----- Original Message ----- From: Merje94 To: FIANNA-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 12:35 PM Subject: {not a subscriber} I am researching my great, great grandfather, Peter Briody, (b) 8/20/1831and (d) 10/30/1892 in Warrick County, Indiana. His death certificate listed Michael Brady as his father. There were many variations on the spelling of his last name. Our first documented evidence of him is from 1862 when he was wounded in battle during the Civil War at the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky (10/08/1862. We're attempting to find information regarding his immigration into the United States from Ireland. Family stories state that he was born in County Cork, but we have no documentation of that other than written comments from his children. Do you have any suggestions about where I should direct my research? I would so appreciate any help that you can give me. We are at such a dead end. Thank you, Mary Jane

Kevin, May I say that I do admire your skill. The drawing is absolutely wonderful. I think you captured the times and also the dignity that the Irish had. My Irish came over forty or more years later, but I have always been proud how the Irish helped form our Country. Thank You..

Hi Kevin: Great drawing !!! From all that I have read, life must have been hard for the Irish in the 1800's in New York City. I hope that you have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Kevin, You captured the family perfectly and what incredible talent you have. Nolllaigh Shona Duit. Margaret (Mairead)

Well done Kevin! While their lives appear to be spartan and drab indeed, the family is probably much better off than they would have been in Ireland at that time. At least they have some hope for a better future.

Last posting for the year 2002 on my family, hope someone see it and knows someone in this sad family. Thomas CONROY/CONRY b. to Thos.Conroy/Conry and Mary Costello in Co.Mayo cc 1865 Feb. Came to NY and settled in Bklyn, married in Feb 1889 to Mary Flaherty also of Ireland ,co,Galway, They lived on Wallabout and Greene av b/4 marriage. They had 7 children, Mary 1889, Thos 1891,Mich'l 1892, Annie 1894,Nora 1895,Margaret 1897 & Joseph 1901. The story goes that Thos was killed on the docks in Bklyn while working and drowned, never recovered. Did he really died in 1901 or was that a story to cover up him leaving? No death certificate to prove death. Anyone know of this family. Ed Conroy g,son Conroy,Flaherty, Collins, Ford

COLLINS, John "Jack" married to a Helen worked for the A&P WAREHOUSE in NY , had lived on Cent'l av for a time then last known address was 6024 or 6026 Putman av. He had 2 daughter. Anyone that might know of them please e mail us at timlorr@warwick.net Understand they are relatives of the CONROY/FLAHERTY also of Bklyn. Thanks Lorraine Conroy

Hello Everyone, I am new to this list. I was wondering if anyone could help me get a little further in my research. I've hit a brick wall. Here is what I have so far, mostly from the 1900 US Census in NEw Jersey. My g-grandfather, Jeremiah Donegan, and his wife, Ellen (I'm not positive that they were married when they emigrated), emigrated to the US in 1877. Jeremiah's parents, J_____? and Margaret, then emigrated with 2 of their daughters, Margaret and Hannah, in 1879. Margaret states that she was the mother of 11 children, 8 of whom were still alive in 1900. All were born in Ireland. Here are their birthdates as stated on the census: J______? Jan 1827 (could be Joseph but I can't make it out for certain) Margaret Mar 1831 Margaret Sep 1871 Hannah May 1878 Jeremiah Dec 1859 Ellen May 1860 Any help would be much appreciated. I haven't been able to get any farther than this. I've tried searches for these Donegan's in the Irish databases, ship's lists, etc. Thank you Mary

Today I rec'd from the FHC a copy of a marriage certificate for Andrew FLAHERTY & May Irene SCHELLING of Brooklyn. Andrew 21, lived at 511 Throop av & May 18, lived at 158 Jefferson av. Andrew's parents were John Flaherty & Margaret Costello, May's parents were Adam Schelling & Christnia Raggi( hard to read) cert # 16280 K. They were married Dec 21st, 1919 at the church of Nativity, Bklyn. Witness were Arthur Schelling & Bessie Schumm. Cost to me was $2.00. Anyone who wants to claim this cert, let me know, I am looking for Andrew Faherty & Margaret's marriages cert. Lorraine Conroy

Members, I received the post below from Michael Green. He asked that I post it to the list. Hi Tommy, "someone is sending out fake email addresses that look as if they are from us. We NEVER send such idiotic emails! We would never include a postal address either. We are in dispute with a web site over a copyright issue and this is their way of getting back at us! I'd be obliged if you let your list(s) know about this. thanks for letting us know," best regards, Michael.

Hi everyone The following records have been added to the Lurgan Ancestry website. www.lurganancestry.net 1. Lurgan people who died during WW2. 1939 to 1945 (approx. 100 names) 2.

Regards Martin McGoldrick. Lurgan Ancestry.

Hoping someone will see something familiar in the following: CONROY/CONRY Martin CONRY, b cc 1810 d Feb 1885 ,He lived in Nympsfield,(Cong), Mayo was a farmer & laborer. He m Kate. b. cc 1814 d, June 1884; Children: Thomas b 1839 d unmarried 1865. Mary m. Mich'l Elwood, they had Anthony b 1878, Thomas 1880,d 1889,Bridget 1883, Mary 1885 d, 1899 Anne b 1887, d 1897 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Thomas Conry b 1820 d 1885 was a farmer in Nympsfield & m Mary Costello b 1819, d 1884; Children; James b ????, Thomas b. March 1865, If this is our Thomas than he married Mary Flaherty in 1889 in Brooklyn, NY. Conry/Conroy lived and worked in Cong, digging the Lough Mask to Lough Corrib canal in 1840-50. This could explain the why Thomas jr was a dock worker in Bklyn. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ Michael Joseph Conroy was a sponsor at one of Thomas's children in Bklyn in 1897. Hoping someone see something here that could help shed some light on our Conroy family. Thanks Ed Conroy. my g.father was Thomas Conroy
