Can anyone on the list suggest any good books to read on what life in Cork was like for my PARKER ancestors in the 1800's. I would be most interested in anything that was written about life in the Macroney Parish area, as they were from Billeragh East. Bill O'Loughlin

Can anyone on the list tell me where I can find the RIC record for my wifes' great grandfather, Edward Finnigan, a Sergeant in the Royal Irish Constabulary? Bill O'Loughlin

If anyone has this CD can you write to me off-list please. I'd like to know how user friendly this CD is. I have these volumes and want to know if there is a search tool with the CD that makes it easy to search for surnames and placenames. Thanks, Dave Murray Email Address: dmurray@totalnetnh.net

Alice If you have New England ancestors and live in the Boston area, books such as the Charlestown would also probably be found at the New England Historical Genealogical Society on Newbury Street. (www.newenglandancestors.org) They have been around over 100 years and have a fantastic library as well as a superb circulating library and online database if you live outside their area. They also have an excellent Irish collection. Living in the Atlanta, Georgia area I have borrowed, for example, the Lewis Topographical Dictionary of Ireland and the Grove White treatises on the Castletownroche. Cork area and have found a wealth of information on the areas in Cork where my ancestors lived as well as a lot of leads for chasing some of the more elusive ones down. Membership is $60 a year but I have gotten more value for that than perhaps any other source. Best of luck in your search. Bob

My grandmother on my Dad's side emigrated to Charlestown, MA USA from Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Some of her family still live there and more importantly her mom is buried there. I try to make time to get into the archives whenever possible. (For a while it was Fridays. That's not predictable now, but I will continue to make time for it if you can handle a wait here and there) I also try to rope my husband into getting me to the older cemeteries. Many of them are in "challenging" neighborhoods these days. If I can help let me know. A section of my research binder is called "requests from the web." I truly appreciate the help of the professional genealogists and researchers and use them when necessary. And that is not infrequent. But I believe we should try to share what we know with one another. I think somewhere along the line we are all cousins. At least! I'm working on my family tree and will post it to the web before Christmas. Hopefully at some point it will help someone. I have deep gratitude to all have been working at this much longer than I. Your work has reduced mine substantially.

I have a Birth Cerificate for the following: JEREMIAH, b: 27 September 1876, COUSANE, Co. Cork. Father: JOHN LEARY, Mother: JULIA KEOHANE.. He was Baptised at St. Finbarrs, Bantry, on 24 October 1876 and the wittnesses were: MUREDOCHUS LEARY & MARIA KEOHANE. It is possible that this man Jeremiah was my GrandFather, who always said he was "a Bantry man" born in Coomhola area so I guess that could include Cousane. Family lore has it that his mother died at or soon after he was born. He married MARY LEHANE at Ballyvogue, Kilnamartyra, in 1894. Would appreciate any leads which might help me over this brickwall of 10 years standing. Peggy Townsville Australia

Thanks Emma, I recently visited and noted the Sisk stones. I took a few photos also. Fermoy Library have a list of inscriptions for Castlehyde Cemetery but it may be a little out of date. Slán tamall Brendan Sisk http://brensisk.tripod.com/

Hello from Canada. Apologies for cross postings. Recently I stayed at CastleHyde Inn, Fermoy (wonderful!) which is directly beside a small, very over grown cemetery. Apparently there are both Protestant and Catholics buried there. Many stones were totally unreadable, but a few were, so I copied information with names I have seen on list. I hope it might help someone. These were all on the same stone, in the same plot: John Sisk Jr.d. June 12, 1812 age 26 James Sisk d. Oct 15, 1839 age 19 Wil Sisk d. Dec. 26, 1873 age 60 Rev.

Valeria, Have you checked the LDS Family History Center near you? The birth and marriage indexes should give you the information which would lead you to actual records, because marriages were recorded from 1845 and births from 1864. Bill Fahy

Hi, My great mother, Mary Donovan, b. 1842, married a man named Florence(?) Barnett. I don't have an exact date, but their first child was born around 1869, so I'm assuming they were married around 1866 -1868. Mary's father is believe to have been Dennis Donovan. It is believed Mary Donovan and Florence Barnett were either living in Skibbereen or Rosscarberrie. They had four children:m Minnie Agnes, b. 1869, Margaret Agnes, b. 1875, Nora Agnes, b. June 8, 1885, (my grandmother) and John, b. 1887/1888. The family moved to United States, (Boston area) around 1900 and I believe they also had relatives in the Rosscarberrie area. Does anyone have any information on any of the above? I've never been able to find anything at all on my grandmother before she came to United States. Thanks Valeria Rijnbeek

I would like to re-post my interest in the MORGAN family. A widow, Ann Morgan, and her children Charles (21), Mary Ann (17), Margaret (16), Fanny (14), and James (11), all residents of County Cork, emigrated to New Zealand on the 'Westminster' in 1842. Mary Ann is my Gt Gt Grandmother, and from her marriage we learn that her parents names were Jacob Morgan and Ann (nee Green) >From the above ages we can conclude Jacob/Ann's marriage was probably around 1820, the children were born between 1821 and 1831 and Jacob died between 1831 and 1842. The family were Catholic. I am looking for birth/marriage details of these family members but unfortunately I do not know the city/town where they came from. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. John Beaton Brisbane, Australia
