@MarieMCole Not all middle names have been transcribed. My father Padraic Hanri Mac Piarais Ó Bhaldraithe is indexed as plain Padraic Ó Bhaldraithe

Very sad to discover that @ClareCoCo are about to demolish the last upright mud house at Tullaroe near Querrin outside #Kilkee. Needless destruction of our built heritage @AnTaisce @IGSLimerick @DeptHousingIRL @CathalCroweTD @RoisinGarvey @DarraghOBrienTD @EamonRyan @pjmwaldron

@FearStairLmk @tait_clodagh Not familiar with those, but happy to have a look. I'll be in Mary I on Thursday afternoon.

@AlanEnglish9 Better value even on the National Lottery: Prize Payout 62.20% on All Cash scratch cards: https://t.co/UlPWNdshFO
Will the Gambling Bill currently crawling through the Oireachtas stop this sort of rip-off?

[Paddy Waldron @pjmwaldron]

@AlanEnglish9 Caitríona Ní Chatháin and Colm Ó Móráin are listed at

- by coincidence the only two candidates with Irish-language names.

[Paddy Waldron @pjmwaldron]

@AlanEnglish9 Even with two missing candidates, the total percentage implicit in these odds is over 169%, equivalent to a payout rate of 59.03%.
Much better value to found on the Grand National - Total SP only 137% this year: https://t.co/URVqGLWG1D

@DiannLaros46174 @cbgenealogy @dnapainter @IGRS_1936 I did. Now to find time to edit and upload to YouTube!

[Paddy Waldron @pjmwaldron]

@dnapainter @cbgenealogy @IGRS_1936 WATO just cracked another adoption search, going back decades. But this one is so extraordinary that I dare not say anything more on Twitter!

@cheapsellotape @DIB_RIA @internetarchive There is a difference of opinion over his mother's first name: Mary in the DIB, Kate at https://t.co/Cp4nPzYS8Y.
The record of his baptism on 14 May 1854 supports the latter:

@MsFrugalone An X-DNA comparison between a descendant of the 8yo and a relative of his supposed "father" yielded a 49cM match.

But X-DNA does not pass from father to son! Clearly it went from father to daughter to grandson.

[Paddy Waldron @pjmwaldron]

@MsFrugalone A 48yo wife in the 1911 census with 12 living children aged down to 8, 6 and 4 didn't initially raise any red flags.

The 8yo son went on to marry twice, with no father named on either cert.
