My father was born in Fresno‚ CA (we think in the city‚ but I don’t know the hospital‚ so it might be Fresno County instead of the city) on May 3‚ 1966. He was full-term. We were told that his father is Irish from Cork‚ and that his mother is half-Irish‚ half-French. He recently got DNA results back that imply that one parent is nearly fully Irish from the Munster region (of which Cork is a part) and the other one is nearly fully of "English & Northwestern European" ancestry (a region that overflows into France‚ including the region of Normandy). The fully Irish parent (we thought the father‚ maybe‚ based on what we were initially told?) also shows connections to what Ancestry calls the "Iowa‚ Nebraska‚ South Dakota & Minnesota Border Settlers" (part of the "Upper Midwest Settlers") and the "Eastern Ohio River Valley & Northern Blue Ridge Mountains Settlers" communities. Some common family names in the family trees of the DNA matches on the Irish parent’s side include: Mullarkey‚ Delaney‚ Mcnamara‚ Keane‚ Kilgariff‚ Brannan‚ Norton‚ Delong‚* Baker‚ and Bartlett. The primarily English & Northwestern European parent shows connections to what Ancestry calls the "Midwest Farmlands Settlers" (part of the "Delaware Valley‚ Chesapeake & Midwest Settlers") and the "Southern Midwestern Settlers" communities. As noted above‚ the English & Northwestern Europe region overflows into parts of France (including the Normandy region)‚ so this may still match up somewhat with what we were told about his mother. Some common family names in the family trees of the DNA matches on the English parent’s side include: Davis‚ Bowers‚ Crossman‚ Adams‚ Bennet‚ Bowlds‚ Dishman‚ Wilson‚ Adriaen‚ and Allen. Some time back‚ I found a potential record for a baby boy born in Fresno‚ California on the same day as my dad. The mother’s surname is Delong (a Norman French name) and the father’s surname is Callahan (an Irish name). Delong shows up as a surname on the family tree of one (or more) of my father’s relatives on the side of the Irish parent. This could mean there’s a mix-up in the info we were told regarding which parent is the Irish one‚ and it’s actually the mother. It could also mean that she married the father and was placed on a match’s family tree with her maiden name.
