Henry Green(e) Barry

Hi Robin, I have contacted a local volunteer whom I hope can be of some assistance.

Thank you!!!!!  Very much appreciate any and all efforts.

Hi Rkaucla,   you say Y,DNA shows direct line back to him.

Found him  on Wiki Tree, just as you wrote.

 It says he died in 1838  in Bllyclough House Co Cork.   goes on to say he retired in  1824 with the rank of Major General  He  went on to become  High  sheriff of Co Cork.  

It should be possible to find Obituary for him on The Freemans Journal, it would give list of relatives.

With regard to finding relatives via DNA,  not a lot of people  have  Y,DNA done, have you tried Autosumnal DNA  as well its very popular, and finds relatives. for those who are interested.

Let me know what you think, and if you  have any questions

Best of luck.

Christina, Irelandxo Volunteer,.

Thanks for your note.  I am female so it's actually my brother's Y DNA that shows the direct line.  I have done the autosomal and yes, we have found some connections however we're just at a roadblock as to who the male offspring of Henry Green Barry's sons (there were 5 of them).  My autosomal shows the link the Phoebe Drought (the wife of Henry Green Barry).

Based on your suggestion I will check the Freemans Journal,  We do belong to the Barry Project on FTDNA and they have been extremely helpful in assisting me...just no luck yet establishing the male offspring.  We do know that Redmond Barry (emigrated to Australia) had a son however our DNA shows Redmond is not the direct ancestor.  It was one of his brothers.

Thank you again.  Hoping that something pops up soon.

Robin
