About us

A note from the administrator:

My aim in starting this project is to identify family connections between the inhabitants of Moyriesk and Rathclooney, through the use of DNA.  

Where possible, I document direct ancestral lines of project members on Wikitree, a free family website (deceased ancestors only). 

Connections to the townlands of Moyriesk and Rathclooney can be found in the following Wikitree categories.  Please note that Moyriesk townland appeared in Griffiths Valuation under two parishes, Clooney and Doora.
