Maureen, Reference: Boyle in Cty Donegal All BMD's should be in the civil registration Index and Registers for Ireland starting in 1864, (1845 for CofI, Non RC marriages and even then some are listed). First visit the LDS Family Search.org website (URLs listed below, some are TinyURLs) and do a check for your people. The new FS site has most of the Ireland Index data on-line. Next I would visit your local Family History Centre at the LDS church in your area. The staff will be able to assist you with your research. The above is probably the easiest method and the less expensive avenue to take.

I have a few questions maybe someone hopefully could answer. While searching through the passenger list I found my grandmother Ellen Sweeney Conroy returning with my mother Anna who was about 1 1/2 at the time from Ireland in August 1914 to Ellis Island. Now their names were crossed off. Does that mean that they intended to board the ship to come back to USA and did not? I cannot find them returning at a later time. Yet I know they had to within the next few months. Found the info on Ancestry.com Also where would I find passenger lists leaving NY or Philadelphia to Ireland? When they landed in Londonderry was there a form they needed to fill that would have more info about where they were going in Donegal to see her father Daniel Sweeney? Originally from Cor Point Lettermacaward Daniel born about 1854 wasn't there then and cannot find him in any of the Census. Thanks in advance for any information. Pat
