Peter at pslk@rogers.com writes: << Does anybody have a copy of the Mitchell Book referred to below? >> Peter, I do <gr>. The info is "A Guide to Irish Churches and Graveyards", by Brian Mitchell. The ISBN (apparently, hard-cover only) is 0-8063-1266-1 and the publisher is Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., in Baltimore, MD. The book was originally published in 1990, and my copy is the third printing in 2001. It's not cheap - I think it was about $30 - but it's very useful for my purposes. If you Google the publisher, you can get the exact address, website, phone number, etc. Or, go to Amazon..... I think I ordered it by phone from Baltimore.

Jane, Sorry, just a little clarification svp. The list of names below, is the order surname followed by given name or given name followed by surname?

Hi, Anyone out there have family from the Kinvarra area in Connemara? I have Martin/Martyn family from that area. They married into Lynch, Gibbons, and Joyces. Thanks, Carol

There are two Kivara's in Galway. One in Connemara and spelled with two "r's" Kinvarra and the other near Kilcolgan and Oranmore. The Connemara one is pronounced "Kin WARRA" rather than a "v" sound. ----- Original Message ----- From: <CathOneill@aol.com> To: <IRL-GALWAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [GALWAY] Advice needed, please! > Barbara > The LDS film no. 0979692 is for the parish records of 9 Galway RC > parishes. > They include Kinvarr(1831-53) which is the one I presume they are > referring > to. > > To check out the other parishes on the film: > go to _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) > Click on LIBRARY (options are HOME-SEARCH-SHARE-LIBRARY) > Click on Family history library catalogue (underneath LIBRARY) > Click on Film/Fiche search > Enter 0979692 > > > Cathy > > > ==== IRL-GALWAY Mailing List ==== > To unsub or change your Irl-Galway mailing mode: > http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/IRL/IRL-GALWAY.html > Jane Lyons' From Ireland County Galway site: > http://www.from-ireland.net/contents/galwayconts.htm > > ============================== > New!

I have a couple Richard Clarkes but no Roderick's. I have a John KILLIAN who married a Margaret KELLY in Moylough, Co. Galway, Ireland before 1945. They had a child, Thomas KILLIAN. They may have had more. My Great Grandfather published the history 1945-1946 thereabouts. This is in response to a request but my reply bounced back so I am sending through the group. Mary Jo

Barbara The LDS film no. 0979692 is for the parish records of 9 Galway RC parishes. They include Kinvarr(1831-53) which is the one I presume they are referring to.

I am researching two names in Galway....Whelan and Walsh. In one of the sources, I found a listing of towns, and surnames, that might be relevant to my search. The header of that is below. Can someone guide me as to where I can get the parish records on film at LDS? Is this a website? Thank you very much. Barbara Inhabitants of Kinvara, Duras and Killina 1834 If you should find a surname of yours listed below you may want to check out the parish records on film at LDS as #0979692. You may find more records! Earliest Record: b.6.1831;m.7.1831 Missing Dates: b.5.1837-6.1843,8.1853-7.1854;m.5.1837-6.1843,8.1853-7.1854

I have been putting this off for years while working on another family line (KEEHAN/KEEGAN) but now I think I should begin work on my CLARKE line. Unlike my KEEHAN/KEEGAN line where I have to dig for every shred of info I can get, I have a ton of info on my CLARKE line but no records of verification. So now I would like to begin to verify the info I have and would appreciate tips on where and how. I also hope that maybe someone out there is also working on this CLARKE line and we can put our heads together. My great grandfather published the Clarke Family History in the 1940's. He travelled to Ireland and met many family members while there. While he has provided us with a ton of info, he didn't provide any sources for records. This is the task I have set for myself. Here is what I have: Malachy CLARKE b. before 1757 Galway m. about 1772 in Galway to Bridget GAVIN d. ? Children: John, Andrew, Jeremiah (Darby), Bridget and Sabina CLARKE. John CLARKE (son of Malachy & Bridget) b. before 1806 Galway m. about 1821 in Ireland (Galway?) to Mary MANION She is the daughter of William & Mary MANION - same names not related. d. ? Children: Mary, Patrick, Bridget, Julia, Sabina, Malachy, William, John and Catherine CLARKE. Patrick CLARKE (son of John & Mary) b. March 17, 1824 (of course), Greenville - near Killasolin, Galway emmigrated to USA: Feb. 27, 1850 (41 days at sea) m. Catherine WADE born Apr. 15, 1846 in Ballinahattina, Galway. She is the daughter of Hugh WADE and Catherine FOX. She emmigrated to USA: Feb. 1866. They were married in the States. My question is where do I go for what documents? I would also like to find where they are buried but at this point would be very happy to prove what information I already have. Please, could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you for any advice. Mary Jo

Hi Debbie, Have you come across The O'Malley Journal ? Published annually from 1984 to 1988 as The O'Malley Clan Record. Published in 1989 and 1990 as The O'Malley Clan Annual. None then until 1997 which is the only copy I have - not sure if there have been any since. The Editor is given as Shelia O'Malley Mulloy, Carrowbaun, Wesport, Co. Mayo. Declan

Does any have any Birmingham info from Dunmore Where would somebody be buried if they were married and died in Dunmore? Phyllis

One of the few really good on-line maps is of the Connemara area of Co. Galway. It's at > http://www.connemara.net/map/index.html <. Go to the drop-down Region menu to "Rosmuc", and you'll be on your way. The map has a variety of features - changing scale, moving images..... just the sort of thing you want on a map of this type.

It is said that our family once walked upon the grounds of Galway county. I am hoping that with this post I will find someone who has all the research fully completed on my family!!! I must be dreaming! Thomas C. Maley (O'Malley) born 1813-1818 Wife: Mary Margaret Newman (Noonan) m. 1836-1838 John Patrick Maley b. 10/19/1838 Michael Maley b. 1840? Thomas Maley Jr. b. 1849? It is said that this family sailed from Liverpool to US abt. 1851-1853. They immediately settled in Brookville, Indiana and two more children were born to them. Margaret b. 1854 and James b. 1856. I am hoping this sound very familiar to someone out there!!! Thanks..... Debbie from Indiana

They were known as forty shilling freeholders. The level was raised to £10 in 1829 in a political ploy to soothe the rage in certain English circles at the granting of Catholic Emancipation.

According to Gerard Madden's book 'For God or King', the history of Mountshannon begins on 1738 when Alexander Woods leased the land. His grandson, Sergeant Ringrose Woods, born 1784. In 1839, Ringrose Woods was living in March Township, Carleton County (now Ottawa), Ontario, Canada. My Young ancestors came from Mountshannon to the same place. I know of the Long family coming from Mountshannon to nearby Nepean Township. I would like to know of other Mounshannon families who came to Eastern Ontario.
