Susan: I saw your note on the Fianna mailing list.I have no Hennessy info but my people come from County Clare, too. It's good to know who else is researching there. DO you know which townland(s), parishes, etc? Mine are from the parishes of Quin and Kilfintinan(later Cratloe) 1820s to 1850s. East Clare. They migrated to Australia, not USA. Some Co Clare parish records are on microfilm in the Mormon family history centres. 1901 census seesm to be a good source of info. Good luck Maria in Hobart Tasmania marmarbrandl@trump.net.au Researching GARVEY FLANNERY COLLINS CARMODY GLEESON BERMINGHAM DONNELLAN in County Clare
