St. Gormgal in
Ardoilen
...Elsewhere he gives the following list of holy men
who rest with St. Gormgal in Ardoilen, viz. — Moelsuthun, Celechair, Dubthach,
Dunadach, Cellach, Tressach, Ultan,
Maelmartin, Coromach, and Conmach. The Four Masters recording the death of St.
Gormgal in Ardoilen in
1017, style him the chief Anmchara, sours friend or confessor, of all Ireland…

Ardoilen, or High
Island, is situated about six miles from the coast of Omey, Connemara, Co.
Galway.
Treasacháin
In the MacFirbis genealogies there is also some appearances of the name Treasachain. However,
it is not found in O'Brien CGH.
Wolfe stated that "The dim. O
Treasachain appears to have been in use in the midlands, but is probably
obsolete; at least, it has no distinct angl. form", but I have not found any other references to it
as a surname.
The English version of the name may be Tressan or Tressnan, found in the 1766 Religious Census in Cork.
The name of the townland of Artresnahan in the parish of Drummaul in Co. Antrim translates as Ard Treasacháin 'Treasachán's height'.
Nearby, there is the townland of Tirgracey,
Muckamore (Grange of), Antrim.

Cenel
Treisi (Moy Estuary, Co. Mayo)
Treisi or Tresi, was the daughter of Nad
Froich, King of Munster and founder of Cashel. Her brother was Oengus (†490/2 AD), the first Christian
king of Munster. She married Amalgaid, King of Connacht and bore him eight
sons. They lived at the Moy estuary, Co. Mayo.
Also stated in
the Tribes
of Ui Fiachrach
is Fearsad Tresi, where she drowned. It is located below the
Abbey of Rafan, parish of Killala, Barony of Tirawley, County
Mayo. There are two round stones on each side of the fearsad, or channel, to
point out its position. At the time the book was written, it is stated that this name is now
forgotten for centuries, and it is now called Fearsad Raith Bhrain or Fearsad
Ratha Branduibh.

Tribes of Ui Fiachrach
From Amhalgaidh,
the fourth son of Fiachra, are sprung the Hy- Amhalgaidh on the Muaidh, and the
Hy-Becon. This Amhalgaidh had a large family, namely; Fedhlim, Eochaidh of the two
plains (i.e. of the plain of Muirisc, daughter of Liogan, and of the plain of
Muidh, or Muaidh), Eunda, Conall, Aongus, Eoghan, Cormac, and Corrdubh. These
were the eight sons of Tresi, the daughter of Natfraoch, and sister of Aongus,
son of Nadfraoch, king of Munster.
