My Butler family was from Clonmel, a short distance from Bansha. My brother has done Y-DNA and has DNA matches from Bansha. His results are on familytreedna.org, kit N70640.
John W. Possible (WILLIAM) Butler was married to Margaret Elizbeth Buckley in 1841 in the Catholic Church of the Annunication in Bansha, South Tipperary, Ireland. John W. Butler may have been born in County Clare as many of the Butler desendents in the Butler Tree have the middle name of St. Clare or Clare. John W. and Margaret had five girls all baptised in the church at Bansha. DNA results show that Margaret Elizebath Buckley was from the area around the village of Ballylanders in Limerick County wich is about 20 miles or so from the village of Bansha. The youngest daughter Bridget was born in 1851 and apparently died in Ireland, as the family came to the USA in 1853 and 1854 and she was not with the rest of the family. John W. came a year before the rest of the family and the four living daughters, his mother Mary Butler (B 1795), and his wife Margaret Buckley Butler entered the USA in 1854 and they settled in the area around Dunkirk, New York. He worked for the railroad and lived in Evans Township on the shore of Lake Erie. There is a good possibility that John W. had a older brother, a James Butler, who lived nearby in New York with his family.John W.. was transferred in 1860 with the railroad to Ohio where he retired and bought a small farm near Waukon, Iowa where is oldest daughter, Johanna Agnes Butler Baxter, lived with her husband Charlie Baxter and her children. John W. and Margaret had two sons, James Joseph Butler, John Butler, and one daughter Elizabeth (Bessie) Butler born in the USA. John W. and Margaret are buried near their farm in Union Prairie, Iowa across the road from the Irish Catholic Church. Picture of John W. Butler, but no picture of Margaret Elizabeth Buckley Butler.

I have tried to look on the familytreedna.org site and I already have my DNA on Ancestry DNA and 23 and Me and the family tree site wants me to have my DNA done and I really have had enough DNA with the two mentioned above. I have a feeling that Clonmel is a very good chance that we are related. I have been trying since 1998 to find out where John W. Butler and his wife Margaret Elizabeth Buckley Butler lived in the Bansha area with no luck at all. I had a gentleman get in touch with me relating to a 23 and Me DNA test saying we are 4th cousins. His mother is a Buckley and she was from the area near Bansha, Ballylanders. She lives i south eastern Tipperary and knows that her son who had his DNA tested, and we are a good match. I definitely am not a DNA expert. It would be nice if there was a way to see if our DNA was a close match. I found a lady in Australia who is a Butler from the area around Bansha and she has family that still live on Main Street in Bansha. I have contacted the priest at the church in Bansha and he said that there are Butler's that still go to church in Bansha. I just wish that they would have their DNA done with Ancestry DNA. They are taking DNA around the world at no charge and trying to connect clans of people that are kin. My name is Bernard St. Clare Butler, Jr. and I am 79 years old, and I live outside Nashville, Tennessee. My email address which I use for genealogy is stclareusa@hotmail.com I would like to hear from you about the Butler families in and around Bansha, Clonmel, and Ballylanders. Thank you, Bernie (Irish To The Core) 02-05-2023
