My name is Margaret Jordan and I am a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists of Ireland (APGI), Irish Genealogical Society, the Irish Family History Society (IFHS), Cork Genealogical Society (CGS). I have been dealing with Cork Genealogy for many years. I started researching my own O’Shea family history in 1997 and since then I have researched many other surnames. especially in County Cork.
I am very interested in combining genealogy and genetic genealogy. However, many people think DNA will answer all their genealogical questions. DNA testing needs to be used in conjuntion with traditional methods i.e. a paper trail if one exists. If no paper trail exists, then DNA may be the only clue to ancestry that a person has and it can be a vital component in tracing family lines.
I am specially interested in the use of yDNA in tracing family surnames and I am co-administrator of two yDNA projects.

Hello Margaret,
I live in Stockton, California and am in need of some information about County Cork.
My 3rd great grandparents, Daniel Derondo Delaney and Ellen Collins, were supposed to have been married 4 December 1849 in Buttevant, County Cork, Ireland. In Daniel’s Civil War pension file he states that he and Ellen were married ” by a catholic priest”.
Could you please tell me what catholic churches are in Buttevant and where I might find a record of this marriage.
Thank you,
Sheri Fenley
