Hi there - good to hear from you.
I have done a dna test with FtDna, as has my brother. Margaret Tynan was my GGG grandmother, so we are getting a wee way back so I hope it will show on dna.
It would be great to make some sort of headway with my people as I have been banging my head.
My test kit on Ftdna in 233326, brother's is 310171, both Driscolls.
I have been to Ballycahill, and Holycross where the records are recorded.....but the priest was unwell and could not let me into see the registers to get the town land part of the record, but there were only Tynans in Newtown, Moneydass, and Ballynahow town lands of Ballycahill parish. I suspect they were in Newtown and all left the area for Australia and America. I found a brother in Victoria, Australia, but none of the others.....yet.
Margaret married a Ryan......and that does not help matters at all!
I visited the Ryan's who are currently on the property that the Tynan's had a house on. It had been pulled down as it was a ruin. The photographs of their family were eerily like mine.
Margaret has been a bit of an enigma and I am keen to find out anything about the Tynan's of this area.
kindest regards
Kerry Driscoll
