Here's a possibility. There is a townland and parish named Lackeen. Spoken aloud, "Loch" and "qui" (pronounced "key") might sound like Lo(a)ckeen to a non-Irish scribe.

Hi, I am new to the Cork list and am wondering if someone could tell me if Shanagarry is in Cork?? My grandfather was supposed to be born there. He was Thomas John BOHEN. I was hoping some kind soul might tell me How I would go about getting a birth cert. for him. Sandy Australia bobredway@ozemail.com.au --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi All, I have to agree with Pat and Gay. Especially as I am also researching the names Lyons, Leary and O'Leary many of whom finished up in SF, CAL. and other states in the USA. I am currently chasing obits in both Ireland and USA for all of these names, and am subscribed to many USA mailing lists with mixed success. How wonderful if we could use this list for an exchange of information along these lines. The USA lists seem to be just as active as usual, but this is the first Co. Cork posting I have received in several days. In fact this list has been very quiet, and getting quieter, over the past few months. I have often wondered if we have any subscribers who actually live in Ireland? And Gay, if you think you have it hot in WA, you should be here in Townsville! Wow! A very Happy and Safe Christmas to all.

Anyone researching families in the Doneraile, county Cork area? Interested in the family name Kaliher/Keliher/Kelleher/Keleher. Also Hern/Ahern/O'Hern/Hearne/ etc. Time frame about 1800 -1840's in Ireland. Some migrated to England before coming to U. S. of America. Family members landed in New York and Boston, Mass. area and some migrated to Ohio, Chicago, Ill., Minn. etc. Irene jmart@erinet.com

KELLEHER / CRONIN in County Cork I am not sure if this is the correct format and method for seeking contacts. Will someone tell me if this is not the way? My great grandmother was Margaret Kelleher. She was baptized in @1842. She was born in the parish of Clondrohid, County Cork is registered in Catholic Baptismal Register. The date 12 June 1842 is her baptismal or birth date. Her parents were: John Kelleher - father, and Mary Buckly (-Kelleher) - mother. Margaret died 02 March 1938 in Ballincollig, County Cork. Her grave is in Aghina Graveyard, Mashanaglass, near Coachford and Macroom in County Cork. My records show she was married to my grandfather John Cronin in Clondrohid in 1865. They had eight children. One child was Patrick Cronin, my grandfather. Can anyone help me in my search for Kelleher and Cronin family? Alan Scott Mikesell - (my mother was a Cronin)

Pat I think a broader use of the list would be appreciated. I note that the list owner has strict rules about what is to be posted however I also note as you have that hardly anyone is posting anything. There may be a thousand subscribers to this list but as a number of listers feel uncomfortable posting a notice in case of being growled at then there may as well be no listers. I have really enjoyed your postings and more contact between Cork listers would be wonderful. Merry Christmas to all. Lyons and Sullivan researcher, Fermoy, Kilworth, Mitchelstown.

Hi Sandra, Shanagarry is in Cork County about 21 miles South-east(ish) of Cork City. An idea of his year of birth would be helpful in advising you further.

Asking help in figuring out where my GGGGrandfather, Robert Robinson was born. We have a document, written by his son, which is very hard to read. It appears that Robert was born in approximately 1783 in Cork Parish of Loch____(appears to be perhaps a qui__, but not sure). Any help in figuring out this location would be greatly appreciated. We had expected to find him completely associated with Scotland, but not so. His youngest son was born at BallyCastle, yet Robert Robinson received his Dr. degree from Glasgow University, and my GGGrandfather, his oldest son, was born in Glasgow. Thank you. Jane Goux

Hi, Does anyone know what Townlands Ardnaclugg and Toonadrooma of County Cork might be? I've tried entering them into Ireatlas but nothing is found. thanks, Barbara

The 1901 census is available on microfilm through the LDS, there is no index but as you seem to have a rough idea of where they were there should be no problem.

Thankyou Deborah< Yes, you may rent reels of the 1901 census at your FHC. It is indexed also so look for those reels. Does any reader know if the index is on a cd? You can see what is available by going to Familysearch.com and looking under library catalog. I am guilty of this too, but remember to insert Returns at the end of each screen as you type because otherwise the incoming messages are one long long long line for many of us. Thanks.

Cork. One is far from Kanturk, down near Crookstown, west of Cork City. The other Knockaneroe is in Kilmeen civil parish (the one in Duhallow barony), and is just 3 miles WSW of Kanturk town.......probably the one of interest to you.

Kristie..this is a very good idea as I have spent a lot of time with the same problem. I usually look up and down to find a 13 or higher, in the dates so I can figure out how the dating works. Sometimes though, I have gone through the years before I can hit upon the right date to figure it out. Thanks.

I'm hard pressed to think that anyone doing serious genealogy would not know that dates are always to be written : 09 Dec 2002 and also to become familiar of calendar changes, as that also makes a difference with one's very early ancestors. Helen
