Ron, thanks for letting me know about the two Skeagh townlands. None of the names you listed sound like my people. Thanks. Karen

Ron- My great grandmother,Bridget Donovan, came from the townland of Skeagh. She called it Skeagh Skibbereen.(she also mentioned something about Hannadown)which margaret the volunteer mention as to probably be Aghadown) I contacted the Skibbereen Heritage Center and they were very helpful. Here's their link: http://www.skibbheritage.com/ The volunteer that help us last summer was Margaret. She knew an elderly man in Skeagh and he knew of our family and where the house had been(has been torn down) Unfortunately, our people came from another area in Cork because there weren't any church records. However, she did find my gggrandpaents,Cornelius and Hanora Donovan, in the 1901 +1911 census. All their children had settled in Lawrence,MA. After 1911,Hanora Donovan went to live with her niece Julia Callahan O'Mahoney in Rosscarbary, Cork. This is what she said: August 25,2006 All I have to go on with your ancestry is what I have found in the 1901 and 1911 census records along with what you have told me about your relatives and what I was able to gather from speaking with Mr. Liam O'Donovan of Skeagh, Skibbereen Co. Cork. I have searched the parish records extensively to find the family based on the details you provided and also the local register office which houses the civil registration of Birth certificates from 1864 onwards. there is no trace of your ancestry in the Skibbereen district prior to the 1901 census records. If they were not registered in the civil registry which is some time the case. they were definite baptized and are entered in a registry some where.... But this does not seem to be Skibbereen. Cornelius and hanorah O'Donovan may have moved after all there children emigrated... You Can contact the local Priest at the neighboring parishes to Skibbereen that of Aghadown ... Fr Donal Cahill, The presbytery, Lisheen/Aughadown Co.Cork. and Fr Michael O'Donovan The Presbytery, Dromore. CoCork. Just to be aware both these priests will respond to a written letter. provide them with the same information that you gave me on family names and dates of birth... remember Hanorah O'Donovan was O'Neill prior to her marriage to Cornelius. Looking forward to hearing from you. Good luck. Karen Trearchis(Massachusetts)

Ron, Skeagh is partly in two Civil Parishes, Abbestowry and Schull (Skull). The Roman Catholic Parishes in Abbestowry are Creagh, which has Baptism records from 1814 and Marriage records from 1837, and Caheragh, which has B & M records from 1818. Both are in the Dioceses of Cork and Ross. The RC Parish of Schull has B records from 1807 and M records from 1809. All these records are held locally (only the Diocese of Cloyne has records at the Mallow Heritage Center), but they are on microfilm at the National Library of Ireland. You can try the Cork/Ross Diocesan site at <http://www.corkandross.org> for links to the parishes and contact information. Some researchers have had luck at the local level. Otherwise, the alternatives are a trip to Dublin (not a bad choice!) or hiring a professional researcher (see <http://www.apgi.ie>)> Good luck, David Collins Hudson, MA, USA [email protected] wrote: Today's Topics: 2.

Barbara Holt <[email protected]> said: >Yes, the Youth Hostel in Western Road is fine but often booked out and >you need to share a room with about 5 other people. After booking there I've usually not had a problem getting in, but I'm almost always there in the October/November time frame and it is less crowded. It's even cheaper if you get one of the larger dormitory rooms on the top floor, but they also have rooms for two or four that are more expensive but preferable for coulles or families. >You can also use the YH for the Internet and to cook meals while staying Internet connections at hostels are typically very very expensive. There is a very good cybercafe in the street (Winthrop?) that runs between Patrick St. and Oliver Plunkett St. about 100 yards from the Plunkett St. end walking away from the Post Office. They have a good number of machines and are open long hours. -dja

Hi I`m researching the Lannin ( and variants) Family , i was Hoping someone may either know which Church ( parish register) people Born in the Townland of Skeagh in the Parish of Schull, County Cork may have had there Birth/Baptism noted in , i have a copy of the records for the Parish Church of Schull ( Catholic) and some Church of Ireland Records as well, but does anyone know if there was another Church in the Townland of Skeagh itself where perhaps residents there were Baptised etc. Also if anyone has any information on the Townland of Skeagh i`d love to hear it, i also don`t mind sharing the information i mentioned above there are only Lannin etc records and some Mahoney records . Cheers Ron Lanning

Dan the Irish Ordnance Survey maps will show townlands by name although not the boundaries. It doesn't matter much as they are all very small in area, but you would need to know whereabouts you were looking for as County Cork has 11 maps covering the area - 72, 73, part of 74, half of 79, 80, most of 81, 85, 86, 87, 88, and 89. Have you tried to get the maps locally? Or would Amazon do them? Good luck Mary

