My continuing search for Patrick Tully. After waiting almost 9 months, I finally have received the research from the cavan genealogy center, but it was not too fruitful. They sent me several Patrick Tully's baptized in the 1833 timeframe (which I have figured is when he was born because when he died in 1902, the small news obituary said he was 69 years). Patrick's oldest son was named Andrew, and they said there is a possibility that Andrew was named after his grandfather - that is the first possible lead of an ancestor's name that I've had. They found two Andrew Tully's in the 1821 census, one in Bailyhaise and one in Drung. So, now I have some possible leads, but still don't know how to chip further on this giant brickwall of mine. Any ideas anybody? Lois Heath Texas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Did the baptism records they sent you list the father's name? It should have. Did any of those records have a father Andrew? Have you found Patrick's wife's father's name? Who are the other Tully names listed as godparents in Patrick's children's baptism records? These would likely be close relatives, siblings, or cousins. Sometimes even a parent. You would want to find out where the church records would be for someone from Bailyhaise and Drung - then see if there are Tullys recorded there, and try to figure out the family. These records might be on microfilm at the LDS FHC. (Need further info?) This is just a start.
