Hi Jean, Sorry I missed your original posting . There was a Church of Ireland St. Peter's on the North Main St. (or Main St.) in Cork City. This would have been in the Civil Parish of St. Peter. The building is still there but was deconsecrated many years ago is now used by the City Council as an Audio/Video centre for various exhibitions etc. It also serves as the meeting place for the Cork Genealogical Society.

Hi, Susan, Did you know this is the City of Cork list, not the County Cork list? Mallow and the Blackwater River are a long way from the city of Cork. Have you posted to the Co Cork list? Your best bet to find exact place of origin is in the US records: obituary, tombstone, and parish records are the most likely. Collect all US records for every family member and also those of neighbors and fellow parishioners (see censuses and city directories for these) who may be from the same places in Cork. The one Irish record I recommend is Griffiths Evaluation [on cd] to see where in Cork you find all three surnames in one place, especially Mulchinach as it is less usual. Good luck. Elizabeth KnowltonEW@Compuserve.com Message text written by INTERNET:IRL-CORK-CITY-L@rootsweb.com >Hi List. I posted my family information many months ago but did not get many hits on it. I thought I might post my information once again in hopes that someone may have a connection to my family or know of information on them. If any has a connection or knows of any information on my family in Ireland, please either respond to this message on the list or email me directly at suzyking75@yahoo.com. If anyone has a connection, I'd be more than happy to provide them with more details on the family of John and Hannah Sharp here in the US. My family information is as follows: Patrick Murphy born approximately 1806 in Ireland (possibly Mallow) died when he drowned in the Blackwater River in County Cork Ireland (possibly Mallow). I imagine he was buried in County Cork Ireland. Patrick married Hannah Catherine Mulchinach....she went by Catherine. Catherine was born 1810 in County Cork Ireland. She immigrated to NY, USA in 1864...she traveled there with two of her three sons. She joined her daughter in Evanston, IL where she died in November 1883. She was buried 19 November 1883 in Calvary Cemetary, Evanston, IL. Patrick and Catherine bore at least four children together: 1. Hannah Catherine b. 17 January 1836 2. Patrick who immigrated to the US in 1864, he married and had two children, he was a veteran of the US Civil War. 3. John who immigrated to the US in 1864. 4. Edmund married Bridget Cox and had three kids with her: Robert, Josephine (born 13 February 1871), and Katherine (born 1874). There is no information to indicate that Edmund and Bridget ever left Ireland. Hannah Catherine (#1 above) came to the US in the early 1850s...I believe she came alone. She lived in New York until 1857. While in NY she met a John Sharp from Lincolnshire, England. He asked for her hand in marriage, but she refused to marry him until he converted to Catholicism. He moved on to Evanston, IL where he worked as a butcher and owned a meat packing business. He eventually converted to Catholicism and they wed in 1857. She moved to Evanston with him where they bore 7 children together: 5. James Charles born 12 February 1858; married to Anna M. Smith. 6. Edward Anthony born 26 August 1859. He first married a Katherine Blanche Salisbury (or Katherine Mary Salisbury) from Abergele Wales. His first wife died after her house coat caught on fire when a spark flew out from the fireplace in their home. They bore two children together. His second wife was Catherine Mary Atkinson from Green Bay, Wisconsin and they bore 16 children together. 7. Elizabeth born 1861; never married. 8. Hannah Catherine born January 1863; never married. 9. John Baptist born 1865; married Matie Shinnick. 10. Joseph born 01 November 1866; never married. 11.

I've often wondered why I got the "genealogy bug" and no one else in my family seems to care as much ...they look at me blankly as I, off the top of my head, run down the family tree from the 1700s to present to explain how we're related to some guy in California that I met on the net. LOLL Happy Thanksgiving all....and thank you for another year of sharing your Lake Co genealogy with everyone on the list. Kathy -Your Listless THE GENEALOGY ANGEL by Patty Whitney Gravies It happens suddenly, without warning.You are going about your own business when-----BAM!!------your life is changed forever. You are no longer able to resist the strong desire to do something you have never really thought about doing before. You suddenly want to spend all of your time with books, computers, newspapers, old photographs, and lots and lots of dead people. You start to enjoy going to old courthouses and cemeteries. What has happened to you? Are you crazy? How can your life be changed so drastically so suddenly? Well, you are not really crazy, although some people might think so. You have just been selected to be the "THE FAMILY HISTORIAN." It has become my personal philosophy that there is a genealogy angel out there whose sole job is to select one person (or maybe two) to be in charge of protecting and recording each family's history. It seems that God finds family groups to be very important. After all, a lot of the first part of the Bible deals with who beget whom. (Beget sort of means "Who's yo' mama?"--or thereabouts). Adam and Eve are going to be the only people in Paradise who don't have a belly button. Everyone else was beget by someone. Keeping track of who beget whom was probably not a problem at first. Families sort of stuck together. As the world's population grew and families kept expanding, someone had to keep a record of who belonged with what family. St. Peter probably started keeping records because no one on Earth knew how to read or write yet. Oral histories were passed on and people kept pretty good track of their families' oral histories because there was nothing else to do at night and in the rain and snow but talk about the family. Gradually, though, the world continued to expand. Writing was invented, and then reading was invented so people could understand the writing. Some people wrote down who was their family, but others didn't see the point. As people moved around a lot, sometimes families were separated and family histories were lost. Not everyone knew how to read and write. Oral histories were lost. For hundreds of years family histories were lost when the grim reaper claimed those who held the lore in their heads. Then, I think, St. Peter decided to do something about the shameless lack of respect for roots and family history. Each family was to have someone who would become totally focused on capturing and recording the begets of each family. These Family Historians would have the job not only of collecting the present day family into groups and recording their histories, but also of trying to undo some of the neglect of the past. So, don't be surprised if one day you are minding your own business and you suddenly feel a tap on the shoulder but when you look around there is no one there. It is simply the genealogy angel tapping you on the back to say, "You're it." From that day forward you won't be able to help yourself. You are going to have to take on the very important job of Family Historian. Do it well. ==== INTAKE Mailing List ==== Lake co Marriages http://members.tripod.com/~KHuish/lkmar.htm Lake Co Births http://members.tripod.com/~KHuish/lkbirth.htm Lake Co Biographies http://users.rootsweb.com/~inlake/lkbios.htm ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237

Dear esteemed and knowledgeable listers. I have just received a clue as to the area my ROE ancestors were living and need your assistance. Does anyone have any knowledge as to where one could find information regarding King Street? This address came from a record of death for a four year old child dated March 30, 1846. The Parish information is St. Mary's, Parish of Clonmel, Cove in the Union of Cobh & Glanmire, Diocese of Cloyne. The ancestor who lived there was Robert Henry ROE and his wife Elizabeth Jane (nee TENNANT) and I am wondering what part of the city this home would have been located and any history of the area ca 1846? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Trying to make a small crack in my brick wall Jane, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
