I've have been researching the US State Department records at the US National Archives. These paper documents frequently identify the townland connected to a person as well as a location in the United States and names of relatives. These records only exist for a small number of Irish people and only for limited years. I have transcribed the names, places and dates from - 190 reports of the death of American Citizen who died in Ireland 1910-1928 posted 31 Dec 2009 - 670 registration of American citizens living in Ireland 1907-1928 posted Nov 2009 The web site location is http://sites.google.com/site/irishgleanings/ Look to the left side and click on the entry "Extracts from the reports on the deaths of American Citizens in Ireland 1910-1929." There can be a few documents earlier than the listed beginning year or later than the listed end year. Perhaps you will find a connection to a person you are searching. Use the search function of the web browser to locate names and places. If you don't find your ancestor listed search for their brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles or cousins. Some of these people seem to have returned to Ireland for their permanent residence so their descendants may live in Ireland today. Hope this helps your search. Regards, Sheila irishgen2009@gmail.com
