Linda, I don’t know of any current townland in Fermanagh with the name Buchanan in it. However, there was an old castle in the current townland of Rathmoran which I’ve seen recorded as Buchanan's Castle. As it was very common for landlords at the time to rename the estate after themselves, it is possible that an area was called that as some time in history, but then reverted back to the original name. There is a John Buchanan living in Rathmoran on the GV. Unfortunately links to the GV never seem to work for me, but just do a placename search for Rathmoran.

I believe this to be correct. You guys will probably cause me to start sobbing in shame at my complete and total ignorance. I base this on that letter. (I am joking, I am joking) What I do not know is the name of the parents of these guys. The sons who came to America were James, tombstone says 1813-1895. He died in Allamakee County, Iowa. His wife was Catherine Carroll. Hie eldest son John was born in New York in 1850.. Charles my great grandfather, tombstone says 1814-1896 says in the census he arrived in America in 1846, bought land in Iowa in 1856 but went back to New York and married my great grandmother Johanna Butler in 1857 (Her father was the railroad foreman). I believe she was 14. They then went to Iowa. I do not find this a noble thing about my great grandfather. His eldest son John (my grandfather) was born in 1862 in Allamakee County, Iowa John was born about 1816 He came to Allamakee County Iowa with his wife Mary, born in Ireland. His wife and daughter Sarah died in 1881 and he took his family back to Ireland, stayed there about twenty years and went to Boston. I have NO idea when and where he died and really no idea where to look for his children. I suppose I should look for children (Mary and John, so helpful names) born in the USA in Ireland in the censuses. John Baxter is a pretty common name and Boston is a big city. Thomas in Ireland born about 1815, died 1903 or 1904 Mary or Elizabeth married a man name Reilly and did not reproduce, so this is a person of no consequence, as indicated in the letter. Sob. Patrick died December 1909 son John born in 1873. I believe that he is the man who wrote the letter. Robert lived from about 1830-1866. And that is the information of which I feel somewhat secure. The one who went to Boston sort of drives me insane. I do want you to know I have spent many hours trying to understand all of this! -- Kathy Baxter, feeling that the promised land may be in sight.

Griffiths lists 208 hits for surname Burtchaell - some as tenants others as landlords. Mostly hits in Kilkenny and Carlow. I would check out the various townlands where these families lived to see if there is a close match to Buchanan or could be mis-transcribed as. If nothing matches you can try to see if any of the townland listed have had their name changed over the years. Also as we have seen not to long ago there are "sub" townlands/locations within townlands which locals know but which are not to be found in townland lists.

Basics to you are not so basic or obvious to me. I have been pretty much terrified of Irish genealogy and know more about every single branch of my family than I do of the Baxters.

Kathy, do you have a tree on Ancestry or FamilySearch? As others have mentioned they can be problematic and overwhelming as there is SO much info out there, a lot of it wrong. I just found a ggggm of dh's who, according to one Ancestry tree, was born the year after she was married (!) Still they are great resources and the group here will be happy to help and advise. When I was starting on my tree, I found it helpful to print a schema of all the people I DID know about and then take them one by one, making notes in a separate file of every lead I had already followed and copies of emails I had found helpful.

Well you've a pretty handy tree with the stuff in letters, the 1919 death cert should then name the father so in one foul swoop you're back to very early 1800's.. so if Patk was born 1830 then using guesstimates his Parent's married c. 1820 so quite possibly got a Lease c.1820... then if you guesstimate this father's age @ 25 a Lease c. 1795 etc then check were any Leases registered in Wills/Deeds? or Estate papers? You only have to check upcoming RC records for 1919 to see where he's buried then look for g/stone if any or other burials etc for Baxter in the records. They seem to have been settled there over generations which is handy. DH On 13/05/2015 01:07, Kathleen Baxter via wrote: > I am going to have to sort this all out in my brain tomorrow.

My father was born in Kilkeeny but the registry office was in Co. Carlow for his area, he was born Paulstown Castle, which is near the Burtchaells so possibly similar situation??

Well before anyone adds someone.... Patk died 1919 and was age 89 (?)... and the Will (as such) is Letter of Admin, his son John was on land aged 60 something in 1930's (per letter!). so one has birth year for Patk who was the youngest... he had a brother who died age 30, so wherever he fell in line among the sons one can guesstimated his birth abd death ... another died age 28 (?) or whatever so one can at least guesstimate the time line THEN go looking for them.... Patk who died in 1919 would be on both Census, what do they say? Was wife alive on them? Did they apply for Pension? Patk died 1919, buried where?

Has anyone heard of a town or village or barony or parish (or anything) named Buchanan?  I'm looking at a Chicago death certificate from 1928.  I'd swear it says the deceased Kate Burtchaell's parents were born in Buchanan (or maybe it says Bachanan).  I have always understood that her father Archdall was from Kilkenny, although he may have been born in Carlow. Her mother Maria Doyle, on the other hand, is a complete mystery to her Canadian descendants. I went to the site on Irish place names that someone recently kindly posted. http://www.irish-place-names.com/ The only Buchanan I could find is listed as Tattykeel (Buchanan) in Tyrone.  So when I googled Tattykeel (Buchanan) I found this link to Ask About Ireland which gave me these Griffiths listings for the town in Tyrone.  Going deeper into that site, it gives me a list of residents, and there isn't a Burtchaell or a Doyle among them:http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=doPlaceSearch&Submit.x=31&Submit.y=10&Submit&freetext=Tattykeel&countyname=Tyrone&baronyname=&unionname=&parishname=Drumragh  Can anyone make any suggestions or share any information?

Thank you George for all the transcriptions you have done and donated so generous of your time and effort. Without records transcribed and freely available on line many people would be stuck with the records of their grandparents from oral memories only. Your contribution to the genealogical records for Fermanagh are monumental and appreciated by members of this list in particular and Fermanagh researchers in general THANK YOU. Viola
