Dia dhuit Anne, Oh, how envious I am of your trip to Ireland. I had a month's trip in August 2006, but because of an old foot injury which resurfaced before I went to Ireland, I probably will never be able to go again, barring a miracle! My folks were evicted from East Clare near Killaloe (Ballycuggaran, Marcus Patterson Estate) in 1847. My great-great grandparents Maurice DINAN and Catherine HARTNEDY or Hartneady, with six children all under 8 years of age emigrated, starving, penniless, on one of the worst of the 'coffin ships' from Cobh (Cork). Four of the original 6 children died, all in Canada. Timothy age 2 died on Grosse Ile, Twins Mary and Bridget age 5 at Kingston and Toronto, and the infant John a few years later, all of Typhus contracted on board ship. Michael age 8 in 1847 is buried in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Rochester New York in an unmarked grave (with his wife Anne, surname unknown as yet). I am hoping to place a proper headstone soon, and to get the U.S. government to give recognition to his Civil War service too. In the 1901 Census, Michael said "no surviving children". I have not been able to find any information. Michael died at age 65. Maurice and Catherine had more children in Ontario. I stuck to East Clare when I was in Ireland and have a copy of Maurice and Catherine's marriage in St. Flannan's Church in Killaloe in 1838. I also have copies of Baptisms for the oldest 4 children in O'Gonnelloe, East Clare, "St. Mary, Star of the Sea". If you happen to find any records which you think might be helpful, I would be very grateful. I thank you most sincerely for your very thoughtful and kind offer, even though my folks were from East Clare not North Clare, you never know what might turn up. I did not go to Ennis, and I'm wondering if there would be copies of the Eviction order, or Workhouse records (Scariff, I think, for the younger children). I am starting to write my great-grandmother Catherine's story. She died in June 1930 at age 87, and came here at age 3. If you come across books, new or used book stores, I would appreciate having information on these things too, such as names and contact information. I already have a large Irish library and would be happy to check for your family names in return. Go raibh mile maith agat! Beannacht! Maire (Mary) P.S. Your letters were fascinating to read! Bravo! P.P.S. Of Catherine's family, the HARTNEDYS, I have found much more information than for the DINANs. Several brothers of Catherine went to the U.S.A, and some ended up rich and famous because of organizing the coal miners in Pennsylvania. Some of her sisters came to Canada( maybe with Maurice and Catherine or maybe earlier). Some married in Ontario. A few of them later joined their brothers in the U.S. Their parents and one brother also came to Canada. This brother (Timothy) served in the British army for awhile, and eventually retired, died and was buried in Ottawa. In Canada he worked in the Post Office. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: July-07-11 3:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: IRL-CLARE Digest, Vol 6, Issue 120 **REMEMBER...When replying - be sure to change Subject heading and snip excess text.

The Drumcliffe cemetery site on Clare Library has photos attached and burials began in 1789, so there is agood chance she is buried there.

I had previously started transcribing Corcomroe Abbey headstones (near Bellharbour, just north of Ballyvaughan) and have been back and taken photos of the new headstones and have found that a lot of the old headstones have been cleaned up and are easier to read, which makes my checking easier. I have done the same for Killeen Cemetery, near New Quay also. These graveyards lie in the parishes of Abbey and Oughtmama and now come under the parish of New Quay. People from the parish of Carron are also buried there. I went to Mass on Sunday last, which was to commerate the tragic boating tragedy at New Quay on 29 June 1969 in which 9 children lost their lives on a new boat on its maiden voyage. Two of these children were my father's first cousins. There is a lovely memorial build outside the church to commerate them. After Mass, I met up with siblings of these cousins and have had a wonderful time chatting with them, catching up and being overfed! I had already had a knock back from a priest in Tipperary, even though the priest in the adjoining parish said he would allow me to, but the records did not go back far enough. Wow! I was so excited! I asked the priest if I could look at the records and he was lovely, obliging and generous and would not take a donation. I had copied much information for the family names that I am interested in and those that I think have a connection, so if anyone would like me to see if I have information for their family, let me know. Tomorrow I am off to Ennis for another clan gathering!

My Irish deadend are my great grandfather's William Francis Quinn's family. He was born May 1862, supposedly in County Clare - we think Ennis or Quin Abbey areas.. his parents were Henry Quinn and Annie Melia - I don't know if they all came to the US or not - William did in 1868 or so. We believe Henry's father's name was William. I know these are common names but if you ran across anything I'd be thrilled! Thanks so much for the offer... Enjoy your trip!

Ennis records are on line, and don't show William's baptism in 1861-63. Quinn baptisms are on LDS film 0926096. Doora baptisms not filmed by the LDS; you'd have to pay someone to search the film at the National Library or Clare Heritage Center. I'd suggest you search Quinn's first, if you haven't already.
