I'm in a general Irish, a County Kerry, a County Cork, and Scotland. I've had "hits" on all the groups, but we've only been able to figure out the connection once, in the County Kerry group. And as it turned out, I actually already had her in my Ancestry tree anyway, so it wasn't really new information so much as confirming that my tree was accurate. I keep checking in on the others, though, hoping to figure out connections some how, some day.
I didn't know there was one for Germany. Off to find it!
There is an Irish Surname registry group that is pretty good too. It's not 100% matchbox so there are more discussions then just posting matchox matches. I haven't found anything of value, but maybe one day something will come up in all these groups I'm a member of.
