Ó Dea Clan Database

             A searchable database for O'Dea genealogy is underway, compiled initially from data submitted on line in 2000 and files in the O'Dea Clan Archives in Ennis, supplemented by articles published in the O'Dea Clan Chronicle since 1991.  The database is not currently searchable on line, but we hope to have on line access in the future.  Meanwhile, members of the O'Dea Clan Association or any visitor to this website may request that the Clan Genealogist search the database on their behalf.

            We welcome additional data from all sources for the O'Dea Clan Database. Those who have used a genealogy program to organize their family history are invited to add to the database by submitting a family file in universally readable genealogical format (GEDCOM) electronically to odeaclan@odeaclan.org or by mail on computer disk or CD to

All data to be included in the master O'Dea Clan Database should be accompanied by a release granting permission to the Dysert O'Dea Clan Association and the Clare County Libraries to make the information available to the public.
