Dear Kay Your mention of Cootehill has gripped my attention. My 3xgt gm Annie Swindley, formerly Pennington, ms. O'Brien gave that place name on one of her children's birth certs. I have been following the threads and you seem to have a wealth of research experience in this county and presumably town as well. I wonder if there is any possibility that you have some local records which might help me locate my family or if you can point me in the right direction for further research. This is my first attempt at Irish research so any advice will be gratefully received Jocelyn Gould Buderim Australia Kay Stanton wrote: > GOSH, KATHLEEN... YOU'RE DOING BETTER THAN I AM.

HI, JOCELYN... FIRST OF ALL, HAVE YOU CHECKED THE NEWSPAPER TRANSCRIPTIONS THAT WE DO FOR www.irelandoldnews.com? YOU COULD VERY WELL FIND SOMETHING THERE, ALTHOUGH THE NAME "SWINDLEY" DOESN'T RING A BELL FOR ME. WAS YOUR FAMILY CATHOLIC AND POSSIBLE COMMUNICANTS OF ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL CHURCH IN COOTEHILL? THAT'S THE ONLY CHURCH I ACTUALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. ALSO, WHAT TIME FRAME? EMAIL ME DIRECT [email protected] AND ALSO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THE O'BRIENS SINCE THAT IS ONE OF MY LINES. MY NICHOLAS O'BRIEN WAS BORN IN COUNTY MEATH (1818) BUT MARRIED BRIDGET TACKNEY AT ST. MICHAEL'S.
