Nora at topsey@bellatlantic.net writes: << Do any of you know the whereabouts of these two townland?? >> Yup. They are located in Kilmocomoge civil parish. The townland of Kealkill (now, probably also considered a town) lies at the junction of the R 584 and R 585 roads, nearly 6 miles NNE of Bantry town. Cousane lies along the R 585, 5 miles due east of Kealkill. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts

Chuck, Your history sounds very much like mine.....My great grandmother was "an orphan" from birth, as the family story goes. Her mother, name unknown and origin unknown, gave birth to her first baby, dying in childbirth. Her father was a miner who died six months prior to her birth, his name also unknown; he was german. My Greatgrandmother was raised by a greataunt. She also always said she was from Colorado. There were no known relatives as she preferred to never talk about her life. Now this story ran in the family for decades. In fact I am finding the real family story now, about 120 years after my greatgrandmother was born. I first wrote down all that was family legend. It became a sort of hobby asking everyone what grandma's story was. Next, I chased the supposed last name of the "greataunt" that raised my greatgrandma. This was the first in the series of "miracles" that happened. I chased the name by looking up everything I could on Ancestry.com that was related to the woman's last name. The paydirt was when I sent for the ONLY social security death Index name that I could find. It was from the right approximate area for the family so I figured I had nothing to lose but $7.00. I received it back and there were two names, the mom and dad of this man, and no other information because it was a different kind of document(but all that Social Security could find). I looked both of those names up on Ancestry and came up with another great lead. The man was listed in a city directory in Colorado in the 1880's and his occupation at the time was MINING! The woman's name I had never heard of before and the family told me to forget her because it was a "bogus" name since they had never heard of it either. They told me she was probably another wife IF the man was truly family. WRONG MOVE! I didn't listen to them fortunately. I continued to forage through the information that I had received from family and at the same time kept chasing the two names that came up on that wierd record from SS. I wrote to Leadville, CO and recieved the marriage certificate for the "two" that had shown up on the SS form. Hmmm. At least I knew that they were married. Still it was a long shot chasing names that the family thought mythical. I might add that there were hundreds of women with the name Anna Harrington in the US at the time period I was researching, however I kept the names that were of the general area around Leadville, Colorado. This began the great chase for the other last name. I then started looking up in the Census for 1880 all the Harringtons in Leadville. I found two families but each one had an Anna Harrington......Hmmmmm. I did find that there was only one that had a child named Anna and the other was the wife of a different man. THis made that woman maybe too old and possibly "unavailable" since the date on that marriage cert that I had was dated 1882. I still didn't know how old this woman that I was chasing was. THe story goes on in many unusual ways and I have managed to chase and FIND the whole family back to Ireland, however, the greataunt that raised my ggrandma was her aunt, the sister of her mother! The last name was correct on both accounts in that SS record. And the family was a mining family but we now believe that the father of my ggradma was not killed before grandma was born. He actually lived in the same town working at the same mine as the aunt's husband, a place where her grandfather had worked too. THe whole of my story is: 1. Don't totally discount family legend. Do the research on even the smallest clue. 2. Bogus names or places may pan out so don't discount them either. 3. Do listen to family thoughts on your search as they may send you to areas that you wouldn't look otherwise. The family may also have their memories jogged and remember details of information that may be helpful (like family professions, or memories of "mining" that grandma talked about that was unrelated namewise but leads you to know details like what kind of mining the family once did). That can lead you to the correct areas of country as well as to the correct interest groups. 4. If you have a "hunch" follow it. Keep in mind that it is only a "theory" but follow it and think logically. Logically means looking at the historical information of the time period, the economics of the time and the culture that your ancestors belonged to. My best places to keep up with those logical facts were on LISTS off of RootsWeb for States, Counties, and groups like miners, Irish, germans etc (which is what you appear to be doing!). I could go on with my story, and I apologize for it's length, but I'm sure you may have more story than you bargained for or wanted. Good luck to you in your search. Dianna Wickern

Does anyone know in what year Griffith's Valuation was performed in County Cork? Thanks for any help. Kay

Happy to give details. Unfortunately there are not many detail's to give. I'm looking for information on my gr.x 2 grandmother and her parent's. Kathleen Theresa Carey was born June 2, 1850 in County Cork, exact location unknown. Her father was a Richard Carey who died sometime in the months just prior to her birth. He was a seaman by trade and was lost at sea, name of ship unknown. Her mother, name unknown, died giving birth to Kathleen Theresa. Kathleen was brought to America when just 3 weeks old by an Aunt & Uncle by the name of Keough. It is said the Aunt was a sister of Kathleen's mother. So as you can see the detail's are sketchy at best. Any suggestion's?

I am searching for John B. Howard who, according to family tradition, was born on Cork ca. 1831. He emigrated to Connecticutt before 1853 when his son Timothy J. HOWARD was born. He married Ann LEE, born in Limerick ca. 1830. Whether they were married in Ireland or in the USA is not known. They eventually moved to Saint Louis, Missouri where John died 17 Mar 1891 and Ann died 23 Apr 1906. Any help with this line would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Will Howard Kansas City, Missouri, USA

Hi Jan; Ballaghaderg Bridge is on a tiny (short) tributary that runs northwesterly from the river Funshion. The place is very close to Mitchelstown - slightly north of the city. It is south of Knockanevin. Dave

As I'm fairly new to this research, I wondered if someone could help me in my search for ELIZABETH SMITH. I have limited info: born County Cork in 1889 and came to Australia as a child in 1895/96.She died in Lismore NSW 13th June 1951 as Bridget Elizabeth Atta Singh.Records indicate that she never married Harry Atta Singh. Her death certificate was of little help due to unknown or mis info. I have checked both assisted and non-assisted immigrants at the State Archives in Brisbane but to no avail. My grandmother was the second of her illigitemate children (father unknown?) Where to next?? Bev in hot humid Brisbane
