Maybe you can still get some good last minute travel savings! We'll be waiting for you!

*** New Feature!! - Check out our newest addition: The Shamrock - the official e-newsletter of the international Clan O'Driscoll! Many thanks to our current Editor, Erin (Driscoll) Feaker of USA and our ongoing thanks to former editor, Natalie O'Driscoll of Australia, for starting us on our path!

We volunteers will try to keep things as up-to-date as possible by adding more links, pictures, profiles and Ó Driscoll genealogy information so please check back often!

Welcome one and all!

If, in your recent or distant past you have a blood or marriage connection to a Driscoll, O'Drisceoil, O'Driscoll or Driskell, then you are one of us - family! This is probably one of the most comforting words in the English language. For most of us it elicits a multitude of powerful emotions - a sense of belonging, home, love, and comfort.

It was in this spirit that an idea was born for this website. The hope is to create a network of the O'Driscoll Clan in North America. This includes not only everyone who can trace their family to someone with the Clan name, but those who have married into it as well. Welcome one and all.

Being among the fortunate who attend the annual O'Driscoll Clan Gathering we can honestly say the hospitality offered by our local "relations" in the small hamlet of Baltimore, County Cork leaves us with many warm memories to sustain us through the long months until we can return. We hope every Clan member from all over the world is able, at some point in their life, to participate in the annual event held the last weekend in June. It is well worth the trip.

In the meantime, we'll do our best to use this site as a starting point for putting together the links between the Driscolls across North America and thereby strengthen our family ties.

Start your journey with us by getting familiar with our current Clan Chieftain and checking out the O'Driscoll profile section.

Officially registered as a Clan: The O'Driscoll Clan is now officially registered with the Clans Of Ireland. Check out their site here to learn more about the organization and find our Clan in their registry.

Driscoll DNA Project: There is an active Driscoll DNA project going on so, for those who have arrived at a dead end in their Driscoll genealogical searches, you might want to participate and connect with others who are genetically from the same line as you. For more details about this worthwhile project please check here.
