Does anyone happen to know if Garryvoe Cemetery, which is not to far from Ballycotton, has been transcribed? Thanks, Kay

I just received in the mail a birth registry from Ireland Records. It has the birth as taken place at: Abbey House North Mall County Cork The father's residence was Lombardstown, Mallow. I have search a couple of web sites and search engines as well as a Discovery Ordnance map and can not find North Mall. Could it be just referring to the north part of Mallow? Thank you, Larry email me at larryamiller@isualum.com

Hi Larry, For what it's worth there is an Abbey house in North Abbey Street off the North Mall in Cork City. Brendan Jones. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry A.

This was found at the Eagle County Colorado GenWeb site http://www.rootsweb.com/~coeagle/s-obits.html#SU 19 Aug. 1927, Eagle Valley Enterprise, p1 SULLIVAN, Jerry - Pneumonia Claims Respected Citizen of Eagle---Was in Employ of Rio Grande Railroad For 33 Years. The death of Jerry SULLIVAN came as a shock to this community, where he had lived and been respected for seventeen years. He had been sick but a week and had been taken to the Rio Grande hospital in Salida a few days before his death, which occurred last Friday, August 12. Born in Monee, Cork County, Ireland, November 20, 1874, he migrated to the United States about 38 years ago, while still a young man. He first went to Detroit, Mich., and a few years later came west to Colorado, where he first entered the service of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad April 21 1894. Twenty-nine years of that 33 years of service for one employer had been spent in Eagle county. For seven years he was at Red Cliff, when he was transferred to Gypsum. After five years as foreman of track maintenance at the latter place, he was sent to Eagle, where he remained until the day of his death. Mr. SULLIVAN was married to Miss Nora SEXTON, in the St. Stephens church at Glenwood Springs, Colo., June 23 1900. To this marriage were born three children, who survive their father and mother---Misses Nora and Nellie SULLIVAN and Patrick SULLIVAN, all of whom now live in Eagle. Mrs. SULLIVAN preceded her husband in death about two years ago. The funeral services were held in Glenwood Springs Monday, August 15, conducted by Father J. P. CARRIGAN, of the Catholic church, of which the deceased was a devout member all his life. The body was laid to rest beside that of his beloved wife, in the Glenwood cemetery. Besides the three children, of the near relatives, Mr. SULLIVAN is survived by two sisters, one of whom still lives in Ireland and the other in this country; four brothers, one of whom is a citizen of the United States, one living in Australia, and the other two in the old country. Jerry SULLIVAN was a kind and considerate husband and father, a loyal citizen of his adopted country and town, a faithful employee of the railroad for which he spent the best part of his life, and the universe has lost a splendid citizen in the passing of a good man. I am related to this line via Jerry Sullivan's wife, Nora Sexton, parents John Sexton and Kit (Catherine?) Cogan or Goggin. Jeanette __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Just a note... When I was in Sligo, the locals told me the cemetery/church ruins at Taunagh, Riverstown, was originally RC. Somewhere around famine time it was "taken over" by the CI. The CI added an entry and a plaque to their minister there, but inside the older part was a holy water fountain carved into the rock wall. That tells you that it was originally RC! There were both RCatholic and CI buried there, but in different areas. I encountered the same thing in Co. Sligo at Inver. I guess the message is, "Don't pass over records because they are listed under a different church denomination."

Tony McCarthy & Tim Cadogan in 'Tracing Your Cork Ancestors' gives some excellent RC and CI parish register bdm date availability tables, excellent civil parish maps and a useful comparator table showing the Civil, RC and CI parishes side by side. In the comparator table the CI Dromtarriff parish is shown alongside Dromtarriff Civil and Dromtarriff RC parishes on one line. On another Dromtarriff CI is shown with Drishane Civil and Drishane RC parishes. And on a third line Dromtarriff CI parish is shown with Cullen (Duhallow) Civil parish and Drishane RC parish again.. Each of these are respecting a separate Civil area in the Civil parish maps in NW Cork, to show how they overlap. It looks as if the CI parish of Dromtarriff covers the civil parishes of Cullen, Drishane and Dromtarriff, and also the RC parishes of Drishane and Dromtarriff, get it! Just to confuse matters Drishane Rc parish is now known as Millstreet! It would be nice to hear where the RC parish church is located in the RC Dromtarriff parish please. I have traced the church name as St Johns, and the home of the RC parish priest in Dromagh. Would the church be there and if so where is Dromagh with relation to say Millstreet please.

Would the church be there and if so where is Dromagh with relation to say Millstreet please. >> Alfred, Now I'm back on more comfortable ground. As you may have noticed from the URL in my last letter, regarding Dromtariffe RC parish; there are two parish churches shown in the parish - Dernagree and Dromagh. Both of these towns lie right along (more or less) the N 72 highway. Dernagree is about 4 miles N by NNE of Millstreet, while Dromagh is about 3 miles east of Dernagree...........and about 6 miles NE of Millstreet. I don't know which one (if either) would be the one to contact. Sorry. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts

I assume you found a reference on the IGI in which case you have already been very lucky, it's unusual to find any parish records this old (but not impossible). For the City you could try Cork City Ancestral Project c/o County Library Farranlea Road Cork City Ireland or Mallow Heritage Centre for the diocese of Cloyne http://www.mayo-ireland.ie/geneal/Cork.htm If the IGI record references a microfilm in the range 823801-9 then the record has been extracted from Casey and not direct from the parish register, if that is the case you should order the film rather than contacting the organisations above Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathryn L.

I have written to a Parish Priest in Ireland regarding my MAHONEY family,my question is, does anyone know if they answer queries even if they cannot find the information or name that the writer is enquiring about????????????? Anxious for a reply, Carole in Canada.

I was browsing through the Dioceses on the Web, and noticed that the RC Diocese of Kerry includes part of Co. Cork - including Dromtariffe Parish. Their webpage, at: >> http://www.dioceseofkerry.ie/parish25.htm <<< shows time for services, confessions, etc. at their Derrinagree and Dromagh (Co. Cork) parish churches. Perhaps someone should tell them that there is no Dromtariffe parish. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts

Charles at xctuckerx@adelphia.net writes: >> He does list all Parishes of RC religion and Dromtarrif is not listed. I think that here is (perhaps) where the difficulty lies.......in the use of the present tense. The information I have on the RC Parish of Dromtarriff, courtesy of local.ie, includes RC parish maps for all of the counties "displaying Roman Catholic parishes of the nineteenth century". The URL is: >> http://www.local.ie/content/54693.shtml/genealogy/family_history_maps This was obviously done because most Irish genealogy researchers are actively involved in that time period, and these maps would be more useful than current ones. (I probably should have stayed out of this entirely, as I almost never use RC parishes in my own "work" and know little about them or their year-to-year stability).
