Could you tell us more of the history? As in pre-and post famine..

Are there French Irish Pavee? Some of my Irish ancestry is originally French..Devery..and I believe Lyons might be originally too.

Are there other nationalities who somehow came to Ireland? Or did Pavee travel to other countries to live or work? Are they related to Basques by any chance? I am interested in some Irish names turning up in places like Poland and Russia in the 1800s..I wonder if some got to those places during the famine. mg
