This is how I find the RC parish, if I know the townland. 1. Go to the following website to find the civil parish: http://www.seanruad.com This website is a database of all the townlands listed in the 1851 Ireland census, so remember names change, borders change, but this will give you a good idea about where your townland is located. Also, remember that this database is quite strict when doing a search. So, if you spell the name wrong, don't put a capital on the first letter, you may not be able to find your information. Check out the SEARCH METHOD, if you can't find your townland. If you know the beginning or ending of the townland's name, try those options. 2. After you get the civil parish, barony and poor law union, you can use a some other resources, here are a few. --Book, 'A Guide to Irish Parish Register' by Brian Mitchell. This book is arranged by county. You go to the county, look up the civil parish and it will give you the RC parish and the dates of available records. However, if there are more than one RC parish in the civil parish, you won't get a definite answer here. --Book, 'Irish Records, Sources for Family and Local History' by James Ryan. This book also is arranged by county, and gives the civil parish and corresponding RC parishes and dates of available records. At the end of each county chapter, there are civil parish maps but like the above book, if there are more than one RC parish in the civil parish, you won't be able to use this source to figure out what your RC parish. --Book, 'A New Genalogical Atlas of Ireland, 2nd Edition' by Brian Mitchell. This is a book of maps for each county. Not only does it have the civil parish, barony and poor law union maps but also have RC parish maps. (For some of the northern counties, there are also Presbyterian Congregation maps.) When there are more than one RC parish in a civil parish, if you use the barony and poor law union information that you obtained from the SeanRuad website to figure out the RC parish. NOTE: The 1st edition of this book does NOT have RC parish maps. If you don't have any of these books, how else can you figure out the RC parish? 1. Use google to find a website that may give you the information. 2 Use the Catholic Ireland website index: http://www.catholicireland.net/parishes/index.php 3.

Looking for family of John EDWARD McCORMACK of Co Cork b. 3/1828. He was possible a druggest and we suspect he had a brother named THOMAS NICHOLAS (ended up in KY). Edward married JOHANNA GLEESON(lim) in Toronto Canada 1856 and then to the USA in 1860.Thanks Jane

Thank you to everyone that has graciously responded. I am very hopeful that a course of research may be forthcoming! A few people asked the following: " Have you tried the shipping records into Canada? Does his marriage certificate give details of his birthplace? Does his death certificate give details of his birth area?" Response: The marriage certificate from St. James Cathedral, just list Henry Williams as being born Ireland and where he lived in York, as with his wife. St. James Cathedral was very helpful. I have been unable to find any ships list that have him on it. I have been unable to find an obituary or death certificate. I believe he died out of area with one of the two adult married daughters that I have been unable to find. His wife and at least 9 children are buried in a S.I. abandoned cemetery. Each one of their death certificates list him as "born Ireland" wife "born NY". Lynn Friends of Abandoned Cemeteries, Inc. S.I.

There is a St James Cathedral in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Google them. They probably have records.

Hi Everyone, Today is the first day I have been back online since before the 17th of March. I'm here in the warm tropical climate of Puerto Rico. I'm in the mountains where the cool nights are heaven sent. The reason I'm answering now for St.Patricks Day is due to the festivities they have here on the island for Easter. Just about the time of the 17th, my father in-law, who owns a vegetable market ordered in his shipment of Bacalo.Anyone who is familiar with any culture that uses this knows what I am talking about.Bacalo is salted pollack.It may come as filet or in small packages. Needless to say, what we had to deal with was by no means small. My father in-law is known island wide for his bacalo as well as his prices and the fact that someone will cut it right there for you. Each case or carton is 50 lbs.We had over 230 cases of salted bacalo, that's 11,500 lbs.Plus 50 cases of the filet which are 40 lb. each, that's another 2,000 lbs.And then there's the gaspé.That also comes in 50 LB cases but because of the expense of it he doesn't get to much, only about 5 cases.So,the total amount of fish is 13,750 lbs,give or take a few because we also had the small packages, it comes with no bones in the packages. We cut, wrapped and bagged all this fish starting before St.Patricks Day and ending on Saturday, March 26, the day before Easter. I have no idea how to spell it, but they call the dish that they makes Escabeche.It is absolutely delicious. It lasts for a number of days in a sealed container.Anyway,we sell the fish imported from Canada for this. It's cut with machetes and believe me it is quite tiring (I was bagging it) I'm glad it's over. So, to all, I hope you had a very Happy St.Patrick's Day. And I hope you all had your favorite eats and drinks as well. Now I have to go thru the tons of e-mails. Denise in Puerto Rico Searching my families..

Hi Gary - Irish research is a bit difficult, especially lacking a townland, but - don't despair! It is possible to find your roots even with little to go on. Indeed, it is not hopeless, and some of the websites below may help you find the most likely Irish County for your Dunagan line. Basic place to start http://www.cyndislist.com/ireland.htm You may know Cyndi's Lists already from your other European research. The Irish Cyndi's List is just chock full of things to read and gives you clues and ideas, too. Try http://tiara.ie/ and do a surname search to try to find a likely County. Also, for the same purposes, try https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/csi/csi_main.cfm#Counties and also try http://www.scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/browse/records/index.htm You will surely find one of your possible spellings of Dunagan as being/having been prevalent in a certain County. When you decide on a likely County of origin - subscribe to pertinent Rootsweb.com county mailing list(s). Good Luck, Gary. Hope lots of folks respond with suggestions. I have found, though, that the specific county Rootsweb Lists are a lot more active than the Roll Call. Sharon researching Kavanagh in Co's.Wicklow, Carlow, Wexford and Byrne in Co.Wicklow.

I have successfully researched parts of my family throughout northern Europe and the United States, but I have an Irish line that has me stuck. I am hoping someone with more experience in Ireland can offer some guidance. What I know: In the United States Census 1830, New York State, Greene County, there is my great grandfather Michael Dunagan (spelled many ways in susequent records). He is listed as being born in Ireland, and based upon different census records, he must have been born about 1804. In the 1830 census, he is married to a woman born in New York, and they have two young children. I have found no other siblings or parents of this Michael Dunagan in the local census records, so I don't believe he came to America with his parents. Thus it is likley he came as a lad or young man, probably by about 1826 to give him time to get settled a bit, get married and have two children. It is possible he came 10 or so years earlier. The name is spelled many ways in US records - Dunagan, Dunnagan, Dunnigan, Donegan, etc. I have never found a single clue as to where he came from in Ireland. Is it hopeless to find a starting point, or are there some ideas of where to begin looking? I always enjoy visiting the ancestral homelands of my relatives, but in this case I lack a village or City as a start. Gary Danbury, Connecticut, USA [email protected]
