You should contact the RC Diocese of Providence - they can give you that info as well as where any records may be archived.
The most useful surviving lists are those made in the country of arrival, not of departure. National Archives staff in Washington. DC, will only search the immigration passenger lists up to 1954 if an inquirer can give the full names and ages of the passenger and of accompanying passengers, the port of entry, the vessel, and exact date of arrival. Requests for searches should be made on NATF Form 81, Order for Copies of Ship Passenger Arrival Records. You can do-it-yourself at the local Family History Centers, especially on the unindexed New York lists. The FHL has acquired 99% of National Archives passenger records. Not all persons who entered the United States appear on the available passenger lists. Some lists were lost. Some ship captains probably did not record all passengers on the lists for one reason or another. Indexers do not always spell names correctly, often because the original version of the name was illegible. Since no index is 100% accurate, the only way to be certain whether or not a name is in the actual record is to search the record itself.

Mathesons Special Report on Surnames of Ireland shows surnames with five or more entries in the birth indexes of 1890, and the main counties in which they were found. The birth rate was 1:44 at that time so you can estimate the number of people of the name at that time. The great value of Matheson's report is that it indicates how common a particular surname is countrywide, provincially and also within a county. The distribution of surnames has not changed significantly since the publication of the Report - so it is reasonable to presume the same pattern prior to 1890. FERGUS is principally found in Mayo, Ellen
HI, How about roots of CUSHNAGHAN, Edward and Daniel, in County Antrim area? Don't find many and the name dies out rather quickly.....changed to CUSHMAN and CUSHING in North America. ANyone know? Thanks Peg Buckman DavePeg@ix.netcom.com .... http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/7401/
Researching the family of Thomas and Mary Manley of Knockawoddy, Roselea, Co Fermanagh. Their 4 sons; Laurence, Thomas, Michael and Peter emigrated to US about 1860-80. I am decendant of Peter, would like any info. on the rest.
Hi, Hope someone can help me. A passenger and immigrants index lists Dennis Hurley (DOB: 09/15/1833) arriving in Boston in 1847. He originated from County Cork. It also shows Mary Higgins (DOB: 07/15/1838) arriving in Boston in 1850. She was supposed to be from Roscommon. The source material listed was The List of Alien Passengers by J.B. Monroe. Does anyone have access to this book and be willing to do a lookup for me? This book is out of print and we don't have much for local libraries (genealogy wise). I will also check with the FHC when I can get there. I will also be checking the FHC for Boston arrivals, but I am curious to see if this book contains any other information. Thanks alot. LaNaye
SUNDAY 28 JUNE 1998 2:10PM Hi, Desiree! You should probably be able to get the Providence, Rhode Island, Catholic church location information that you need from the Catholic Diocese of Providence. Best wishes and God Bless. Rosemary Malloy

Thought I'd re-send another family I'm looking for. Have received great resources from everyone on the list but am looking for anyone else who's researching this family. John WOLFE/WOLF was b. abt.1782 in Co. Cork, Ireland. He married Mary YOUNG (b. 1800 in Co. Cork) in Ireland. They had one daughter Ellen b. 1820 and possibly a daughter Ann b. 1824 and a son Richard b. 1826 in Ireland. They emigrated to Hastings Co., Ontario, CAN near Marmora sometime between 1820 and 1830. They had seven other children in Canada. Children and spouses are: Ellen b. 1820 in Co. Cork m. Robert NEILL/O'NEILL in Canada Ann b. 1824 Cork/Ontario m. Patrick CONNELLY in Canada Richard b. 1826 Cork/Ontario m. Ellen CONNELLY in Canada Mary b. 1830 Ontario m. John O'CONNOR/CONNORS in Canada Nicholas b. 1832 Ontario John b. 7/1836 Ontario m. Anne CASSIDY in Northumberland William b. 1839 Ontario Elizabeth b. 1841 m. Michael O'CONNOR/CONNORS (no relation to John O'CONNOR) Esther b. 1844 m. John Joseph MCCALLUM in Canada Any slight connection on this family would be greatly appreciated.

If there are any records of Irish Immigration in 1849, I would appreciate a look-up on any Lipsett leaving Ireland in 1849, coming to NY, Philadelphia, Boston, or Canada Thank you Tonya
Anyone looking for surname histories might also want to check out this site: http://www.goireland.ie/Genealogy The Surnames of Ireland by MacLysaght states that GAVIGAN / GAVAGAN are forms of the names GEOGHEGAN and GUIGAN and the above site does have histories of Geoghegan and (Mac)Guigan. ----------Pam W. > > > At 06:44 PM 6/27/98 -0400, you wrote: > >If anyone has a copy or has access to a copy of the book "Irish > >Surnames" by Wolf, would you kindly check out the surname GAVAGAN for > >me?

Fran, take a look in our SURNAME RESEARCH CENTER! We have lists of ancient names and what they became, also list of names and where they were most popular in the 11-16th centuries. And maybe someone has sent Gavagan (often spelled with some h's) to the surname list? Start your journey at http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/surname/index.html Happy digging! :) Peace.

My Great Grandmother is a HEVICAN. I have been fortunate to have found a Hevican living in Co. Roscommon. While we have not yet made positive connection we are still researching. I would like to quote from a letter I received from her: There is an item of interest the you may be unaware of, concerning the name "Hevican". The real name is HEVAGHAN. There are three names entered on the surnames of Ireland. O'Hevican, O'Havican, and O'Hevaghan. The Irish for this name is O'Leimheachain, when angelicized becomes "Hevaghan". Now, in the pre-famine times, up to 80% of Irish were illiterate. So when people with the proper name (O'Leimheachain) filled in census forms. it had to be in English. If a family entered "Hevican", then that name stayed with them in english terms. So any family with the Hevican name are almost certained to be related, according to family names of Ireland. published in 1978 by E. Maclysaght. Does sense? Jim Murphy <jimlilmurphy@simflex.com>
While looking through some records for other's, I ran across a John Mc Caughey who died at the age of 75 in Providence, RI May 6, 1884. I don't have the original postings, but is this who we read that touching story about? Parents are not listed but it said he was a Mason and from Ireland. he died of Pneumonia Desiree
