Is anyone researching the name Suppel, in Co. Cork? Margaret Supple was born in Co. Cork, abt. 1862 to Wm. Supple and Mary O'Sullivan. Mary Supple, and her daughter Margaret are later found in Ohio on our 1880 U.S. Census. I have found the name Supple on The Griffiths Valuation in the civil parishes of Ballyclogh, Kilshannig, Dromdowney, Carrigaline, and Inchigeelagh, but have not been able to go beyond that. Is anyone researching in these area's, or have suggestions how I might get further, such as the church records for these area's? Would the Mormon Library be my next try? I am going to Ireland in October, and would very much like to find out where the Supple's were from in Cork. I hope to have at least a civil parish, before I go, so I can research further in their records at the National Library, in Dublin. I believe they have all of the R.C. Church records for Cork. If anyone has been to the National Library, I would appreciate any tips you have on doing research there. If you like, you can email me at my email address. rmoore5986@aol.com Thank you for any help or suggestion you can give. Rose

Rose, The first thing you do, either here or in Ireland, is purchase a copy of "Tracing Your Irish Ancestors" by John Grenham. It will have everything you wish to know about records in the various counties but especially the microfilm numbers in the National Library for the various locations. With the film numbers in hand you can walk into the National Library (no admission fee) and tell the Guard at the entrance in the lobby you are going to Genealogy. Go up a few steps and turn to the room on your right. Go through into the inner section where you should see a box or container which will have necklace-chain type ID cards for Genealogy. If you cannot find the container ask someone but there should be no need to talk to anyone otherwise. If you do not do this or if you do not have the pertinent information relative to the films you will have to wait in line to get your ID and have your questions answered. Continue upstairs and turn to you right. Go through the door on your left and sign in on the book, at the Front Desk, on the countertop to your right. Turn around and go across the floor to the Microfilm Room. Find a working Microfilm Reader, note the number relating to it on the desk. Turn on its light, place your belongings on the chair and return to the front desk. Pick up no more than three request forms. They should be on the countertop to the left side. Fill in the information relative to the films, one request per form, including the number of the microfilm reader where you will be seated and turn them in to anyone behind the front desk. Return to the Microfilm Room and sit down and within 20 minutes someone will return with the microfilms. You will be asked which film you wish to look at first and the remainder will be returned to the front desk. When you have finished with the first film return to the front desk and exchange it for the next film. The do the same with the next film. If you are looking at more than three films a day, now would be the time to request no more than 2 films but ask that they stay at the desk until you return the one you have. That is all there is to it. The entire service is free. Keep in mind that Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the library is open from 10 am to 9 pm; Thursday and Friday 10 am to 5pm. In addition I believe there were Supples in the Ballydehob & Schull region because I saw a death notice in that name in May of this year. Good luck with your research! Bill Fahy

Bill, You should run charabanc trips up there :-) Regards, Donnacha ----- Original Message ----- From: "William P.

I have done a little research on Supple not because I have any in my family but because they were landlords to some of my family. You can find it on this site http://www.sci.net.au/userpages/mgrogan/cork/supple.htm Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: <RMoore5986@aol.com> To: <CountyCork-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 12:45 PM Subject: [Cork] Suppel's in Co.
