All eight of my great-grandparents emigrated from Ireland in the mid-19th century and ended up in Chicago IL. I’ve tried for years to pin down each of their birthplaces, but so far am confident only of three. Based on DNA, family memory and Irish records, I am certain that my maternal great-grandmother (Ellen Burns née Healy) was born in Boulintlea, Parish Ballingarry Co Tipperary. I’m also confident that a paternal great grandmother (Bridget Gertrude Murray, née Dougherty) was born in Culleens, Kilglass Parish, Co Sligo. Finally, a DNA link to a better-documented family strongly suggests that paternal Sullivan ancestors came from Kilcrohane on the Sheepshead Peninsula, West Cork. I ‘ve carefully researched (and visited) these places, and am happy to share information.

My name is John Kingman. I am a Coordinator with the WikiTree DNA Project.
Since you have started following a DNA tag, you may be interested in how you can use DNA test matches with your relatives to strengthen your genealogy on WikiTree. You will find the answers in the Help pages, of which the DNA Help category page shows all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started with DNA page is highlighted. Also the DNA Features page can show you various ways that DNA tests can work with your genealogy.
You may see some relatives show up in your list of "DNA Connections" on your profile if they have added a DNA test to their profile. These DNA Connections are possible DNA test matches, they are not sufficient for marking parental relationships as "confirmed with DNA" without providing a DNA Confirmation source citation providing details of an acceptable DNA match. You may find that you have acceptable matches with some of them. There is more information about DNA Connections on the DNA Test Connections page.
When you are ready to start documenting that your genealogy sources are confirmed by DNA test matches, be sure to follow the guidance at the Confirmed with DNA help page. Also, I strongly recommend using the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker, for creating and/or validating your DNA confirmation source citations. Note that a profile should not be marked "confirmed with DNA" without source citations for both genealogy and relevant DNA test matches.
If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to ask on the G2G Forum using the Tag "DNA" and/or "DNA_Confirmation".
Happy WikiTree-ing!
