Are you the original chalkies shorts who posted on here before?
Yep, who the fuck would want to pretend to be me?
I've traced my lot back to early / mid 1800's. Irish records are a bit patchy but genealogy.ie is a brilliant site. My dads side basically stayed in Meenganaire near Castleisland in Kerry. My mums lot either stayed in Gortglass near Castleisalnd or fucked off to America. They did like to all shag each other, its a miracle I haven't got 6 fingers. Its fair to say its a very Republican background
I've got some of my wifes lot back to 1700s using parish records. She has a streak of scummery with some ancestors based in Cowley, Just found one of her great grandfathers x4 was deported to Australia for 15 years.
I've used Ancestry and whereas being able to view other people's trees can be good, some people just put any old shit down.
Its definitely keeping me occupied while I can do fuck all little else.
