Hi Everyone,

I am researching my Irish ancestors. The last name is Dorney. I can't get past my great-grandfather, James Edward Dorney...He was born in Ireland. Co. Cork I believe...although I'm not sure. I found some really great links that have helped me tremendously. I hope someone gets lucky and finds something useful. I am fairly new at this and am learning everyday. If anyone has any tips...email them to me and I will post them on this sight. Happy hunting!!
