i have found out that my ancestors were black irish who lived in bender tents in the woods in castlerae roscommon in the 1800s, ive spent years trying to go back and find out more about them but never seem to get any further, unless the reason is because they didnt register deaths births or marrages. i will never give up on this so if anyone has any information on this , i would be very interested, their name was hanley ohanley or haley.
