I will not repeat my Christmas greeting error, which was to send the list a link to a card site, evidently securely trapped in the Rootsweb spam filter. So, without embellishment and graphics, I wish you all the best for the New Year. My Bunratty story: while traveling as a college girl and before my knowledge of roots in Clare, I hitched a ride with an airline stewardess on her way to work at Shannon. I still remember the grip I kept on anything in the car as she drove super-fast to the airport from Cork (but she had taken the time to stop for me). I then made my way to Bunratty, as the nearest tourist site. There I met another Amercian college girl who was the niece of Sheriff Matt Carberry of San Francisco, and so we hung out at Dirty Nelly's together. Little did I know that I was within ten miles of where my folks had lived and worked. On arriving in Dublin, after my new friend had left the island for other places, I was strolling amid the crowd near Trinity College when something caught my eye, and being a bold American, I called out across the street: "Paul...Paul Murphy, is that you ?" It was in fact the huge figure that had whirled the dancing Irish girls who had come over in those times when Irish teens came to the U.S. in the summer to work. I had met the group at Lake Placid, New York, where I too was working. We were all servers in the dining hall, with lots of time to spend on the beach between meals. It was the summer of the fabulous Woodstock concert, which I did attend although it was several hundred miles away (I did all the driving on the way back because I am a hardy traveler.) Anyway, Paul took me back to the family home, where his mother provided her brown bread recipe, and I had a wonderful weekend in Dublin family-style. There is magic to be had but you must get yourself there to experience it. May all that is old become new for you, Sharon Carberry Georgia USA

Remembering that this is (or was ?) the Clare List I was waiting for someone to point out that the best places to stay when visiting Dublin are in Clare. Clare is near Dublin (on the Antipodean or North American scale of things), has lots of places to visit and scenery to enjoy and great people to meet and talk to and, why, it still has space to park your car (some of it free). While in Clare you might stay at Declan Barron's magnificent seat in Ennis and breathe in some100 octane Clare genealogy there, or you could stay in any one of the delightful B&Bs overlooking wild scenery with unlimited walks and bike rides.

Kevin~ I GOOGLE the exchange for that particular day and figure what would be the equivalent in American $s and maybe pad it by an extra $2. Never had a problem. Now I only do that for UK and other non EUC countries. A few years back we opened a bank account in Ireland because we are there so much and felt it was much easier; it is. I never send a pre addressed & stamped envelope. On a few occasions when I tried that, I had some returned with a note re: confusion by the person. I feel the donation will cover the postage. Christmas cards this year to Ireland, UK & Oz were all about 87 cents per card. Mary Ellen Kevin Fitzpatrick <k_fitz29@yahoo.com> wrote: Mary Ellen..............thanks for the tips.

If so, with Irish postage? Kevin Mary Ellen Chambers wrote: Kevin~ I would go to the County Clare Library web site. There is file which lists the churches which have sacramental records for the particular area of a townland/village, the timeline of those records. Then send your request to the ones which have the correct timeline for your ancestors. However, pre 1864 sacramental records are a "hit or miss" project. For my g g grandfather Thomas DALY, occupation farmer, residence Smithstown, Barony of Lower Bunratty, the church had no records for him, his marriage, or his known children's baptisms/marriages! Other records for him we found, (marriage - 1862, my g grandmother though Catholic married a Protestant in Limerick City in 1862. He is listed, his occupation & residence). We have also sent a letter addressed to the Pastor, Catholic Church for a particular town C/O the local Post office for that town. We included a donation equal to 20 Euros for the church. Sometimes you will get a response several months later with results or a sorry could find nothing, a reply with return of the donation stating they just have no time to do genealogy look-ups, or just no reply at all but the check/money order is never cashed. There is a shortage of priests in Ireland. Most parishes have had their sacramental records put on microfiche for the local Heritage groups which charges a fee (at times can be quite a large fee). Keep in mind that the 1M+ who emigrated in the 19th century, have now descendants all over the world who number in the M>Billions!!!! Thank you so much. I will have to check out these townlands to see if any are close to Smithstown and/or Ennis Town. Appreciate your assist.

