Would you please tell me where you find this article? Was there an Irish newspaper in Louisville? My French ancestors were from Galway and some lived in Louisville.

Lillian, the person who posted that article from the Kentucky Irish American newspaper to the list is Rosemary <[email protected]>. I don't know where she got that particular information, but I have an interest in Irish American newspapers and publishers in general, so I thought I would offer some comments about the Kentucky Irish American in particular and about Irish Amrican newspapers in general. Quite a few Irish American newspapers were published in the US, especially in the latter half of the 1800s and early 1900s. Some of them had wide circulation among the Irish in the US - beyond the locations where they were published, so don't think an Irish American newspaper published in Boston has nothing in it about your ancestors who lived in Chicago. Many people on the list are probably familiar with the "Search for Missing Friends" series of books (now online) that index the "Information Wanted" ads that appeared in the Boston Pilot (another Irish American newspaper). Similar ads from the New York based newspaper "The Irish-American" are indexed in the book "Irish Relatives and Friends" (comp. Laura Murphy DeGrazia & Diane Fitzpatirk Haberstroh). The ads indexed in these books were placed mostly by Irish who were looking for contact with relatives who had previously or recently arrived in the US. They often include descriptions of the "missing people" (where they were from in Ireland, when they arrived, where they had lived or intended to live, etc.), and the names and addresses (an sometimes the relationships) of persons to contact with information about them. The Boston Pilot and The Irish-American had very wide circulation in the US, so the ads in them were not confined to people who lived in the Boston or NYC areas. Irish American newspapers had other things of interest to the Irish community besides these ads, including news from Ireland and local news of interest to the Irish community (often Catholic, but not necessarily). Obits of local Irish Americans in Irish American newspapers sometimes went into much more detail than the regular local newspaper. [See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nyirish/Index%20of%20American%20Irish%20Newspaper.html.] You can read about Louisville's version - the Kentucky Irish American - at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Irish_American. The article there begins: The Kentucky Irish American was an ethnic weekly newspaper in Louisville, Kentucky, which catered to Louisville's Irish community. It was first published on July 4, 1898, founded by William M. Higgins. It was a four-page weekly. Higgins would run the paper until his death on June 9, 1925. He based it in the heavy-Irish neighborhood of Limerick at 319 Green Street, even after the Irish residents began moving away from Limerick to other parts of Louisville. The Wiki article ends with this sentence: "The University of Louisville has copies of almost all issues of the Kentucky Irish American, held on sixteen pieces of microfilm due to the paper's fragility." The article also has a link to the University of Louisville Archives and Records Center: http://library.louisville.edu/uarc/microfilm.html#irishamer. That page describes microfilmed material they have for sale, including all 16 reels of the Kentucky Irish American newspaper. There is also a link there to a book about the Louisville newspaper http://books.google.com/books?id=OfpRzTVX9N0C, where you can view selected pages. Copies of Irish American newspapers are sometimes on microfilm. Check local public library catalogs online. Local colleges and universities in an area sometimes will have copies also (especially local Catholic universities if the publication had a Catholic viewpoint or if the ethnic group was predominately Catholic, like the Irish). The Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies (now part of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania) in Philadelphia has a collection of ethnic newspapers, as does the New York Public Library. Notre Dame University also has a collection of Catholic newspapers on microfilm. I don't know about the interlibrary loan possibilities from these places. Try Googling "Irish American newspapers" and the city of interest to you, or the name of the newspaper if you know it. I hope these suggestions have helped. I have solved several problems of origins in Ireland using information from Irish American newspapers. They can be hard to find and use, and rather hit-or-miss in their contents, but they can produce some absolute gems of genealogical information if you are lucky.

I will be heading back next April and I thought maybe others who were planning on a trip would like the information http://www.nationalarchives.ie/contactus/agencies.html Phyllis

Kentucky Irish American Louisville, KY 01 Sept. 1900 A mysterious drowning case was recently reported, when the body of Mrs. Kate Lynskey, of Knocknacarra, was found floating outside of the Galway pier. She had been missing from home for several days, but it was not expected that anything serious had happened to her.

Kentucky Irish American Louisville, KY 15 Feb. 1908 Constable Charles O'Reilly, of Athenry, has been presented with a testimonial by the Royal Humane Society for the saving of the life of P. L. Broderick, who was rescued from drowning at Salthill last summer.

Phyllis Thank you for this information, that will explain why I noticed on a Galway map that Peterswell Parish seemed to be in two sections and I was wondering if I had ordered the wrong film, but I have order one for Kilbeacanty, so I should look for a reference for Kilthomas Parish.

This book may be of interested to Galway emigrants around the late 1800's.  It's available at:   http://www.eneclann.ie http://www.eneclann.ie/acatalog/IET0048.html Mr. Tuke's Fund for Assisted Emigration 1882-5 Ref: IET0048 ISBN: 1-84630-056-8 This extraordinary book, was a private collection of 20 separately published pieces relating to work by the Committee of Mr. Tuke's Fund. This fund was established in 1882 to assist emigration from the west of Ireland to America, specifically the Unions of Belmullet, Newport & Swineford in Co. Mayo, and Clifden, Oughterard and the Aran Islands in Co. Galway. 9,482 people were assisted by this fund up to 1885, and this book contains a vast amount of detail about the working of the fund, but also about the experience of the emigrants themselves. This includes extensive descriptions of the places where emigrants came from, the emigrants themselves, the process of emigration (including anecdotal reports on their experiences), where they went (USA, Canada and Australia), a detailed list of the specific places they were settled in the US, dates of emigration and sailing details. Most unusually the book contains extensive letters home from the emigrants on arrival. It also analyses what happened to their small holdings in Ireland after they left, giving a full list of emigrants' names and the townlands they came from.This one-off book also has an inserted hand written letter from James H. Tuke to the Duke of Bedford, President of the Committee, explaining that he was sending him this copy of the Reports to better understand the experience of his fund to that date.  Price:   €20.58 (€25.00 Including VAT at 21.5%) VAT is only charged on customers in the European Union

I was in Peterswell last week. The area is much smaller than I realized so it might be helpful to share information with others who have ancestors from this area. The people there are so kind and helpful. I met a couple at the Kilthomas Church. They contacted another couple and we visited the Kilthomas Cemetery. They were so helpful! One of the gentlemen explained that Kilthomas refers to the church and cemetery. Peterswell is where the small businesses are located, and the area is Gardenblake. I am interested in any information related to this area--particularly from 1800 to 1870. Karen
