Who were these people and where were they from? County Cork, maybe? Joseph Allen (b abt 1814) and wife Catherine (b abt 1822, maiden name unknown) were both born somewhere in Ireland. Their 2 children were also born in Ireland: Bernard Allen born abt 1848 and Catherine Allen born abt 1849. My great grandmother Catherine married John T Myers (also from Ireland). Both the Allens and the Myers settled in the Minneapolis/St Paul area of Minnesota in the 1870s. I believe Catherine met and married John Myers in Minnesota. Knowing so little about these important people in my past has left a pretty big hole in my search. Any help, information and insights would be welcome.

    I am interested in the surname Allen in Ireland, please see the below information and reply if you or someone you know would have interest in participating.

     

    The ALLEN y-DNA Project & The ALLEN Guild of One Name Studies

     

     

    The Allen DNA Project is partnering with the Allen Guild of One Name Studies in an exciting new Research Endeavor. The Allen DNA Project is a USA based group, but is very interested in expanding our membership to a world-wide audience by actively seeking out Allens from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Mainland Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or anywhere else on the planet. Additionally, any spelling variation of the Allen surname is welcome: Allan, Allyn, Allin, etc.

     

    To this point, FREE yDNA 12 marker tests will be made available to any males carrying the Allen surname and residing outside the United States who are willing to join the project and participate in the testing. This involves no blood or needles, only a cotton swab rubbed on the inner cheek.

     

    The only requirement for a free yDNA test is a known Allen/Allan (any spelling) lineage to at least the participant’s Great Grandfather Allen/Allan (any spelling) in any country. Additionally, The Allen DNA Project is setting aside a specific Sub-group within the Project with a full commitment of assistance from Allen Project Co-Administrator Dr. Eric Allen who will be overseeing this specific International Sub-group.