* Obit for Rev John Joseph Hehir of Miltown Malby, Co. Clare, Ireland ** The Witness * 08 Oct 1931 * Stroke Cause of Death of Father John Hehir of Anamosa * Father John J. Hehir, the recently appointed pastor of St. Patrick's Church, Anamosa, [Iowa, USA] passed away Sunday evening at Mercy Hospital, Cedar Rapids. Father Hehir, who had been visiting in Cedar Rapids, had suffered a stroke a few days previously. He was born in Ireland, November 26, 1879. He studied his classics in Ireland and also in Toronto, Canada, and philosophy at Columbia College, Dubuque. He received his theological education at St. Paul Seminary, St Paul, Minn. He was ordained in the St. Paul Cathedral, June 12, 1906, by Archbishop Ireland. His first assignment in the Archdiocese of Dubuque was that of assistant at St Rapheal's Cathedral. He served here from 1906 to 1910. In 1910 he was appointed to the pastorate of Clermont, where he remained until his recent appointment as pastor of Anamosa, just six weeks ago. He is survived by Sister Mary Agnes of Nazareth Home, Hampton, Africa, a sister; Brother Michael of Buffalo, NY, a brother; and the Rev. John [James] Hehir, pastor of Temple Hill, a cousin. Father Hehir's death removes from the ranks of archdiocesan clergymen a most energetic worker, a splendid priest. He was always ready to cooperate in any diocesan work. He was well loved by his parishioners. Those whom he served for long years at Clermont will mourn his passing deeply. He was an ardent worker for the welfare of his flock, and was especially devoted to the youth of the parish. He labored long and well in the cause of Christ. He will be mourned, likewise, by the people of Anamosa. Though he had been with them just a few short weeks, he endeared himself to them by his kindness, his enthusiasm, his devotedness. They have lost him before they scarcely knew him; yet he will be remembered to the people of his new flock. His Excellency, Archbishop Francis Joseph Beckman, motored to Anamosa where he pontificated at a solemn mass of requiem at ten o'clock. The officers of the Mass were: Assistant priest, the Rev. P. McNamara, Lycurgus; deacons of honor, Rev. W.J. Torpey, Fairbank and John Hehir, Temple Hill; deacon of Mass, Rev. John J. Brietbach, Dubuque; sub-deacon, Rev. P. Molloy, Biemond; masters of ceremonies, Rev. John Theobald and Rev. E.A. Fitzgerald, Dubuque. A most fitting funeral sermon was pronounced by the Rev. T. Collins of Waverly, Iowa. The discourse was a masterly effort, edifying and appropriate in every way. This obituary was provided by the archives of the Archdiocese of Dubuque, Iowa, USA

Mary Ellen..............thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, I am looking at a timeline 1820-1850 so I guess Ill be extremely lucky if I find anything. I hate to sound stupid but how do you send a check in Euros? Do you include a SASE? If so, with Irish postage? Kevin Mary Ellen Chambers <maryln61@sbcglobal.net> wrote: Kevin~ I would go to the County Clare Library web site. There is file which lists the churches which have sacramental records for the particular area of a townland/village, the timeline of those records. Then send your request to the ones which have the correct timeline for your ancestors. However, pre 1864 sacramental records are a "hit or miss" project. For my g g grandfather Thomas DALY, occupation farmer, residence Smithstown, Barony of Lower Bunratty, the church had no records for him, his marriage, or his known children's baptisms/marriages! Other records for him we found, (marriage - 1862, my g grandmother though Catholic married a Protestant in Limerick City in 1862. He is listed, his occupation & residence). We have also sent a letter addressed to the Pastor, Catholic Church for a particular town C/O the local Post office for that town. We included a donation equal to 20 Euros for the church. Sometimes you will get a response several months later with results or a sorry could find nothing, a reply with return of the donation stating they just have no time to do genealogy look-ups, or just no reply at all but the check/money order is never cashed. There is a shortage of priests in Ireland. Most parishes have had their sacramental records put on microfiche for the local Heritage groups which charges a fee (at times can be quite a large fee). Keep in mind that the 1M+ who emigrated in the 19th century, have now descendants all over the world who number in the M>Billions!!!! Thank you so much. I will have to check out these townlands to see if any are close to Smithstown and/or Ennis Town. Appreciate your assist.

I must have missed Kevin's mention of cemeteries in county Clare where FITZPATRICK ancestors were buried! Kevin could you please list the names & places again? My g g grandmother was Margaret nee FITZPATRICK DALY. Yearly trips to Ireland and graveyard walks have failed to turn up any data. I know by 1862 she was living in Ennis Town on Mill Street. Previously, she & her husband were farming in Smithstown Lower Bunratty Drumline County Clare. One daughter was sent out to Australia in 1850 and my g grandmother married in 1862 in Limerick City and by 1868 had emigrated to Cleveland, OH. No further trace of either the correct FITZPATRICK or DALY family from about 1868 in County Clare. Would like to check out these cemeteries on our late spring trip over. Mary Ellen Chambers Lakewood, OH Patrick Casey <pcasey@compuserve.com> wrote: Kevin, If you have identified a few cemeteries in Clare where they are buried you are half way to constructing your family tree. Identification of a cemetery gives you the name of a locality. The name of the locality gives you the entry keys to the 1901 census records, the 1855 Griffith and the 1820s-1830s Tithe Applotments. It's all downhill from then on. Unless they left Ireland in the 18th century, in which case it's uphill (unless they happened to be military, administration, judges or landed gentry).

It was not stated very well. I know quite a bit about my Fitzpatrick family in Brooklyn, NY but very little about themin Ireland except that they originated in County Clare. I have identified a few cemeteries in Clare where they are buried but thats all. I didnt know what those maps were all about and was hoping that somehow they could be useful in my quest. Im now convinced that they will not help in my particular case so will move on to grasp at the next straw that comes along. Thank you for your interest. Kevin Patrick Casey wrote: I'm afraid I can't help Kevin, Sharon, because I cannot understand his questions. It is evident from the URLs that these maps are modern-day ones. I find them relevant to my interests as a family historian in that they allow location of houses and other village buildings which are still standing (or were in 2003). However, I'm not sure what is relevant to Kevin's interests. Anyway, please keep these gems coming.
