Eventually, their brother Jerry and his family relocated there. Jerry was one of the Roughriders before he settled down. Susan

Maybe I should mention that Simeon Smith(Jr)'s last wife Jane Alice Fuller is from the Fuller line that came on the Mayflower and her mother is from the Bowen family.Both of these lines are well researched and documented if any of you are connected with us -we gladly share what we have.It is getting our Irish back to Ireland that seems to be our problem.I'm sure I can read and learn from all of you and figure out where we should look -Thanks,Christine

Glossary Civil Parish These are important units for record purposes. They generally contain around twenty-five to thirty townlands as well as towns and villages. There are around 2,500 civil parishes in the country. Parishes are generally listed within each county although they may also be divided by barony. In many cases civil parishes straddle county and barony boundaries. Barony A barony is a portion of a county or a group of parishes. Historically it was introduced by the Anglo-Normans and is usually based on a tribal territory or "tuatha". Barony boundaries do not always conform to those of the civil parishes within them. There are 273 boundaries in Ireland. County The county is a major and consistent division of land. The counties were gradually established by the English since the arrival of the Normans. The first counties - Dublin, Kildare and Louth - were established in the early 13th Century, whereas the last counties, those of Ulster, were not established until after 1600. There are thirty-two counties and these are formed into four Provinces. Province The four Provinces of Ireland are Connaught, Leinster, Munster and Ulster. Each comprises a number of counties. Poor Law Under the Irish Poor Law Act of 1838 commissioners were empowered to "unite so many townlands as they think fit to be a union for the relief of the destitute poor". A Union was a group of parishes usually centred on a market town, where a workhouse might be built, with parishes and townlands as subdivisions. Rates, land based taxes, were collected within these areas for maintenance to the poor. They were named after a large town. The same districts later became used as General Register Districts. cheers cara

Compulsory civil registration of non-Roman Catholic marriages began on 1st of April 1845,and the registration of births, deaths and all marriages commenced on 1st January 1864. The General Register Office (GRO), which is located in Lombard Street Dublin, holds copies of all civil records for the whole of Ireland, from the commencement of registration, up to and including the year 1921. >From 1922 onwards, the GRO holds copies of the records for the Republic of Ireland only, those records for the six counties of Northern Ireland are held by the Public Records Office in Belfast, Co. Antrim. Index Books at the Gro have to be asked for at the counter and a fee is paid for the use of these books, and sometimes if you dont get there early enough you have to wait for the books to become free to use yourself. If you find a name and reference in the index you can get a photocopy but sometimes the staff decide that they are not doing it while you wait and it is posted out to you.at a fee of 1.90 euro each.( Document) The opening times are Monday to Friday only, 9.30 to 12.30 and 2.15 to 4.30. There is usually a queue in the street before each session but be aware that some are there to register the new citizens of Ireland and not seek their ancestors. Some Parish registers do exist but it is hard to pin the parish priest to a viewing, him not being interested in Geneology but some within the parish are but without a county, townland, barony or even sometimes a poor law union it is hard to find ones ancestors. Representative Church Body ( who do not do lookups) hold most Church of Ireland records, but as you have all been told from time to time that a lot of Irish records no longer exist if they were not burnt in the fire at the Four Courts or bombed in the 1913 Uprising they were trashed to help the war effort.

Hi Ann There are people in Ireland that are willing to search different counties, but you have to know what counties they cames from. And they do charge.

Thanks so much for the clarification of terms, I had thought that parishes meant church areas (silly me) and well you know what I thought the poor union law was. I am glad I asked, because I was definately wrong. Again thanks for the info. Guess I'm too Americanized for my Irish roots. Vicki
