I may be incorrect, but I thought NYC has Diocese Archives for old sacramental records.  Most of your older Diocese has them.  In Cleveland, one cannot research yourself but you can send a written request with the data you have.  There is a very minmal fee.  The turnaround here can be months because there are only a few people doing it.  Also, which might be true for NYC as in other cities, with the forced closing of RC churches, the sacramental records from those parishes is an overwhelming job.  Therefore, research requests are on the back burner. Also, subscrube to the NYC or New York rootsweb list.  There are probably people who help you. Since this is a County Clare list, I just assume it is NYC, however, Cleveland OH has streets & RC churches of the same names.

Irish-NY <[email protected]>   I used to be on this list as my Clancy's were in NY.  But I could not find out anything about the Clancy's.   BUT this list when I was on it, was soooo nice and helpful.  I met someone in my home area and not on the list who was looking for an Irish singer who was so well known during his lifetime.  He suddenly dropped dead and the relative was looking for any recordings back in the 1920-30's.  This group through me helped him so much in locating places for the current person to check out.   I only left due to too many posts and just one distant relative family.   Alanna --- On Fri, 3/25/11, Mary Ellen Chambers <[email protected]> wrote:
