Flight of the Wild Geese...

I am in, anyone else ?

I don't think I have any connections "yet" but I am following for now.

Great job you all are doing!
Have no Irish family (I think) but I follow, and when and if I can contribute, but for now enjoy following your project. :-)

Col. Charles O Ceallaigh server the colours of Spain with a Reg of 2000 men. He returned to Ireland and took part in the Battle of Aughrim on 22nd July 1691.
His book " The Destruction of Cyprus" or " Macarie Excidium"is the only book written about the Jacobite war from an Irish point of view. I would love to hear if anything turns up on this committed Irishman.
The Kelly Clan Association, through our DNA project are trying to connect with long lost family, and are making some progress.

I found his profile, Private User. The 9th Lord of Screen? Any idea whether he was born abroad?

Sound very interesting. I know quite a few O'Sullivans left Ireland to save their families from getting killed. Or the English killed most and they wanted to save their own lives and be able to tell their tales to spread the word. Either Spain or France . Not sure.

He was born in Ireland. His mother was Isma, a Dau. of Sir Wm Hill of Carlow. He was educated in St. Omer in the Netherlands, that's most likely where the Spanish connection came from.

Lisa, now we have to find out, don't we? :-)
Private User just added Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare, Prince of Beare, 1st Count of Berehaven to the tree. Given the time frame, he must have been part of the Flight of the Earls. More to dig :-)

In some way I am related. I have not yet gotten that far but my maiden name is Sullivan and my 3rd Great Grandpa Hugh Sullivan emigrated from Kerry, Ireland. I am only as far back as the late 1700's on my Sullivan family tree but they all seem to be from Cork or Kerry.
