I will be in Dublin, Monday October 28, 2002 which is Halloween. Does anyone know if the National Library, The Valuation Office, and the General Register Office are open that day, due to the holiday. Someone told me Ireland celebrates this holiday, and many places are closed. Thank you for any help you can give me on this matter. R.Moore

Tom, An abortive attempt was made in Bandon some years ago, but somehow ran afoul of the RC church authorities, or so I have been told. The Skibbereen Heritage Centre is attempting to look into the matter but no information has been released as to progress. Bill Fahy

Hello list, I have been trying to learn the homes (townlands) of numerous Irish ancestors. One thing that frustrates me is the absence of a heritage center which focuses on the western part of County Cork. Nearly every county in Ireland has at least one such center. Why not Cork? Are there any plans to get one started in western part of the county, one that would have all relevant records at one site? Tom.

I too, am planning to visit the National Library in Dublin in October. I was going to ask how to go about using the genealogy information there but now I don't need to. Thanks!

William, Thank you so much for the detailed information on the National Library. I printed it, and hope to memorize it by the time I leave. I appreciate your taking the time to to do this. Rose

Michael, Thank you for the information on the Supple Landlord, in Cork, site. It was very interesting, and I will look further into this. Rose

I have done a little research on Supple not because I have any in my family but because they were landlords to some of my family.

Rose, The first thing you do, either here or in Ireland, is purchase a copy of "Tracing Your Irish Ancestors" by John Grenham. It will have everything you wish to know about records in the various counties but especially the microfilm numbers in the National Library for the various locations. With the film numbers in hand you can walk into the National Library (no admission fee) and tell the Guard at the entrance in the lobby you are going to Genealogy. Go up a few steps and turn to the room on your right. Go through into the inner section where you should see a box or container which will have necklace-chain type ID cards for Genealogy. If you cannot find the container ask someone but there should be no need to talk to anyone otherwise. If you do not do this or if you do not have the pertinent information relative to the films you will have to wait in line to get your ID and have your questions answered. Continue upstairs and turn to you right. Go through the door on your left and sign in on the book, at the Front Desk, on the countertop to your right. Turn around and go across the floor to the Microfilm Room. Find a working Microfilm Reader, note the number relating to it on the desk. Turn on its light, place your belongings on the chair and return to the front desk. Pick up no more than three request forms. They should be on the countertop to the left side. Fill in the information relative to the films, one request per form, including the number of the microfilm reader where you will be seated and turn them in to anyone behind the front desk. Return to the Microfilm Room and sit down and within 20 minutes someone will return with the microfilms. You will be asked which film you wish to look at first and the remainder will be returned to the front desk. When you have finished with the first film return to the front desk and exchange it for the next film. The do the same with the next film. If you are looking at more than three films a day, now would be the time to request no more than 2 films but ask that they stay at the desk until you return the one you have. That is all there is to it. The entire service is free. Keep in mind that Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the library is open from 10 am to 9 pm; Thursday and Friday 10 am to 5pm. In addition I believe there were Supples in the Ballydehob & Schull region because I saw a death notice in that name in May of this year. Good luck with your research! Bill Fahy

Nancy, Very interesting. Did you have to name a specific lot or was a townland good enough? I know what townland my people came from but no idea within the townland. Can you post the address you used? God Bless John Paul

Dear List: I have just received from the Valuation Office in Ireland, a map of the townland in which my family lived and a history of the occupiers of the property from 1855ish until as recently as 1986. It is very helpful to get an approximate death date on some of the families head of household as you can see when the property changes hands from one family member to another. It cost about 40 dollars American money and I think well worth it. Regards, Nancy Kie Canton, CT

I am looking for the family of my great grandmother that was supposed to have come from County Cork, Ireland somewhere between 1900 and 1905. Her name was Kate or Katherine Malloy, at least one of her sisters also came over with her. Her name was Mary Agnus Malloy. The other sisters were Elizabeth, Nellie and Annie. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sherry Corder ==== CountyCork Mailing List ==== ** CountyCork Mailing List homepage http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/countycork **

Is anyone researching the name Suppel, in Co. Cork? Margaret Supple was born in Co. Cork, abt. 1862 to Wm. Supple and Mary O'Sullivan. Mary Supple, and her daughter Margaret are later found in Ohio on our 1880 U.S. Census. I have found the name Supple on The Griffiths Valuation in the civil parishes of Ballyclogh, Kilshannig, Dromdowney, Carrigaline, and Inchigeelagh, but have not been able to go beyond that. Is anyone researching in these area's, or have suggestions how I might get further, such as the church records for these area's? Would the Mormon Library be my next try? I am going to Ireland in October, and would very much like to find out where the Supple's were from in Cork. I hope to have at least a civil parish, before I go, so I can research further in their records at the National Library, in Dublin. I believe they have all of the R.C. Church records for Cork. If anyone has been to the National Library, I would appreciate any tips you have on doing research there. If you like, you can email me at my email address. rmoore5986@aol.com Thank you for any help or suggestion you can give. Rose

David Thank you for the information. I understand that the PRO is the Public Records Office in Dublin. But what is the "NLI list?" And could you please tell me if I can get the appropriate addresses online?

Thank you to all who sent me hints, names to use and names not recommended for a researcher. I did find a person to look at the O'Neill/Sullivan records from Drimoleague. I have received a report via email with copies from Griffiths Valuation and Tithe Applotments to follow. I now know marriage date and place plus other info -- so it was a great experience. I again say thank you for all the messages and good luck in your searching. Ann O'Neil

Re looking for a genealogist in Cork I can recommend Karen Linden who lives in Baltimore West Cork and specialises in this area of County Cork. Her email address is ancestornut@yahoo.com Hope this will be of help Happy searching. Kathleen Daly.

Please has anyone heard of this surname. Where does it originate from Cheers Lorraine. New Zealand

I had very good luck with Sean O'Neil who lives in Dublin and researches in surrounding areas of County Cork. He charges $100 US dollar or equivalent ( 111 EURO ) payable in advance by personal cheque or cash in post ( but no $100 bills) or bankdraft made out in 111 EURO payable at Bank of Ireland, Dublin. He was very responsive to my inquiry and I would recommend him highly. maghoneill@eircom.net (SeanO'Neill)
