A Geo-Genealogy of Irish Surnames

I haven't been very good about posting lately - too busy working in the garden this summer! The potato harvest was my best yet, and some of my potatoes even went to the State Fair this year :-) I will be posting more regularly with notes from our April/May 2013 trip to Ireland, so please do check back occasionally or sign up for email updates. In the meantime, I wanted to share this fun website that allows you to search Ireland by county or by surname for your ancestors. I found some surprises! I'm mailing in my AncestryDNA kit today, too, so we'll see what surprises those results bring! http://storymaps.esri.com/stories/ireland/
