified to be a kinsman.

Good morning everyone, If you are descended from an Irish family you have probably encountered names such as Augusteen, Christie, Colum, and Aylish or variations of these and other names like them. Sometimes we see a name that we haven't heard before and can't quite understand what we've deciphered from old documents. A reference to old Irish names would surely be handy in cases like this. AOL has made available a list of some of the more popular Irish names. Some of them have links to other pages that tell more about that individual name such as history, famous people with that name and other interesting items about that name. If you are interested in seeing this list of Irish Names you can find it at the following address: http://www.parenting.com/parenting/tools/babynamer/categories/eth_irish.html <A HREF="http://www.parenting.com/parenting/tools/babynamer/categories/eth_irish. html">Parenting.com - The Baby Namer</A> We hope you find this to be both entertaining and educational.
