I am French and I am working for my pleasure on a Paul Boyton's biography a famous swimmer at the end of XIX century. I have many difficulties to understand in which archives or in which way to search in Ireland (or USA); I have in my hands several original letters from him whom wrote to her French girl friend; I will like to know, mainly, if Paul Boyton married her. I dont know what can I do for obtain those information; I explored many web sites and I discovered your site. I am searching any information about him particulary his birthday. In some books he says that he bornt in USA. Where is the truth? "The Twentieth Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans: Volume I A Bozeman, Nathan page 372 BOYTON, Paul, swimmer, was born in Dublin, Ireland, June 29, 1848. >From his youth he was an expert swimmer, and by the time he was twenty-five had saved seventy people from drowning. He came to America prior to the civil war, and served with distinction in the United States navy until 1865. In 1867 he engaged in the life-saving service on the Atlantic coast...." He died on April 19, 1924 Brooklyn - there is a memorial plaque placed at Luna park in honour of one of his invention of shoot-the-chutes ride. Does anyone have any information on Paul Boyton ? PS : I have many Irish newspapers about him in 1874 : "To test its efficacy, he had himself lowered from the steamship Queen, off the Irish coast during a severe storm, in October, 1874". Thank you very much Michel Lopez PRESIDENT http://scriptmani.univ-lemans.fr http://paysderetz.online.fr

Hello, Renee.......... I've been putting together obituaries I've gathered for my new webpage, (Irish-American Obituaries) and I noticed an obit for a SKEHAN.............since this surname isn't a very common one, I was wondering if this lady was one of "yours"? Here is the Obit: SKEHAN--- With sincere regret we have to record the death of Mrs. MARY SKEHAN, which took place on the 10th inst. at her residence 179 Degraw street, Brooklyn, NY, after a long and severe illness, which she bore with the most pious Christian resignation. The deceased lady was in her 60th year, and was a native of Rathkenny, parish of Fethard, county Tipperary, Ireland. The deep affection with which she was regarded by her family and friends, and their poignant grief at her loss are the best evidences of how well she fulfilled all the duties of a good mother, a kind friend, and a wise, reliable counsellor to all who sought her assistance. Her funeral took place on the 12th inst. from St. Peter's Church, Hicks street, where a solemn Mass of Requiem was offered for the repose of her soul. >From thence her remains were conveyed to Holy Cross Cemetery, attended by a large and respectable concourse of mourning friends. May she rest in peace. Amen. The Irish-American, week ending Sept. 19, 1879 That's it, Renee----any connections?

I'm a first time user to this list. Not sure what info I should give but will try one ancestor to give it a try. Looking for an obit for a James GRADY who lived and possilby died in Brookings County, South Dakota. Moved there around 1880. Found a grave inscription at FHC for his wife Bridgett who died 1919. Assume James died there also. My goal is to fine, in Ireland, where they were born or came from. Thank you Robert Grady Montana
