Do you know when they came from Cork? have you checked ship and naturalization records? If you don't have any more info than the name Riordan and County Cork as a location you're not likely to have much luck. You need to look at as many US records as you can possibly find and try to find a more specific location. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy Smith" <dorfysmith@yahoo.com> To: <irl-cork@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 04, 2010 7:57 AM Subject: Re: Townlands > How do we search for a family when we only know they came from Co., Cork > and the > name is Riordan???? > Dot in New Hampshire USA
