Association of O'Dochartaigh's Genealogy and DNA Trees

Our genealogy and DNA website is a free to members, private website that hosts the family trees donated to the Association of O'Dochartaigh's. The database is searchable and contains both Genealogical and Y-DNA information.

Our Association website expenses are paid by our 501(c)3 non-profit association. Periodically, we will do fundraising to meet our goals including direct appeals as well as selling merchandise specifically connected to our Clann. This association accepts donations and does not have dues or user fees. Click the DONATE link if you would like to make a tax deductible donation.

Send us a GEDCOM with your O’Dochartaigh genealogy and help us create a large searchable database. The individual trees are kept separate on the website, yet the powerful search engine can search them all at once. Once uploaded, no access to change the data is available. We ask submitters to include their entire O’Dochartaigh tree in the GEDCOM’s, so that our website will have the information on the trees including the living people. This will help us verify who the trees belong to from an administrative point of view. Only information about deceased persons will be displayed. Even if we receive GEDCOM’s containing information about living individuals, the TNG software is sophisticated enough to only display information on the deceased persons. In addition, by submitting your GEDCOM to our website, we will be creating an “off site” storage backup for you of your family history data. We can easily return a copy of your GEDCOM to you at any time. We don’t need your entire database, unless it is all O’Dochartaigh descent. One submitter has over 120K people in her genealogy database, so she sent us just the families and their descendants that have an O’Dochartaigh connection. How this was done - Using Legacy as a software, go to the oldest O’Dochartaigh ancestor who was either born, died or married in your family tree and custom tag all their descendants using one of the 9 tags available in the software. Then export a GEDCOM of all those tagged that number. When you create your GEDCOM and have decided to include information on living persons, please don’t select the “suppress details for the Living” or “replace name with LIVING” options. It is more efficient to have the full details in the GEDCOM’s when we are checking them for errors before posting your tree on our website.
