I was so excited about finding aunt Eleanor McCarty on the will index I had ordered at the FHC the other night that I forgot to offer to do lookups on it this month before the film goes back. I noticed wills leaving estates ranging from L15 up to L2000, and it included farmers although not farm laborers. Please put Will Lookup in your request to me and indicate place of death, occupation if you know it, spouse, etc, if it is a very common name. The person should have died between the end of 1914 up until Nov 1916. Please only ask for lookups if you are pretty sure the person died within these dates and could have left a will. It includes all of Ireland, not just Cork. Now, does anyone know where the Cork copies of wills were kept when they sent the originals up to Dublin (where they burned in 1922)?

I need a death date for a married women, say 1850-1860, north county Cork. I assume this women to be Catholic and realized Catholic registration did not start until 1864, but don't want to overlook the possibility she may not have been. Any suggestions as to where and what records I should be looking for? Thanks, Jim

If you have an LDS Family History Centre near where you live, you could try searching the yearly indexes to civil registration of births in Ireland around the years of interest. If the Centre does not have the films in stock they'll order for you at very little cost. The indexes give first and surname, registration district, and volume and page number in which the full entry can be found. The births indexes which start in 1864, won't give you the father's first name, but perhaps Brett is not that common a name in Cork? A photocopy of the entry in the civil registers from Dublin GRO costs about $1.50 (US).

Hello Listers There is a wonderful site called "Online Irish Names Research Directory". I am sure quite a few listers already know of it but for those that don't here is the link: http://www.users.on.net/proformat/irlnames.html Regards Jim McCarthy

I received an email from another researcher who mentioned a book, "Wexford Families", by Hilary Murphey.....as having a section by the title of "Peirce/Pierce/Pearce" .... Does anyone on the list have the book? Or know where I can obtain a copy? Or might be willing to copy the section on the Peirce family for me? My Peirce/Pierce/Pearce (spelled all three ways at times) line is in County Cork in the 1600s, and many of the descendants are still there in the late 1800s.....some have by then emigrated to America. <>< Doris....A Texan in Georgia.....

Hello, My ggg grandfather Denis O'Sullivan (Beare) emigrated from Bandon to America in the 1830s with his wife Ellen Crowley and their children. Denis and Ellen married in Bandon in 1825. They had the following children: Denis b. 1826, Ellen Mary (my gg grandmother) b. 1829, Elizabeth b. 1830, Charles b. 1831 and Richard b. 1833. I have no info on the elder Denis' parents, but Ellen Crowley's parents were Charles Crowley and Elizabeth Lucey. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might have any information on this branch of my family. Thanks. Sincerely, Rick Steigelman

Hi all I am looking for anyone with a connection to the Enright Family of Knockatoumpane and Tullylease. They were weavers and some moved to Knockatoumpane and Tullylease from Feenagh Co Limerick, before immigrating to Australia. Michael and John were brothers and possibly born around the 1830's. Ancestors are buried in the Cemetery at Castletown Conyers, Co Limerick, so even though they moved away they seemed to come back to that area for burial. Possibly indicating that Feenagh Co Lim, was their family base.

Hi Everyone: I have discovered the more you research, the more surprises you encounter! In reviewing Phillimore's marriages for Cornwall, Parish of Saint Just-In-Penwith, 1600s, I came across an entry for "Richard Edy, alias Ustick". There were many entries for Edy and its variations and Ustick and its variations. I have been looking for two Eedy brothers - Jonathan and Nicholas who were supposedly with Cromwell's foot soldiers. Upon further research I have discovered two entries in the Index of Protestation Returns, Liskeard Registration District, Cornwall, 1642 -- one for a John Eade and one for a Nicholas Eustis. [This index is found at www.cornish-ancestors.co.uk/Protestation%20Returns/index_protestation_returns.htm] Further research of the 1659 census for County Cork, notes that a Eustace was recorded in one of the following locations - "Youghal, The Towne of Moyalle, the Barrony of Kinalea". (Individuals are not named, only the "tituladoes" name .) Is anyone familiar with the name Ustice, Eustice, Eustace, especially as a variation of Eedy, Eady, Edy? regards, Susan Eddy Cobourg, Ontario, Canada

Known: Patrick DRISCOLL and Ellen O'BRIEN came from Ireland and had Mary Ellen DRISCOLL and others in Connecticut around 1905. Assumed (by frequency of surnames, they were from County Cork). Found: A ? DRISCOLL married Catherine LEARY in Cork. Had Johanna Elizabeth in 1884, Mary, Patrick, and Jack. Mary and Patrick went to Hartford, CT area. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO THAT MAY HELP DETERMINE IF THERE IS OR IS NOT A LINK TO THIS PATRICK. Additional info.....just learned that Mary Ellen's parents had some relation with Mary Ellen's husbands parents. Already knew that Mary Ellen (b:1904) was married to Harry McINTYRE (b:1909 Cromwell, CT). His father was James McINTYRE (b:1871 CT). James' godmother was Frances Leary. James' father was Patrick McINTYRE (b: 1835 Co. Cavan), and we believe he had a sister Bridget, who married James Leary (thery lived and were buried next to Patrick McIntyre). Let me know Pete Hanson
