Did you know there is a Rootweb mailing list covering Irish American Obituaries? I suggest if you don't want to join the list that you at least check out it's archives because there are many obits posted that give the person's place of birth in Ireland and they just might help you out with your research. You can find it at: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Ethnic-Irish/IRISH-AMERICAN-OBITUARIES.html -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
