We are a community of like-minded individuals, from all over the world, interested in the history and genealogy of our families and the surname itself, which has changed in many ways from the Gaelic Irish Ó Donnchadha. We aim to further our knowledge of the name, however spelt, and help people make connections.

There are two types of researcher for whom this site is designed. As a subscribing member you will have access to all the resources of the society and to every feature of this site. Our objective is to help you progress your family history research. You will also learn a great deal about the background to and history of our name.

As a guest researcher, for whom there is no subscription, you are able to navigate the entry pages of the features of site. You can only gain access, however, to limited detail. You can use the Message Forum. Help on research issues will be given if time allows, but members’ requirements will take priority.

Registration ensures that you are on the researcher database, and provides password protection. Both members and guests should input their research interests, as it is through knowledge of these that potentially valuable contacts can be made. For a researcher intending to join the society, registration or logging on leads to the Pay for Membership process. For guests it gives access to the Message Forum, and enables them to receive regular emails on society activities.

This site has been designed so that researchers can enter their own data direct onto the databases, subject only to the Society Administrator’s review. You are encouraged to do so
