Hello List, I've been away for awhile and believe I may have missed something of importance..............please help! In Vicki Perry's November 10th. email she refers to her ggg grandmother's obituary of 1865 along with a note of thanks to Declan. I've searched the rootsweb archives, but didn't find any reference to obituaries. Are there Clare obituaries available somewhere?? By 1874 the last brother (#7) of my gr grandfather, MATTHEW MASON, arrived in Chicago, IL. I assume his parents, JAMES MASON and BRIDGET HAYES-MASON of Parteen, Co. Clare were deceased by this time. An obituary would be the most wonderful find! It might even help me tind Matthew's four sisters! Thanks for any help anyone might provide! Judie Mason Chicago
