Just thought I would post one more time just in case someone might of missed my first post. I am not familiar with Ireland and am having a hard time finding my way around. Although I did have help from Oscar and I found the ship which may be my McCOLLUM, but he is married to someone no one in the family has ever mentioned before. That's besides the point, I am looking for his parents and siblings. All I have to go on is that the father's last name is McCOLLUM and the mothers was either SHARP or SHARPE. I was told that she spent time in the Northern part of Ireland known as the Orange Section. How do I find out census, births, marriages and such in Ireland? Do they even have Census for Ireland? Plus it takes me forever just to go through the census since I don't have the fast connection. Like I said I am a complete num. when it comes to geography...a capital F. Really you guys, I failed it in High School, not proud of it, just that it is something I could never get interested in. Now I wish I would have. Can anyone give a helping hand? God Bless Pam
