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).

Hi Listers We are also making our first visit to Ireland in September 2007 and wish to stay in Dublin for a few days, any suggestions for a B&B or like establishment with ensuite facility would be most appreciated. Robert in Aus

Hi, Robert: We like to stay in Ballsbridge because it's walkable to the city center but it also has a DART stop and airport coach service. You'll find lots of possibilities on various Web sites. We stayed at the Shelbourne Townhouse last time and it was fine. Be prepared--Dublin is expensive! Diane

And if you're searching for the area around Whitegate, you'd want to have map 59.

Mona, You write "I would really appreciate some insider advice for my first trip to Ireland.........." to this Clare/genealogy list. Can we assume that the prime objectives of your first trip to Ireland are in the area of family history research ? If so, in which part of the country around the Shannon and/or in Clare ?

Thanks for the thorough background on the Clare Planning maps, Larry. Farmers sons are not allowed to build on their own farms ? You failed to add that farmers are no longer allowed to cut turf from their own bogs to burn in their own fireplaces. Midnight ramblers in rural Clare may be disconcerted by encounters with furtive figures in pitch darkness in the middle of the bog. They are farmers illegally cutting a little of their turf for the home fire. The uniformed men standing on the edge of the bog with night vision equipment are the Gardaí, out looking for farmers illegally cutting a little turf for the home fire.

He came to our county with his father and family in boyhood. The family lived near Rose Hill, this county, many years. Dennis worked on the farm and in winter made fence rails and cut wood. When the War of Rebellion came on he was in the South, but at once returned to the state of Indiana, and enlisted in Co. B, 10th Regiment Inft., Ind. Vols. He served his full time and was discharged at Atlanta, Ga., yet declined to return home, and marched with Sherman's men to the sea, and was mustered out with his regiment at Louisville, Ky. He returned to his home and on October 20, A. D. 1870, married Susanna Curell, a neighbor girl. They made a new home near the old place. Two children were born to them- Charles, a son, who died in infancy, and a daughter, Aria, who survives her father. The wife and mother departed this life January 31, A. D. 1919, and rests in the family lot in Forest cemetery. Dennis O'Connor is survived by one sister, Catharine Bump, residing in Oklahoma.

The Bridgmans of County Clare, by Shirley G. Straney Journal of the Genealogical Society of Ireland ISSN 1393 936X Vol. 3 No. 1, Spring 2002 http://www.familyhistory.ie/journal1.htm The Weekly Home News, Spring Green, Sauk Co, WI 20 Nov 1913 "Mrs. Patrick Bridgeman died at the family home in the town of Spring Green last Friday. Although Mrs. Bridgeman has been in poor health for several weeks, her condition seemed to be much improved, and her death came without warning from another stroke of paralysis. Her life has been a useful one and her loss will be keenly felt, not alone in her family, but among a large circle of friends and neighbors. Mary Miliken was born in county Clare, Ireland, seventy-two years ago and came to America when a child. She was united in marriage with Patrick Bridgeman April 23d, 1872, and since that time their home has been on the Bridgeman farm northwest of this village. To this union six children were born, all of whom survive. Deceased leaves to mourn her loss her husband, her children, John of Muscoda, Mike of Menomonie, James, Alice, Mary and Honora who live on the home farm; two sisters, Mesdames Cunneen and Ross; two brothers, John and Tim Curtin, and four grandchildren. The funeral was held st St. John's church Monday morning, the pastor, Rev. J. B. Brudermanns, officiating and the body was placed at rest in the Catholic cemetery. Relatives from a distance who attended the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. John Curtin and son J. H. Curtin, of Madison; Tim Curtin of Marshfield; Mrs. Margaret Cunneen, Blue Mound; Mrs. Johanna Ross, Brookfield, Illinois; John Bridgeman, Lenox, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. John Bridgeman and two children, Muscoda; Mike Bridgeman, Menomonie."
