News
The big news is that we will be holding the 2024 Gathering in Prince Edward Island in Canada, between June 20th and 23rd. PEI has very strong Monaghan links, and very many Tr*n*rs settled there in the nineteenth century. Many of those families subsequently moved on to other parts of north America, and accordingly, it is a great location for the next gathering, and to pre-register, click here to register. The event has an upper limit of 350 attendees, and as of November 2023, there are already 200 persons registered.
The fourth volume of our ongoing book project, Roots and Wings, was published online in October 2023, and it can be accessed here, along with volumes 1, 2 & 3. There are some great stories here, from three generations in a public house, to the insouciant behaviour of Thomas Traynor, a wandering minstrel, and the mystery of a killing in nineteenth century Ireland to the mystery of a valentine’s card from eighteenth century America. If you have a story to tell, please contact any member of the editorial committee.
Noel Murphy of Castleshane is an experienced radio documentary maker, and is working on the story of the Treinfhir Clan, entitled ‘The Strong Ones’. He has many brilliant interviews and stories in full on his patreon site. Members of the clan can exclusively access all his documentaries here at the lowest cost, just contact ourselves for the requisite password.

UNREGISTERED USERS: Enjoy our site and consider registering to be able to see some of the more interesting pages. We have some information that deserves some protection, so it is hidden unless you are logged in. You will be able to access information on ancestry, history, origin, genealogy, and information about our name. You can also see a list of members, with email address and hometown, so that you might contact them if you’re travelling in the area. We have a separate signup for that, as not everyone wants to be on that list. You may also receive your own @treinfhir.org email address if you would like. You will never see advertising on this site, as we are not trying to make money here. Even this pitch and the form below will not show once you are logged in.
Please use the form below to register. Spam and robot registrations have been flooding this site so we cannot use an automatic registration process. When you submit this, the form will be emailed to the site administrator. The system ([email protected]) will email you an invitation to change your password (please check trash). Username and email must both be different than any other member’s. I will follow up with a quick email myself. This is only needed if you are not already a member. Thank you very much!

The image at top is a section of The Domhnach Airgid (silver church), which is an ornate shrine, fashioned out of silver and bronze that was intended to hold a sacred text. The Domhnach Airgid was reputed to have been given to St. Macartan (the first of our Clan). It is said to be one of Ireland’s most prized possessions and is housed in the National Museum of Ireland.
