Hi Steven,
Congratulations on the web site. I have long been interested in my surname, as apart from my immediate family and cousins, I have very rarely come into contact with other Dowds.
Organising this website to benefit of your children is a great idea. My partner is about to give birth to our first child and I think this may be a fantastic site to introduce him/her to the Internet world, when the time comes.

Thank you for this site. My mother and her sisters are Dowds from New York. All were born in Manhatten to James H. Dowd and Georgiana Traxler Wilson. My grandfather left my mom and her sisters before the youngest was born. He remarried a lady from England. We would like to find his family and keep in touch. We believe he was born around 1920, was in the US airforce and died around 1962-63. |

I recieved this posting from a Jeremiah ODowd, normally I would redirect such posts to the forum, but the hunt for the village he is looking for seems more than just interesting, its almost mysterious, church spires rising from the waters, etc.

My name is Pamela Dowd DAlessandro. I live in North Carolina.
I am a direct descendent of OConnor ODowd who lived in Cootehill, Ireland, and left from Dublin in the early 1700s to come to America.
He landed in Wilmington and then settled in the Chatham County area in NC. He was an English Loyalist at that time.
Does anyone have any information on Cootehill Ireland?
Thanks, Pamd |

1) The original Dowd arms were similar to those shown at the heading of the website but in the lower quarter had a bunch of grapes. They were granted in 1574 to James ODowda of Castleconor. The crest was added for Tadhg Riabhach ODowde, son of Donal, being an armoured arm holding a spear (sometimes the crest appears wrongly as three ostrich plumes in green and yellow). Often the esquires helm is shown crowned with a coronet, with a torque [twisted wreath of green and gold cloth] beneath. The motto beneath the whole was: Virtus Ipsa Suis Firmissima Nititur Armis, Firmissima is sometimes misread as Eirissima.
2) The coat of arms shown at the heading of this website (but without the coronet) were granted to Donal ODowd of Ardnaglass Castle in 1608.
3) Totally dissimilar canting arms sometimes appear, commemorating Aodh and his four brothers. The shield bears five doves (dubh = dove) in quincunx, the helm bears the usual torque upon which is crest of a dove. The motto was Innocens ut Columba
