Hello,

My name is Stacy Jones and yes, I am an american but with a lot of Irish, Scottish, and Northwestern European DNA. About 91%.  

I recently foung out through ancestry.com that I am one of the ggg granddaughters of Laughlin Neil Grant and Bridget Murphy. Both came to America through Canada from County Armagh Ireland. I would like to know more about either one or the both. 

My mother's father was Donald Richard Grant. HIs father was Eugene Walter Grant. Eugene's parents were Frank A Grant and Kathryn A. Frank's parents were Laughlin and Bridget. I knew about Eugene when I started searching my ancestry in 2010 but he passed away many years before I was born after he and my great grandma divorced when my grandfather was a child. He was not around after that and so I had very little information to go on. Thankfully, I was able to do a DNA test last fall and that is how I was able to find the information i do know now.

Are there any relatives of Laughlin and Bridget on Ireland XO? If so, please contact me. I'd love to learn more about you and those we come from.

Thank you.

Stacy :)

  • I searched rootsireland for Laughlin & Bridget’s marriage but did not find it. Can you give us some dates as to when they may have been born or left Ireland? (You should hopefully be able to work that out from US or Canadian censuses or from death certificates.)
