The Irish And Anglo-Irish Landed Gentry, When Cromwell Came to Ireland; or, A Supplement to Irish Pedigrees - John O'Hart. Reaching as far back in genealogical records as the second century AD, this weighty edition of Irish and Anglo-Irish pedigrees contains detailed family histories and a thirty-seven subject appendix with footnotes full of intriguing facts and anecdotes about the exploits of the earliest recorded natives of Ireland. The Irish ancestries of Allens, Arundells, Butlers, Crawfords, Fitzpatricks, Gladstones, Harts, O’Briens, O’Rourkes, O’Tooles, Parsons, Parnells, Sweneys, Warrens and many others have been collected from over fifty references, alphabetically arranged, and include (when applicable), a description of the family coat of arms. As the subtitle, “When Cromwell Came to Ireland,” suggests, the appendix deals with documents related to that most tragic time in Irish history including, Regicides of Charles I; Persons Transplanted in Ireland in 1653 and 1654; Inrolments [sic] of the Certificates for Adventurers, Soldiers, etc., in Ireland, in the Commonwealth Period; and, Purchasers of Estates forfeited in Ireland under the Williamite Confiscations. For those seeking family ties many of these records locate displaced Irishmen in other parts of the world, including some who came to America. For the historian, this “work of marvelous research and industry,” as a contemporary of the author’s called it, illuminates a time whose influence is still felt in the modern world and for the genealogist it may provide the link between families found in the old world and the new.

The research into the Mid Argyll Kinship Group picking up pace with the creation of the Mid Argyll Group DNA project. The project will collect DNA results from those men are in the group. The project is only open to men that are a paternal DNA match to the group, which is a Gaelic paternal kinship clan indigenous to mid Argyll. The project's goal is to research the Mid Argyll Kinship Group circa 1300 to late 1500s. . The geographic area of the study is the parish of Kilmichael Glassary and the immediate surrounding districts. The surnames in the group are Duncan, Gay, McGay, Gray, Henry, Henrie, McAlpin, McCain, McCane, McKane, McKain, McKean, McKeen, McDonald, and McLea. In Gaelic, Mac Donnchaidh, Mag Aodh, Glass, Mac Eanruig, Mac Ailpín, Mac Eáin, Mac Dónaill, and Mac an Leagha. Another surname of interest in the research are McLachlain (Mac Lachlainn) and the project is open to any male that is a high level DNA match to the group. The reason are so many surnames in the group is because surnames were not fixed in Argyll in the 1500s. Gaelic families often followed traditional patronymic customs of mid Argyll. This generated several surnames within the same family during that century. The surnames in this DNA match group were in use in Kilmichael Glassary in the 1500s. Most of these surnames appear in records connected to the Mac Lachlainn 'clan' of Dunadd. It is speculated that the Mid Argyll Kinship group is actually the Mac Lachlainn of Dunadd family. The families of the Mid Argyll Kinship Group played an important role in the history of Ulster. Many of the families in this kinship group migrated from mid Argyll to the Foyle River area from 1569-to the late 1590s. They were Redshank soldiers connected to the Ó Dónaill and Ó Neill clans. This project will have Dr Kyle MacLea as a co-administrator; he is a graduate of Dartmouth College and teaches at Linfield College, Portland, Oregon. Barry R McCain will be a co-administrator; he is a graduate of Ole Miss and is a writer living in Oxford, Mississippi. Mr McCain will working with the primary source research and Gaelic language elements. Link to Join the Mid Argyll Kinship Group DNA project: Mid Argyll Group
(Maps via the Daily Telegraph)In the early Fifth Century, the Romans left Britain permanently. This left the Britons vulnerable, so the Anglo-Saxon tribes invaded. The somewhat Romanized British peoples fought back, giving birth to the legend of King Arthur. But they were ultimately defeated and much of Great Britain fell under the rule of these Germanic nations.Then, in 1066, the Normans came and gradually ended Anglo-Saxon independence. It’s been almost a millennium since William the Bastard land...

O'Connell Street, Dublin, 1946. Note the intact Nelson's Pillar. Local historian and collector, Ken Finlay, has pointed out to me that this image illustrates the impact that wartime rationing, in this case of petrol, had on Ireland. The array of bicycles pictured reflects the reliance people had on them when they could no longer source petrol for private vehicles and indeed public transport. While this photo was taken post-war, rationing in Ireland did not end until 1951. This page has more information on rationing and includes examples of ration coupons. Grafton Street, Dublin, 1946.

It feels like it might be either Westmoreland Street or Dawson Street but those are just guesses. If anybody knows please comment. Edited to add: @noflashingneon on the auld twitter has identified it as Westland Row, beneath the Railway Bridge.
