Hi Elaine, I forgot to mention the bus system in Ireland is WONDERFUL!! Also, I would encourage you to spend some time at an LDS history center before you go. This is where I found my gg grandmother's brother's baptism record. Our local center is only open 4 hours on Sat. I thought since I found the parish, I had it made. When I went to Ireland I went to the parish....expecting to find the whole family. The parish records had been copied by the LDS and were sent for safe keeping in Dublin. The parish had a computerized copy of the records. Much to my dismay.......he (nor any other family member) was on the list. The micro film in Dublin Library was the same the one I'd viewed at home. The church had no explanation why my Peter McGauley was missing. I've been researching for 27 years and always thought once you found the parish you were home free. Not so. Best of Luck on your trip. I've been there twice and loved it!!!!!!!!

If Edward FARRELLY was born in Ireland after 1 Jan, 1864, his birth 'should' be in the "Indexes for Births in Ireland" which I have access to at the local Family History Center. FARRELLY is a pretty common name, which means there may be a lot of candidates to choose from. If you have a good idea of what year he was born in, the right Index hit may be less of a task to find. If you are not familiar with Indexes, they are books that were published each year after 31 Dec that contained the names of EVERY birth turned into the GRO that year for the entire country. They are not the fully handwritten Registration that was filled out at the GRO within 3 weeks of the birth, they are a brief notation intended to point you to the right volume and page number to find that Registration. An example would be : 1864 - BUNNY, Easter.....Baillieborough 12-345 Translates to : The birth of Easter BUNNY was registered in the parish of Baillieborough in volume 12 on page 234. If you get 1864 births, volume 12 [out of 20] and go to page 345, you can look down the page for the name you need. It will be somewhere on that page which has spaces for up to about 20 names. Without the INDEX data, its virtually impossible to locate a birth registration. Even the GRO uses the Index films to find the volume and page number they need to get the correct entry someone is seeking. Write back if this birth is after 1 Jan, 1864 and I'll see what the Index films have for Edward FARRELLY. Meg G in Oklahoma USA ==============================

Re: Farley/Farrelly (New World Ports) Karen, In 2000 my Uncle & I made a trip to Ireland, visiting all the applicable genealogical places in Dublin, Belfast (pretty much the same info is available at both), in CO Cavan (nothing earth shattering learned here), among other places. While at a Gov't Library in CO Fermanagh, N. Ire., we met an employee there who believed that there were "Internal Shipping Records in Quebec," Canada. He said it would have info about people traveling up St. Lawrence River from Quebec to areas along Great Lakes.... It makes sense when you look at a map. Ships could have gone from the Atlantic through the Gulf of St Lawrence, into the St Lawrence River all the way to Montreal. From there they could continue along the waterways to the (north) west toward Ottawa, or in a south-west direction into Lake Ontario. My ancestors settled in various places on the Canadian side of the Lake {later folks making their way continually west until some made their way to North Dakota}. I researched this for quite a while-emailing all over Canada as well as other places. Unfortunately, no one that I contacted knew anything about any records for this type of travel, or anything sounding even close to it. So I gave up.... If someone else would like to take up this head-banger, feel free (and good luck!). Lloyd Rowe Anchorage, AK lrowe@outdrs.net

My ancestors came from northern Ireland, probably Co. Armagh, and emigrated to Canada. I have no information as to where they landed. Some people have thought they might have landed in an American port and worked their way north. So I'm wondering how you found out that James' siblings came through Philadelphia. Is there a website I can search?

Elaine, The one caveat of not going might be the RC Church records, depending on the years of interest. The National Library does have microfilmed copies of the parish registers, but I believe they generally cut off in the 1880 - 1890 time frame. My family was from Ballintemple parish. By going through the actual register held by the parish priest, I found a lot of information that I could not have easily and inexpensively gotten in Dublin. Also by visiting a church cemetery, I came upon the grave of a set of GGrandparents. Our family has assumed they were buried in Ballinamore, Co Leitrim. I had gone to Ballinamore first, but had no luck finding any useful info. I could have paid for research at the Leitrim Genealogy Centre, but I hadn't reached that point of desperation yet. Then after visting the parish in Ballintemple where another side of the family was buried, voila! If the Lurgan RC records are of interest to you, you can do some work in advance of your trip and an LDS Family History Center. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?dis play=titlefilmnotes&columns=*%2C0%2C0&titleno=346856&disp=Parochial+register s+of+Lurgan+%28Cavan2++ And while in Dublin, don't forget about the National Archives.

Thank you, Declan. We have been to Dublin before but this will be our first genealogy trip. I will bring what I have and take it from there. Maybe I can find the birth records of the first 4 Farley children born in (I am assuming) County Cavan, also, while I am there. I do have their names and approximate birthdates. The Farley family left Ireland for Canada in 1831 so any census records would have to be before that time. We are looking forward to seeing the beautiful countryside of Ireland again. The Nowlan side of this family came from County Carlow and we plan to visit there also. Elaine

Thank you, Adele. We are so looking forward to our 2nd trip, first genealogy trip, to Dublin and Ireland. Elaine

Susan, Thank you for your reply. The record for James does not have his townland.

Elaine, Most of the county Cavan genealogy records are in Dublin at either the National Library or Representative Church Body Library. http://www.nli.ie/ http://www.ireland.anglican.org/ The genealogy center in Cavan 1st Floor, Johnston Central Library, Farnham St., Cavan Tel: 353 (0) 49 4361094 Fax: 353 (0) 49 4331494 email: cavangenealogy@eircom.net Hours: 9am-5pm Monday-Friday. By appointment only on Saturdays. Their records are are online as pay per view http://cavan.brsgenealogy.com/ and I doubt they are made available to a visitor. Cheers, Colin Ferguson

We will be going to Ireland in April 2009. I am interested in bus service from Dublin to Lourgan, County Cavan and where do I go when I get there to look for genealogy records. I am not planning on staying overnight there but can if need be. Thank you for any help you can give me. Elaine
