    Hello, I am trying to find some relatives of mine, who would be descendants from the Mannix Family of Cloustogue, Doneraile, Co Cork : Dennis Mannix (1844-1892) and Ellen Murphy (1841-1925)

    Their children were
    Mary Mannix, 17 Oct 1869
    Daniel Mannix, 7 Jul 1872 married Catherine Ives in 1921 in Mallow
    Hannah Mannix, 12 Apr 1875 married Edward Harrington in USA
    Edmond Mannix, 14 Oct 1877
    Catherine Mannix, 29 Sep 1878
    Ellen Mannix, 29 Sep 1878
    Margaret Mannix, 23 May 1881
    Bridget Mannix, 10 Oct 1884
    Agnes Mannix abt 1887 emigrated to USA

    In particular I am trying to find out if any of them ended up in Dublin. (I'm a dub myself, and am trying to work out which of them I am related to. Thanks for any information.

    Did you post in a Dun Laoghaire Facebook group or is this just some mad coincidence?

    Yes, that is me. I am trying to establish if there is a link between them (The Mannix family from Cloustogue and a Mannix family in Dun Laoghaire).

    Think of the maths. Given that the mean length of 'a generation' as c.25 years, there has been enough time for 5-6 generations from the dates you listed above. That means that any of those people listed who had children would be the great-great-great-great-grandparents of potentially thousands (given the large nature of Irish families up until the 1970s) of direct descendants.

    Each of those descendants could trace their pedigree back to either 32 or 64 ancestors of that era in the 'Mannix' line. And each of those ancestors would only be half the story.

    Short answer: You're probably related to all of them.

    Irrelevant aside: Family trees are funny.
