I have recently found out that my 2rd great grandparents were born in Belfast Ireland. Date unknown. On my great-grandmothers death certificate it states her parents by the name of Patrick Duress and Mary Cingen. Both born in Belfast. My great-grandmother was born in 1852 in Philadelphia. Interestingly enough on her marriage to my great-grandfather her name is Katerine Mc Garth or Mc Gurt. I have done an Ancestry.com lookup up with the name of Patrick Duress and come up with nothing that is in Phila. or an immigration. Would someone that is more familiar with Ireland lookups please guide me in the right direction? Thanks, ginger in Florida

Hi, I am new to this list, and have no idea about how to set about research in Ireland. I have recently come across someone in my family in an American census, which says she was born in Ireland. I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction to find her? Harriet LEVELL, born abt 1886 to Emma (nee WITTEY) and Richard LEVELL. It is quite possible that they had other children in Ireland too (2 daughters) before eventually emigrating to America. If anyone can help, I would be most grateful.
