I have a John Bulger, born c. 1816  brother to William of Green Lane and father to John, Anna, Lucy, and Edward, all born in the 1840s (definitely Carlow for John Jr. probably Carlow for the others but no proof) .  Wife's name was likely Mary (maiden name unknown) .  The family emigrated to Philadelphia, PA.  A second Edward (my ggrandfather) was born to this same John in 1861 in Ireland, after the family had already moved .   John placed an ad in the Phila. Inquirer on March 27, 1866 searching for his original four children in Phila. and his brother  in Carlow  (but not his wife).     A widower who remarried, perhaps?  I know my younger Edward is brother to John, Anna, and Lucy, as I have family letters and documents.  Could John Sr.  have placed the same search ad in a Carlow newspaper?  Any way to find out? I have found some Bulgers on the Griffith's valuation in Carlow but no way to tell if they are mine.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Bethanne

I am researching the Somers and Quinn families from Killinane, Carlow. My grandfather Patrick Somers b. 1868 in Killinane immigrated to Australia in 1886. I believe there are descendents from his father's second marriage still in the area. Thank you Kathy Myles Australia

Nobody ever seems to be looking for my Nowlan family.....Simon Nowlan and Margaret Donahue were married in County Carlow, 15 Dec 1824.  All their children were born in US, first one Jeremiah, born PA, then John, PA, then Michael, born Ohio.....That's all I have.  No females that I know of....must have walked on water, as I never found HOW they got to United States. Both Simon and Margaret died in Kansas.. Thanks, Brenda

Maurice,Sorry to add to the confusion re your COMAN ancestors, but do consider this as well:In researching my Conran ancestors, I've seen Conran and Conron incorrectly transcribed as Coman and Comon! There are plenty of these errors on the Ancestry website alone....A lower case "n" next to an "r" can be easily mistaken for an "m" in old handwriting, if the writer has completed the "r" with a vertical rather than a horizontal stroke, and especially if such an "r" is very close to the "n" that precedes it. I've faced this challenge myself while transcribing from microfilmed parish records; on a few occasions, it has been very hard to decide whether I'm looking at Conran or Coman... In this case, I have enlarged the image as much as possible and made sure the other names/dates/places listed in the entry are consistent with those I already know/suspect are correct.Not suggesting that your Comans are Conrans - just alerting you to the visual similarity of the two surnames and possibility of errors.Karen. _________________________________________________________________ Learn more ways to connect with your buddies now http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9734388
