This is my second time in using this great source of info. My name is Bill. My sister, Marilyn, and I are running into many roadblocks in our research for our relatives in CO. Cork. To make my request simple I would like to have ANY information on the Kahrmann family who were residing in County Cork during the 1800's. Our one relative, JOHN (GEORGE) FERDINAND KAHRMANN was born in Hegoland, Germany in 1917, His residence in County Cork was most likely from about 1855 to 1895. He was a member of the York Rite of Free Masons during most of those years. He had been a Sea Captain and an Engineer. He died in Ireland. I really don't have more to go on; but, I know from other responses much has been found with little info other than the family name. I want to thank everyone in advance who has any info for taking the time to explor my request. Regards Bill Jansen bjansen5@sbcglobal.net Hello Bill, here are a few Carme[o]n names I found, this was the only spelling I could find. Regards, Matt Breslin.

Hi Paul = You are right - the Schull cemetery is in a magnificent setting. My husband and I went there last year looking for his great gg grandmother's grave. Our first excursion was not successful but, after reading the entry in Casey more carefully, we went back and found the vault. Someone had mowed the lawn in the meantime!! Eliza Hoy died in 1814 at the age of 26 at Leamcon, one of the signal towers erected in the early 1800s. The signal tower is still there and is now part of a private residence. Eliza's son, Robert, came to Australia with his wife in about 1840. Eliza was born Eliza Dumas and her father, Peter Dumas, was an alderman of Cork Corporation. I have found some Mahoney connections in Co Kerry. Regards Jan Daly Sydney, Australia Paul Chestnut wrote: > Monica, > > > After Dublin, we went to Schull.

This church was Church of Ireland, after confiscation of church lands by Henry VIII. There is a Catholic Church on the main street in town, also called St. Mary's. I am told it was built in about 1828, during the period of Catholic emancipation.

Paul - I thought for a minute we had a match. But I looked at the Collins' in your link, and they're close, but don't think the same: - Bartholomew Collins - born ca 1800-10 - married Catherine Minihane of Ballyally (near Lough Hyne) east of Baltimore. Catherine born ca 1815, married ca 1837 - had 10 children, all baptized in Skibbereen: 1. Ellen Collins - 1838 2. Patrick - 1840 3. Tim - 1842 4. Denis - 1843 5. Michael - 1845 6. Honora - 1848 7. Mary - 1850 8. Catherine - 1850 9. Bartholomew - 1853 10. John - 1855 They lived on Reengaroga Island, near Baltimore, when the last few children were born. So close, but I don't think a connection.

Geoff, I think we emailed before? My Dukelow ancestor was married to MARY CONNELL. She died either on the crossing of the Atlantic or in Ireland, not sure. Family history says on the crossing. I don't know her parents' names, but where the Dukelow's lived in Grenville County, Ontario, there are many Connell's living nearby and some intermarried with other Dukelow's. I have no doubt they are part of the same line as Mary, but no proof.

I have a copy of a marriage certificate and the place of residence of groom looks like "Keelnocopogue"???? Probably in the Bantry area! Does anyone have any idea of the correct name of this Townland? Peggy

Monica, I have spent a lot of time perusing the baptismal and marriage records for Schull Parish (also called Skull) at the National Library in Dublin. I am researching Cotter, Collins, Hegarty, and Holland. In the process, I noticed that there were many Mahoneys in the records. The Genealogy Room in the National Library is the place to start. There is a computer there which has a completely computerized version of Griffith's Valuation. This was helpful, since I didn't know the townlands where my ancestors lived. The expert in the Genealogy Room pointed me to the microfilm for the Catholic parish at Schull. The name of the church is St. Mary's. I spent three days perusing Baptism and marriage records, which go back to 1809. I succeeded in finding records for my great grandparents William Cotter (1840 - 1891) and Mary Collins and their ancestors and children. I found the baptismal record for the father of Mary Collins, Bartholomew (1811 - 1896); his parents: Daniel Collins and Mary Mahoney. William's father was Patrick Cotter (1810 - 1866). I found the baptismal record for Patrick; his parents: James Cotter and Ellen Mahoney. At William's Baptism, one of the witnesses was Mary Mahoney. After Dublin, we went to Schull. There is a town called Schull at the center of the parish of the same name. It has a magnificent setting on a harbor shaped like a horseshoe that opens into Roaring Water Bay, which has a hundred islands. The area could not be more picturesque; really green meadows lined with hedgerows and stone fences, sheep and cows grazing; little boats in the harbor; a background of mountains (Mt. Gabriel is 1339 feet); the bay outside the harbor dotted with islands, themselves with green meadows, stone fences, sheep and cows grazing. There is a beautiful old ruin on Colla Road overlooking the harbor. It is St. Mary's Church, built probably in the sixteenth century (see Short History of the Ruins of St. Mary's Church, Colla Road, Schull, Mizen Journal, vol. 8, 2000).

Hello Bill - not sure if you have had a response. If you are searching for BMD records after 1864 and you have the details you should be able to order the certificates from the GRO in Roscommon. http://www.groireland.ie/ Their website should answer most of your queries. If you don't have the details, you may be able to find them on the LDS Pilot site: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start Wait for page to load, click on Europe, then scroll down to Ireland. If you are searching prior to that date, then you will be looking at church records and this is a little more complex. If you post a few details (names, dates etc) then listers may have suggestions on how to go about finding the records. Apologies if this is not what you need, or if you already know this.

