There was a Rev. Skeffington attached to the Roman Catholic Church in Portrush, Co Antrim in 1916. Could he have been any connection to your Tree? Cyndy ___________ Thanks for this suggestion, Cyndy. One should never discount anything when it comes to genealogy, BUT, Patrick Skiffington was born around 1815 in Co. Tyrone, and that much I know for sure. I think he might have come to the USA in 1834, married in 1840, and died in 1863. Not wishing to pull the snob card, but I do believe he and his wife, Bridget Kelly, were illiterate, unlike the Reverend Skiffington who likely had to have had more than a modicum of education to become a priest. As I can't get Patrick "connected" to anyone in Ireland for sure, except that records say he was born in Co. Tyrone, I have no idea who might have been related to him, therefore. Thanks again for suggesting a possibility in Co. Antrim. (Two of my mother's great-grandmothers came from Belfast and Carrickfergus, respectively, then at some point ended up in Glasgow (Scotland, of course, not Kentucky!). I only discovered the "Irish connection" when I was an adult and had left home (Glasgow) for this side of the world, otherwise maybe I could have found out more about them when I was living at "home."
