Greetings from Sunny Texas, My wife's maiden name is Casey. The other day as I was going through some of her family memorabilia I found an account of their O'Casey clan written by Sean O'Casey-Mullingar. Some of the names in north Co. Cork go back to 1690. Unfortunately while there are several families delineated, there are few dates with which one can associate them. The manuscript is in 2 parts and includes 2 title pages, 8 typewritten pages of family history and an additional 4 pages of handwritten notes which take some effort to read. The question then is, "Is anyone out there interested in reading this manuscript?" Followed by, "If so, how to disseminate this manuscript?" I can scan it, but is there a genealogy site upon which to post it? Could it be posted in parts here? Dunno. Your thoughts? Merry Christmas and good hunting, Cliff.

Molly Hi Molly: Please don't write to every Parish Priest in County Cork asking them to spend hours looking up information for you, especially a name so common as Murphy. Parish Priests have better things to do than spend their days on wild goose chases for people who don't know which parish their relations come from. When I was doing my research in various parishes in Cork in the late 90's, several Priests would mention all the letters they received from "Yanks" asking them to go through their records in search of ancestors "just in case they came from their parish." They responded to none of them unless there was some grease ($$$$$) in the envelope. Money still talks. I made it a point to not only do my own research once given access to the books at the parish, but to leave a nice donation with the Parish Priest upon my departure. I know for a fact that few local researchers do that from comments made by more than one Parish Priest. I have some Murphy and Fitzgerald info I will send you directly. It is available on the Rootsweb web site, which would be a good place for you to do some research. Merry Christmas.

Hi Bill, Yes, I have seen these but haven't as yet been able to match up all the pieces. I recall my grandparents talking about the family when I was very young. I vaguely remember a "George" mentioned. The family of George Henry Rawlins and Harriet Orr Rawlins had a number of children. One of their sons, also a George Henry had a son named Samuel born circa 1884. Apparently, Harriet had a brother Samuel. As for George and Mary Rollins....I would love to know more about them. One real problem for me is that my Samuel left Ireland on the Tripoli when he was in his early 20s. He also spent several years "at sea" before settling down in the US. I have not been able to find a marriage record for him in Brooklyn. Many of the records that have been found for the children of George and Harriet Rawlins center around their marriage announcements and subsequent baptisms of children. I keep hoping that searching possible "collateral lines" may turn up clues. Thanks so much for the info. Have a wonderful holiday!!

Molly, One answer to your question is to go to Ireland. Frustrated by the lack of records outside Ireland, I made a trip to Dublin in 2003. My first stop was the National Library. I had prior knowledge that my mother's family (Cotter) came from Schull Parish in the far west. The expert on duty in the Genealogy Room pointed me to the microfilm for the Catholic parish at Schull. I succeeded in finding records for my great-grandfather William Cotter (1840-1891), his wife, Mary Collins (1843-1925), their parents, and several siblings. Mary Collins parents were Bartholomew Collins (1811 - 1896) and Johanna Hegarty (1817-1904). It was a pleasant surprise to find the Collins and Hegartys in the Schull records. The microfilm was quite legible, and I found many birth and marriage records for these families. I spent three days perusing Baptism and marriage records, which go back to 1809. >From the web site of the Diocese of Cork and Ross (http://www.corkandross.org/html/history/genealogy.jsp): "All of the baptism records prior to 1890 for Cork County have been micro-filmed by the National Library (www.nli.ie) and written permission is not required from the priests of any Cork County parish to browse these films." The Online Record Search System of the Irish Family History Foundation (http://www.brsgenealogy.com/) sounds wonderful, but it is not yet extensive. I submitted several queries for births in County Antrim for which I have documented verification from Presbyterian Church records obtained at PRONI, and in every case the response was: " No records were returned for the search criteria given. Please refine your search and try again. " Same for records from the church at Schull. Meanwhile, Ireland is a wonderful place to visit.

A visit might be my solution as well. After several years working on finding the family of my great great grandfather, Samuel Rawlins...including working rather extensively with a researcher...I have not been able to link him to his proper roots. I have a few strong possibilities, including learning more about the family of George Henry Rawlins of Durrus and Ballinadee but until more records for Cork become available, I am "stuck". Unless of course, I get a Christmas wish and find a cousin or two with family info. Merry ...merry....merry....

Hi Geoff - this seems to be part of the Irish Family History Foundation which covers many of the counties of Ireland and operates through the county Heritage Centres. (HQ does appear to be Newbridge). You can look at their coverage and other information at: http://www.brsgenealogy.com/ or http://www.rootsireland.ie/ (renamed website) It is free to register and search but to view actual entries will cost 5 Euro per entry. Many listers will have used the search facility, often with success. However unless you have fairly specific search details it can be expensive. Hope that helps a little.

Merry Christmas to all. I like reading all the information pulled from County Cork. However, my husband's Murphy and Fitzgerald lines come from South County Cork. His gggrandparents were married in St Peters and Paul but their first born daughter was baptized in another church. After that they immigrated to America. Are there records online for South County Cork or do I just start writing each Catholic church I can find? A gentle shove in the right direction would certainly help. The Baptism would have ocurred around 1849. I appreciate any help. Happy New Year. Molly

Thanks Margaret. It is the parents names I need. Saved me some money knowing that.
