Hello I am researching Thomas Sullivan and his father Macehal Sullivan. The date of birth I have for Thomas Sullivan is 23/8/1838. Macehal Sullivan married a Elisabeth Walsh. I recently learnt that they may be come from Cork in Ireland. I have no other information at present. Does any one know if Macehal is the Irish spelling of Michael. Any help would be most appreciated as I do not have any idea on how to proceed in tracing Irish persons. I have just started international research on my family tree. Thanks Clive Barker