Hello Bob - a Google search shows that Wilton appears to be on the south side of Cork city. Just to the north of Wilton is a road called Model Farm Road so it seems to bear out what you have found. You would need to find what parish covers this area and try to see if there are surviving church records for that parish. The National Archives in Dublin holds many Roman Catholic records on film which can be viewed in person. As you know his father's name (Patrick, don't you love them!!) and a rough year of birth, it should be possible to find his baptism. Cork City Library or the Cork Archives may hold information regarding the Model Farm. http://www.corkarchives.ie/ http://www.corkcitylibraries.ie/ Not sure if that is what you are seeking but hope it is useful.

I am trying to complete my family tree from my Irish grandfather's family. The details I have are fairly sketchy, but here goes. My grandfather Martin Murray gave his age as 36 in the 1911 census, 27 in the 1901 census but 40 when he married in November 1911. He came from a farming family born in Wilton, Co Cork according to the 1911 census. His father was named Patrick. It was said that the farm was called 'Murray's Model Farm'. Martin was estranged from his family over his reluctance to enter the Priesthood and I assume that he was in Lancashire, England due to this. I understand that letters sent home to Ireland were returned unopened. I would dearly like to know more of his background but really don't to know where to begin. What is a Townland? Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Bob

Townland: This is the smallest land division, but they vary widely in size. There are over 64,000 townlands in Ireland. They are still in administrative use today. It is the smallest land unit in Griffith's Valuation. A number of townlands, varying between 5   and 30, make up a civil parish. Many townlands from different areas have the same name. A major hurdle for anyone to overcome to finding information about their Irish   ancestors is finding the townland where they lived. A good start is    www.seanruad.com.   A townland is an old Irish land unit that has been in existence since the early 1100s. There are 64,462 of them in Ireland with 168 of them in the barony of Kinalea and 11   in the civil parish of Ballyfeard. Townland has the same meaning as “bally” or “bailie”    in Irish and means “settlement” or “the place where you live”. Their names were    derived from some prominent man made or natural feature in the area. That is how communities in each area identified themselves. A townland is now the smallest administrative land unit in Ireland. All larger administrative units are made up of multiples of them. Generally their boundries follow some physical features of the landscape. Such as roads, hedges, rivers, streams etc. Depending on the quality of    the land their sizes range from about 2 acres to more than 7000 acres. The better       the land the smaller the townland. ________________________________ From: robert hargreaves <robert@hargreavesr.fsnet.co.uk> To: COUNTY CORK <COUNTYCORK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 11:53:09 AM Subject: [CO CORK] Advice or Help I am trying to complete my family tree from my Irish grandfather's family.

Thanks Barbara! It was worth a try I suppose. One never knows but that they might strike it lucky and find someone else looking for the same families. Marriage between the Coakley, Minihane and Leary families seems to have been the way to go in the Bantry area back in the early to mid 1800's. I guess I will have to contact the Parish Priest, once again, and see if he will co-operate and send me a few marriage and Baptism certificates. Now that Mary Burke, his sacristan, has given up the job, he might not have the time himself to do the research. Strangely enough my job here in Townsville is with the Diocesan Archives and part of it is to locate and sent out copies of these events when requested by people who were baptised or married in this area. Some times I think I would love to go across to Ireland once again and offer my services to some of the Priests to help people like us doing research. Wouldn't that be a hoot!

However, there are from around Skibbereen and Baltimore - a little east of where you're looking. If we go way back, of course all these Minihanes would be related - but there's no way of going back 300-400 years. Most of the Minihanes from west of Skibbereen seem to be from the Schull and Goleen areas. Barbara in St. Louis, Missouri, USA

If he died in Ireland 1865 or later, his death should have been registered in Ireland. An index to death registrations is now available at the LDS pilot search site: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html You may have to get a bit creative with the spelling of the surname. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Jansen" <bjansen5@sbcglobal.net> To: <COUNTYCORK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 11:09 AM Subject: [CO CORK] Kahrmann Family Request > Hello to everyone who can help me with our Kahrmann family genealogy. > This is my second time in using this great source of info. > > My name is Bill.

Hello to everyone who can help me with our Kahrmann family genealogy. This is my second time in using this great source of info. My name is Bill. My sister, Marilyn, and I are running into many roadblocks in our research for our relatives in CO. Cork. To make my request simple I would like to have ANY information on the Kahrmann family who were residing in County Cork during the 1800's. Our one relative, JOHN (GEORGE) FERDINAND KAHRMANN was born in Hegoland, Germany in 1917, His residence in County Cork was most likely from about 1855 to 1895. He was a member of the York Rite of Free Masons during most of those years. He had been a Sea Captain and an Engineer. He died in Ireland. I really don't have more to go on; but, I know from other responses much has been found with little info other than the family name. I want to thank everyone in advance who has any info for taking the time to explor my request. Regards Bill Jansen bjansen5@sbcglobal.net
