Biography
Elsie Gorman is a member of the Indigenous Australians Team.
Elsie was featured in a Meet Our Members Post on the G2G Forum!
Elsie Gorman participated in the 2024 Locators Challenge.
I started with wikitree to preserve the family information gathered by my father, Noel. I am interested in One Name Studies and the Australian Convicts and First Settlers Project. I created a One name study for the surname Gorman, as I am interested in tracing the journey of our name across the world. You can find it at Gorman Name study.

| My Irish origins |
The McDonald heritage links to Australia's first Saint, Mother Mary McKillop through multiple connections. We are double descended from Angus Mor McDonald via both Donald and Catherine. Angus Mor is the brother of Donald Drochaid, who is Mother Mary's maternal grandfather.
So far I have identified a few ancestors up to the tenth generation. In each generation I have identified:

- ↑ The Clan Donald DNA site says "The “Neill” line belongs to the signature 13-25-14-11-11-13-12-12-12-13-14-29 which is strongly concentrated in northwestern Ireland. It is delineated by the SNP marker M222. It, like the purported Dalriadic line, is so large that though it bears a published academic imprimatur it clearly is far larger than just Niall descendants.[1]

Most Gormans in the world are completely unrelated to each other, and are actually derived from some other surname in relatively recent history. Gorman Lineage III though does appear to have borne the Gorman surname for quite a long time--many centuries

I was contacted a week ago by a Slaven in Scotland who has roots in Fintona, and thought he might be related to fightin' Frank. I dropped him a quick note but haven't heard back-- probably has better things to do during the holidays!
Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.
Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As we always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.
Thank you for being a Wikitreer,
Guy Constantineau - Wikitree leader
I added images for Edward Flood the politician which has your contact on it. I noticed we had possible connections according to wikitree.
Queen E II and Vaclav Z Cechy Wenceslas, (Václav the Good or Saint Wenceslaus was the duke (kníe) of Bohemia). I tried the 'connections' thing and it said:
"No Connection Found ... Yet Sorry, no connection was found between Elsie and Edmond out to 10 steps. There is one, it's just not on WikiTree yet. Please help grow the family connections of Elsie and Edmond until they meet.
I'd like to invite you to join in the "Weekend Chat" on G2G Today!
Share personal successes, stories about ancestors, tips, projects you are working on, or anything else you wish.
New members stop in and say Hello, introduce yourself, share your story, or ask for help.
