Hi: My name is Lynn D. Mancuso and I am originally from New Orleans, La. Now residing about 20 minutes from there across the Mississippi River in a little town called Westwego. Yes, its west from New Orleans. I have BEEN TRYING for ten years to find any new info on my great, great grandmother CATHERINE FLEMING/FLEMMING. She came from (as the family story says) County Cork, Ireland. (I didn't know enough about genealogy back when I first got this data to ask for a more specific county). She married in New Orleans (I am assuming since all my other relatives living during her time frame married in New Orleans). She married approximately during 1860 to 1870 (if she followed the path of my other relatives during that time frame). She married Michael Murray and what info I found I'm not sure if I have the correct Michael Murray but I believe I do because of the sources I've used to trace him through her. I believe him to be a cooper but I don 't have his exact date of death at my fingertips. I suspect that CATHERINE FLEMINGs father may have been a doctor. But the only info I have on him list him only as Dr. Fleming. CATHERINE's obit states that she was a member of the DAR. I called them but they had no records on her. It also stated that she was in the Junior League (I'm assuming the Jr. League of New Orleans). So she was a lady of means. Does anyone know if a cooper could have afforded to have a wife of this stature or was this money she had prior to her marriage? I need to find records in County Cork for approximately 1841. Are any church or civil records available for this time frame or have they all been lost? How many counties are in County cork? I recently found my Mancuso's in their commune in Italy by writing to the Catholic church. Luckily it was the first church I wrote to........ I have had more luck getting church records from other places and not state records.....anyone else? ANYONE ELSE TRACING FLEMINGS/ Flemings in Louisiana? Sincerely, Lynn
