Dick, Current Catholic parish names in Clare are available on the Clare portion of IrelandGenWeb. Parish and townland names have changed over time in many instances. I suggest the following books which discuss some of the older names: The History and Topography of the County of Clare From the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the 18th Century, by James Frost, 1893 the Samuel Lewis book entitled something like " A Topographical Atlas of Ireland" the Ignatius Murphy set of books on Clare covering the 19th century, written as a Killaloe parish history. For the exact titles, consult the archives of this mailing list, which will also have another book written as a parish history of the southwestern part of Clare and is very detailed on parish priests and some parishioners. I obtained all these books through interlibrary loan. Sharon Carberry

Hi Bud, I'm not sure where my McCarthy and Mulcahy people came from. Thats the branch of the family I'm just starting on. I hope to have more info in the near future and I will let you know. I can say that my greatgrandmother was "Annie Mulcahy" was born late 1880s in Ireland and married Joseph McCarthy in NY 1906/7. How does this fit in with your line?

ps. i just looked down through the parish list for county clare and there is only one parish in the county that starts with the letter G

spellings through the years usually are incorrect and i've seen some you would not believe. the only parish near that spelling is gleninagh a parish in co. clare consisting of 4,291 acres in the barony of burren and in the poor law union of ballyvaghn. the burren is on the west coast of clare

Start with http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/county/clare.html and remember that spellings are often phonetic. With that in mind take some time on the Roman Catholic Parish list.. There are a couple that MIGHT help! HTH!

Patrick McDermott, b. 1832 in Mullingar, Westmeath Ireland married Brigget Deegan, b. 1831 in Cty Kilkenny. They are married with three children in 1860 living in Wilmington Delaware. They live in Euclid Ohio,(1866) Hamtramck Michigan,(1870) Warsaw Illinois(1880) and finally settle in Chicago Illinois before 1900. They have three additional children. Patrick had siblings who likely emigrated: Catherine (b. 1834); Bridget (b. 1830), John (b. 1839) and (possibly)Mary (b. 1837). One of these women may have married a NAUGHTON and settled in Chicago, Illinois. In Cleveland Ohio in the 1860 census there is a James CULLEN. He is believe to be related to this family. I am looking to make a connection. His spouse is Anna--and may be a DEEGAN. Is she Bridget's sister? Ginny

>>She immigrated to the US in 1881 and her first husband's surname was Flynn. JMB--NJ USA I am searching for the surname Flynn. My grandfather came here in 1909 from County Leitrim but gives his birthplace as County Cavan. His name was Nicholas Flynn, born 12/18/1880 and the town name was most likely wrong on this petition for citizenship papers. It shows as either Bonlagh or Boulagh but that name doesn't seem to exist. Someone looked the name up in Griffiths valuation and sees Nicholas Flynn listed in the 1850's and said it is a good possibility that is the family and the town name is Boley. I didn't know this would be so hard to search with the information that I had but now see that I really have nothing to go by. Elise Flynn Brenner

Colleen, My suggestion is to check out the Householders Index at your LDS FHC, which is a combined index for the Tithe Applotment and Griffiths Valuation, tax assessment lists done in the 1820s and 1850s, respectively. Look first in Co. Clare, because the names you list are commonly found in that county in the 1800s. Sharon Carberry an East Clare researcher
