    2. I have been trying very hard to find out information on a family in Fermanagh (for about three years). On the birth certificate (Ireland) the daughter it is shown as: Annie Kate Kellagher, born 01/11/1910 at Moher, FlorenceCourt, Enniskillen with parents Patrick Kellagher (farmer)/mother Lizzie Kellagher, formerly McBrien; however, on the birth certificate (U.S.) it is shown as Annie is shown as mother: Anna Kelleher. Further adoption information states Annie's mother as "Elizabeth" and the name as Kelleher who arrived in the US in 3/1930; however age on birth certificate (U.S.) is 24 years old. Annie also stated that she was born in Fermanagh, Kinawley County. My questions are these: 1) Was it common for people to fabricate dates, etc. when arriving to the U.S. (no proof of anything required?) 2) Why can't I seem to find ANYTHING in Fermanagh for Kellagher, Kelleher when it shows it on Annie's birth certificate. 3) Can anyone help me with any of this? please? I can't seem to locate Patrick or Lizzie's Birth Certificates or any of Annie's siblings (one of whom she came to live with on Long Island, NY), marriage certificates, death certificates, etc. Nothing, zilch, nada...from Ireland or from New York City (Brooklyn last address) I will be more than happy to help anyone out with research in the United States. I am living in Tampa, Florida and if there is something I can look up on this end, I would be glad to do so... I would appreciate ANY help at all that you might be able to offer me! Thank you in advance! Dorcie Storms [email protected]
