I believe my 4x great-grandmother is Eleanor "Nelly" McCormick b.c. 1780 m. John Hassen (Hassen, Hassan, Hafsen, O hOsain, Hassett) b.c.1780.  I did have a document, which seems to have disappeared from my Ancestry documents, that Nelly McCormick m. John Hafsen (Hassen) on 16 May 1795 in Collinstown, Westmeath.

I do have the baptism document for Ann Hassen, born to Nelly McCormick & John Hassen in Clonmellon Parish, Westmeath, on 12 Mar 1803.  I have a total of 7 children for Nelly & John Hassen: Peter, Phelim "Felix," Hubert "Hugh," John 1801-1805, Ann, John 1805 Westmeath - 1881 USA, & Thomas.  Though there are Hassetts in this area of NY, we have yet to find any DNA matches to our Hassetts.  I'm hoping to verify McCormick ancestry.  

Son John Hassett (Hassen, Hassan, etc) b. Dec 1805 Brownstown, Castletowndelvin, Westmeath, Ireland - Clonmellon RC Parish, Co. Westmeath & Meath m. Catharine Battersby b.1803 Co. Meath.  There are several John Hassetts born about the same time illegitimately by a John Hassett(s) with various mothers hence I'm not sure.  We would very much like to find a DNA match for proof.  I & my relatives are tested on Ancestry & FTDNA, & I, & some of us are on GEDmatch.  Thanks. 
 

I would love to find out if my Cormick/McCormicks are related too. My ggg grandmother was a Cormick who would have been born around 1805. She married Fox and they had a daughter Anna in 1827.

He looks very similar to my Great Great Grandfather who was born in Westmeath circa 1837 - 1839. His name was Joseph John McCormack and he was married to Sarah Hughes. They lived in Kilbeggan . I cannot see how I can attach a photograph, but I wonder if they were brothers?

Lilly, I've seen the name for the same family/person as McCormick/ Cormick/ McCormack/ Cormack. Anything is possible. I have quite a bunch of DNA matches in Australia! Barnes is one, I believe. My 2x great-grandmother Mary Hassett was very obese (sometimes an emotional response to living a time without adequate food). I've seen pictures of another woman in Australia whose surname was Hassett and I thought she looked just like her, but the woman who owned the picture was insistent that they didn't look alike. I felt she was being quite defensive for unknown reasons. The local McCormicks here in Upstate NY have a very good tree but it begins when they enter the US. I apologize, I don't have time to look it up right now because I have to leave for a college class across town in a very few minutes. I think the name of the eldest in this tree was John but I need to verify that. Thanks for keeping up the research! Lizzy

The only way to find out if there is a relationship in our families is DNA testing.  I am tested on Ancestry, FTDNA, 23&me, Geneanet, and am registered on GEDmatch - A462726.  If you aren't tested, do test!  Contact  me if you want to compare our DNA properly.  I use a pseudonym here.  

The nearby McCormicks locally - I've worked their tree back to Patrick McCormick 1808 Collinstown, Co Westmeath - 1873 Genesee County, NY, USA married Margaret "Peggy" Hughes
c.1820 Ireland - 1870 Genesee County, NY.

They had 8 children, born in Ireland I believe: Felix, Anna, Thomas, John James Sr., Mary Ruth, Elizabeth "Betsey," Margaret "Maggie," and Ellen "Nelly," (same as my possible ancestor, but a generation or 2 closer).  John James Sr. is the line which remained locally at present, & may be a cousin of my 2x great-grandmother Mary Hassett Moore whose family also settled in Genesee County and would have attended the same Catholic parish.  Cheers to all!
