THERE IS A TRUE WISDOM WHEN DISCOVERING YOUR PAST.

The Talbot surname first came to notice when a Richard Talbott was recorded in the Doomsday Book of 1086. The manuscript recorded much of England and part of Wales in the 11th Century by the command of King William - the Conqueror.  Written in medieval Latin, it was abbreviated. Its main purpose was to determine what taxes had been owed during the reign of King Edward the Confessor. This allowed William to assert his rights as King.

An Irish family with the name of Talbot has held the earldom of Shrewsbury and Waterford since the 15th Century and they can trace their descent from Richard Talbott.

The Talbots of Malahide supported the Jacobite Rebellion. It is said that on the morning of the Battle of the Boyne, fought about 25 miles north of Malahide, fourteen Talbots sat down to breakfast at Malahide and all but one did not return from the battle.

Webmaster Michael James Talbot. ' I was inspired by Elizabeth 'Betty' O'Carroll née Talbot, who was born on 3rd October 1916 and a second cousin to my late father John Joe Talbot. I have researched my paternal family the TALBOT's   and the maternal side of family: the GOGGIN's ancestors for the last forty-one years more so those who had lived in Ireland, during the reign of Queen Victoria, 1837- 1901.'

Bill Bryson, author, wrote: '(Your) DNA is extremely stable. It can last for tens of thousands of years. It is nowadays what enables scientists to work out the anthropology of the very distance past.' 

Hence, says Michael Talbot, I sent a sample of my saliva for testing by a well-known company, I have a strong Irish heritage. Welsh and Scottish too.

Alas, there are some people who steal information and set up websites to sell on the information. The thing is and be aware of this, that the information they do sell is WRONG. They get it all mixed up.

However, if you are just passing through, trying to conduct your own research, on your Irish ancestors, then I invite you to go to USEFUL LINKS. Help yourself for they are FREE.

Do add any feedback on the 'Guest Book' which is always welcomed. It helps me to provide a good FREE service especially if you are a recently discovered cousin.
