I know that my ggrandfather Bartholomew Corcoran comes from Curraheen, Lismore, Co. Waterford and I don't know where my ggrandmother Mary Nolan comes from in Ireland. They met and married in Manhattan. > > I have located Bartholomew's birth record from Dublin House and it lists his parents (Patrick Corcoran, Ellen Ahearn) but they were born before 1864. How would one go about researching their family before civil registration? Also, how would I find Bartholomew's siblings? > > Regarding Mary Nolan, if I don't know where she was born in Ireland, how can I find her? I do know her parent's names (John Nolan, Catherine Cregon). > > Lastly, I'm planning a trip to Ireland in May and I hope to be able to do some onsite researching. Where do I start? > > Thanks for any help you can offer me. > > Erin Schuck > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