Or, would it be possible to stay at a less >expensive B&B on Western Rd. where there seems to be many? Are there >restaurants in that area? I don't want to take taxis just to eat. Western Road B&Bs are very convenient to the City Centre. There are also some nice and moderately priced restaurants along Western Rd. and even a pizza takeaway across from the entrance to the college (UCC). The best deal on Western Rd., however is the Irish youth hostel. That is where I stay in Cork City. For an extra fee they will serve you a cooked breakfast but you can cook your own meals in the members kitchen. One year, when I was in town for the Cork Film Festival in October I would stop at the supermarket in Patrick Street between screenings at the Opera House and pick up a mini baguette of French bread and a few slices of smoked salmon for the equivalent of about a dollar. I would have smoked salmon on toast for breakfast with my tea and saved a lot of money. http://www.anoige.ie/ Irish Youth Hostel Association http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ahnws202.htm#01/11/2002 my writeup of Cork Film Festival for the BostonIrish Reporter >What is recommended in the way of local libraries to make maximum use of >my time? I would like to be able to see material that wouldn't be >available through LDS libraries. The main repositories in Cork City would be the local history room of the Cork Corporation (City) Library in the Grand Parade. They have a good collection of local material and newspapers on microfilm. Sadly, their hours are not always that good. Nearby spots to eat lunch include the cafe upstairs at the Triskell Arts Centre (down the alley next to where the Cork Archives Institute used to be on South Main St.) or the English Market across the street. The city Library only has a couple of microfilm readers for newspapers so you might want to see if you can reserve one ahead of time. Also see their run of the Journal of the Cork Archaeological and Historical Society. The Cork Archives Institute (by appointment only) has a manuscript collection that includes some estate papers and also workhouse records from the Cork Poor Law Unions. The County Library out on Model Farm Road also has newspapers and a good collection of local historical society journals. Across Western Road from the hostel is the Boole Library at UCC. They have a good collection of newspapers both bound and microfilm, but you have to pay a daily readers fee if not a student of UCC so be sure to get there early enought to get your money's worth. Also out off Western Road is the Cork City Museum, which has limited archival materials, but is a very interesting place to see some Cork history. Afterwards, walk through the gardens, over the footbridge and up the hill to the Cork City Gaol, another museum. In one of the cells you can see graffiti from some Aherns who were held there during the troubles. Here are some links for Cork. If you would like to hear more, you can download my talk on this subject at last year's FGS conference in Boston at http://www.lulu.com/content/407710 for a fee of $1.99 [disclaimer - I get 60 cents royalty on each download] Here are some of the links for Cork.

After many, many years of trying to find my family I have just received my grandparents marriage certificate. My grandfather came here around 1889 and married in 1893. The certificate says Thomas ( H )? Murphy married Annie Greer. It gives the names of my grandfather's parents: Father Thomas Murphy Mother: Elen Nougher as best I can make it out. Is the name Nougher Irish or maybe Scottish? Would it be a name that is associated to the Church of Ireland? Also where in Ireland would this name be most found.? Thank you for any help, Elizabeth Murphy, New York ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.

"Sharie Paulson" <[email protected]> said" >I assume, since it appears to have come to the US alone, that her parents >had passed away. Did Julia have siblings? Plenty of young women emigrated alone, got jobs as servants and sent money home to their parents. And just because there isn't anyone of the same surname on the passenger list doesn't mean she came alone. She cold be travelling with cousins, neighbors, aunts or uncles. -dja

Julia Healy b. abt Oct 1853 She may be the Julia baptized 22 Aug 1854 at Ballyvourney, County Cork, Ireland with parents Ellen Murphy and Patrick Healy. She came to the US about 1875/76. She moved to Iowa. Can anyone give me information about any of the above mentioned people. I assume, since it appears to have come to the US alone, that her parents had passed away. Did Julia have siblings? Thank You, Sharie Moss Bluff, LA

Has anyone any information regarding Annie/Hannah Casley born about 1855, most probably in Cork. She was married to Joseph Adams, a British Subject, born in Russia in about 1841 who died in Liverpool in 1920. I have evidence that Annie and her husband were residing in Liverpool, England from at least 1889. Annie stayed until after the death of her daughter, Elsie, which occurred in 1927 when she returned to her native Ireland and presumably died there. Many thanks for any help you may be able to give me. Rosie -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
