1. Re: [Irish-American] Nordic Ireland - trigger finger / VIKING ORIGINS OF THE NORMAN IRISH [1]
Hi MaryPat, That's a very good point. The De Burgo family is a branch of the Normans who were originally Danes who went viking. ('Viking' was originally a verb for exactly what Vikings used to do - go off, go lawless, gop raiding, go bad.) Here's the scoop on the Normans: In 865, a huge horde or "Great Army" (as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle puts it) of Danish Vikings, who were already used to sacking towns and villages in both England and France, occupied East Anglia. In 867, they destroyed Northumbria.
2. Re: [Irish-American] Nordic Ireland - trigger finger [1]
Well, since I originally posted the "trigger finger" info, I have learned much from the List comments. I especially found the "toe" comments interesting, since my father, besides his finger, has hammer toes. I wonder if this was actually the same condition. I certainly intend to check for Dupytrens Contracture. As my sixth decade is approaching, so far I seem to be unaffected by it. It is great to know that I will not have to have surgery, nor will our children. Thanks for all the additional info and

4. Re: [Irish-American] Nordic Ireland [1]
I have been watching this thread with most interest and find it all so fascinating. Only because the topic of the 'trigger-finger' came up. My paternal grandmother had the same affliction. Her father was from Claremorris County Mayo, and her mother from Bekan Parish. She was black haired and brown-eyed, but with fair skin and freckles. I am fair, but redheaded and with green eyes(from my maternal grandmother from East Galway). But what caught my attention was the 'trigger-finger'! My paterna
5. LOTS OF CELTIC TRIBES IN IRELAND WITH DIFFERENT PHENOTYPES [1]
Hello all, Sorry to say the Spanish who did not drown were wiped out when they got to the beach, except for a small number of Dons who were ransomed by the English and a very small group (about 30) who escaped with Irish help to Scotland. This tragedy is all well-documented. Pleased to say that the documentation for the 'black Irish' in Irish records goes back more than 800 years before the Armada. These are the Fir Bolg or Belgii. The Celtic Irish descend from several different Celtic tribes who dif

7. Re: [Irish-American] Nordic Ireland [1]
If I place my hands together, palms facing me, w/ the two little fingers touching side -by-side, I can see a very distinct "V" opening at the tops (last joint) of these little fingers. Does this indicate that I came from a line of Viking stock Hi Mike, Me too .......Who knows need more learned people than me to settle this one .. Amazing what we find along with our ancestors ..

Congratulations Michael, your version is so correct, I was wondering just what was going on when I read the first posting, here in Australia, it is sung at weddings as the bride and groom leave the reception as a sign of them leaving their former families and go forth together as a new family, also at New Years Eve to say goodbye to the last year and all that happened in it.

12. Re: [Irish-American] LOTS OF CELTIC TRIBES IN IRELAND WITH DIFFERENT PHENOTYPES [1]
Dear Susan, Wow! That is really great! It's possible to identify the Celtic tribes to which many Irish families belong, and then in a few cases like the S Gormain (Gorman) family identify when those tribes got to Ireland and where they came from. Can you tell me what surname most likely represents that DNA and perhaps what tribe? Or is it possible to post the research to the list so we can all look at it? That would be great.

I believe the condition which effects fingers and palms of hands can also effect toes and arches of the feet, namely the fascia. Please check Google for Dupytrens Contracture.

Dan, Your email "tone" was fine. I remember my father mentioning that (unmentionable phrase ) when I was little, and wondering what it meant. Myths are myths but the facts are great. Thanks for sharing. Just want to mention how much I've enjoyed finding your family in Ireland with you, through your postings. Awesome!! Exciting and inspiring. I'm happy for you. Sheila

18. Children's Aid Society, NYC -- Orphan Trains (BRACE, BRADY, BURKE, HUGHES) [1]
SNIPPET: One Protestant institution that drew the loudest condemnation from the Catholic clergy was the Children's Aid Society in New York City. Founded in 1853 by Charles Loring BRACE, the CAS was committed to saving children who were orphaned or living in unfit homes. The goal was to remove the children from the harmful environment of the slums and place them in the homes of respectable families. Starting in 1854 and running until 1929, the CAS sponsored so-called "orphan trains" that carried 250,000 chi

23. Re: [Irish-American] Orphan trains [1]
David--I was a little confused by your post. YOur grandfather was "farmed out" in 1876. Your ggrandmother kept her daughters. That's where I got lost. "The same happened to my to be grandmother and that is how they met." Was your grandmother form another "farmed outr" family? How did your grandmother and grandfather meet? this is really interesting to me because, well for a lot of reasons, but my husband's father had a brother who was "farmed out" c. 1910 in Canada. Mother had died i
24. Re: [Irish-American] Nordic Ireland [1]
I believe that what you all are talking about "trigger finger" etc. is really a medical condition called "Dupytren's contracture"., Know to be hereditary and prevalent in people of northern European heritage. My grandmother had it ( monaghan County) . I have it in both hands, although different fingers on each hand. This condition is unusual in people younger than 60. I have had it for about 10 years and I am 74. However i have 2 children in their fortys, one male and one female, who have i
