Hello Irish Cousins,
My great great great grandparents, John ALLEN and Mary PLUNKETT had at least one of their children (Catherine, bapt. 1859) baptized in this parish. They might have moved around a bit, as other children were baptized in other nearby parishes. This is assuming they are the same people (however, they do match some of the children I have recorded for them after they came to the U.S.)
They came to the U.S. abt. 1865 and by 1870 had settled in Tioga County, NY and remained there until their deaths.
It would be SO cool to find a relative from this family still residing in that area!

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.
