My Irish Ancestors

  • Nov. 4th, 2007 at 12:54 PM
Dragons, Winter
On my Mothers side of the family we have some Irish Ancestors. However as my mother was adopted out of that family, we don't know very much. So far we have only a family name to go on. That family name is "Hoback." We also have some Scottish Ancestors on that same side of the family, and their family name is "McCann"

If anyone knows anything about these family names that they could share with me, I would love to hear what they have to share. As it stands now, my father is working on Geneological records for all sides of the family, and he is going to share what he finds out about these ancestors with me as soon as he finds anything out. So I look forward to what he learns.

Hopefully one day I can get in touch with my living Celtic Relatives! That would be so cool ^.^

there is a little note that says Hoback may also be a German name... so whether it is German or Irish, I am not really sure. But suffice to say I have Celtic Ancestors from the McCann side of the family, and it is entirely possible that they are Irish... not Scottish, because as far as I can find the only McCann's are Irish.

Hun, I have been on a search to find my family history for years. It's an ongoing process that takes a lot of time and energy. But it's worth it in my opinion.

I'm still trying to find where exactly in Ireland my family came from, but I'm sure I'll find it eventually.

Aye, but like I said... takes time and energy and when I have it I'm all in it, but there are times when looking at the name over and over again just feels fruitless.

Which is why I am glad I have my father... he seems to be on a Geneology Addiction as of late. So I am hoping through our combined efforts (his and mine) we can find something out about these ancestors relatively quickly.

You never know... I had a distant cousin do research on my family... I've got a copy of that.. but it stops where they came over from Ireland, before Ellis Island was the main port...

Tis kinda hard that far back. *sigh*
