Barton; I have found many Roche names and families in the Castletownroche section of Co. Cork and nearby areas. This in the NE section of Co. Cork I did a search of Co. Cork with google-yahoo search engine for "Roche Genealogy Cork" and got the following results http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=roche+genealogy+cork&hc=0&hs=0 There are a number of Parkers in the same area. I haven't searched for Cahill and Dennehy before but got these results using the same keywords as above. Cahill- http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=cahill+genealogy+cork&hc=0&hs=0 Dennehy- http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=dennehy+genealogy+cork&hc=0&hs=0 As there are 77 to 280 hits found in these searches, you might find something in them that will help tear down that "Brick Wall". I trust this will be the case. For you folks looking for your ancestors, if you haven't tried using these keywords in your web site searches (changing the surname), it might help you too. No promises! But it has been very helpful to me. You might also want to search just in a particular Parish or Townland without the surname to see what comes up. For instance using keywords of "Castletownroche genealogy Cork" or "Cork genealogy" or "Castletownroche History Cork", etc. You all probably know these things already, but thought it might help someone. You can find the google and yahoo search engines (they are now one and the same) at http://www.yahoo.com Be sure to explore the web sites that are in these hits. Some have search engines for the content of that site. Put your surname in and find where on these sites the surname exists in that site. Also, for the various sites found in your yahoo or other search engine results, be sure to try the "trick" of trimming back the web site address initially given, one slash level at a time, exploring what comes up at each slash level of the address. Often times I have found startling results and new things never imagined. When you get down to the internet service provider, especially if in Ireland, you might find the other web sites that are stored on that internet service providers web site. Ginny Swanton's and Wolfe Family web sites have been extremely helpful to me.

Greetings. I was wondering if there is some kind person who is in a position to check Cork newspapers with regard to a bankruptcy in the early 1800's. If there is someone to help I can give details of dates. I can search in Australia in return.Regards, Pam

Pam It should be fairly easy to check yourself if you have an LDS Mormon Library (FHC) near you. You can then get the film of the Ffolliott indexes which indexes all (or most of) the Cork newspapers through the 18th and 19th century, including bankruptcies. To get the address of a FHC near you and to search their catalogue look at their website: http://www.familysearch.com/ search the Family History Library Catalogue: Location: Cork, category: Newspapers Kae Lewis

Hello Arline, The names Michael and Patrick DRISCOLL are common to many RC parishes within County Cork. We have extracted DRISCOLL data for Aghabullogue, Ardfield & Rathbarry, Caheragh, Carrigaline, Courcey's Country, and Kilmacabea. We are currently working on these and on Bantry, Clonthead, Drimoleague, Skibbereen, and St. Mary's. You may have access to our data if you were to volunteer to extract records from a parish in accordance with our needs listed at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~colin/DriscollOfCork/Catholic/Films.htm I would you suggest you consider the parishes of Kilmurry or Muintervara as we know from results to date that the names Patrick and Michael occur together in these parishes. The following pages explains how to join our project http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~colin/DriscollOfCork/Project/JoinUs.htm Cheers, Colin Ferguson List and Project Administrator http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~colin/DriscollOfCork/

I ran across the web site below while doing a search for "What is Weed Ashes?" (Salt cured weeds used for bleaching Linen?) on the Down list and thought it might be of interest to this list as well. As you can see from the items below, there are some "good things" here that turns out to be of great interest, at least to me. Genealogy, Archaeology, History, Stories, and Plays, all about the Ireland of old. This should give some of you vivid readers out there, many hours of pleasureable reading in addition to providing you with some worthwhile genealogy related information. The site where the items below came from is at: http://mockingbird.creighton.edu/english/micsun/IrishResources/irishres.htm It certainly made my day and hopefully will you as well!

I have been told that my grandfather John/Jack Lawrence McKigney was born in County Cork possibly Cork Harbor in approximately 1890. He was the son of Patrick McKigney and Ruth. That is the info he listed on his marriage cert to my grandmother in Kentucky, USA in 1922, he stated he was age 32. The family story is that he was from County Cork, His parents and a sister died before he came to US, and that he came to US with an Uncle. His mother may also be a Kathleen, as his daughter was told she was named after his mother. Where is the best place to try to send for records in County Cork? Could you recommend a reliable researcher? Thank you. Janie

Hello list members, I'm somewhat new to researching family trees and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to where I should start researching my ancestors in Ireland. I know that my ggggrandmother, Ellen (nee Roach) Wallace was from County Cork, born December 12, 1835 (at least that is what it says on her death certificate) to John Roach and Catherine Brew. Where should I start in order to find out if she had siblings, where in Co. Cork she was born, more about her parents, etc. Thanks in advance for any information anyone has!! Laura McBride Researching the names: Wallace, Murphy, Roach, McDuffey

Hi folks, Looking for the time and place of marriage of Denis Lordan and Mary Buckley, probably about 1860, in the BANDON area; also their siblings and parents. First known child was Hanna, b. abt. 1862; she married David NOONAN 31 Jan 1891 in Innishannon; I believe their son Daniel Noonan was a postmaster in Bandon. Other children of Denis and Mary: Timothy, 1864, Killinean, Murragh, Bandon; Nora, 1867; Michael, 1869, Ballinadee Parish, Clohane, Innishannon; Denis Francis, 1871, Ballinadee Parish; Mary, 1874, Ballinadee; Daniel, 1877, Ballinadee Parish, Rockhouse. 5 of the children immigrated to Boston, Mass. in the late 1800's; Hanna stayed in Ireland. Thanks! Laura Lordan
