Eamonn, If the book you borrowed matches the one that I originally asked about, is it safe to assume that there are names, dates and associated places? Please help us out with some idea of the topics and format included in the book. It's very kind of you to have borrowed the book and to make your generous offer. Sheila in upstate NY

Hi Shiela, As I am also interested in that same info, I did find this tidbit while searching. I think it was from an exerpt from the 'Ireland Records Book'. It states, 'Any information regarding the 'Aughrim Parish History Project' should be inquired with Canon T. Sullivan, The Rectory, Aughrim, Ballinasloe, Co, Galway. PH/FAX (353)905 73849 Give it a try, I intend to! Hope all is well with you! Happy Hunting! Janet ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff?

A small book entitled: Going to Ireland, A Genealogical Researcher's Guide by Sherry Irvine and Nora M. Hickey states on p. 46: "Early in 1997 the parish of Aughrim in Galway announced that it had launched its parish history project...a profile of the parish from 1715 will be compiled. Surviving records from the outlying parishes in eastern Galway have been gathered, as they closed, at Holy Trinity Church, Aughrim." My question is whether this project was ever completed and published, and if so, where it might be available for purchase. None of my searches have turned up any satisfactory information, so hopefully a list member will know the answer. Thank you, Sheila

Others may have already discovered this, but the Galway Library site now allows you to search information from O'Donovan's field name books--http://places.galwaylibrary.ie/ You can search by townland and get useful information (though the amount varies) on the proprietor, agent, number of tenants, quality of the land, and prevailing names. Since the books were compiled in the 1830s, they help bridge the gap between the Tithes and Griffith's. Diane

Hi to everyone This is my first posting to the list I've never known where my g grandfather Patrick Kilduff was born. He has grandchildren still living who are in their eighties & nineties & none of them know either. I have a copy of his marriage certificate in 1889, when he married Ellen McAllister in Warrington, Lancashire & according to the certificate his father was Thomas Kilduff, a carpenter. On the 1911 census Patrick gave his place of birth as County Galway but I'm still not truly convinced as his wife's place of birth was listed as County Down. I have a copy of Ellen's Baptism Certificate & she was actually born in County Antrim. After the death of his wife in 1911, Patrick turned to drink & my grandmother Annie Kilduff was left to bring up her younger siblings. I've been searching the IFHF site & the only birth record I could find in the right time frame was for a Patt Kilduff born on the 12th of Feb 1867, with a father named Thomas & mother Bridget Kelly. They were living at Cornanantybeg in the parish of Clonbrock. This Patrick had a brother called Lawrence who died in 1894 & my Patrick called his son born in 1899 Lawrence, this may be pure coincidence! I also found a birth record for Michael Kilduff with the same parents living in Killian. Family lore has it that Patrick's family owned an hotel in Boston MA & that Patrick was sent to train as a priest, I haven't found any evidence of this. I'm visiting Galway in April & would love to know from any one with local knowledge the name of the church this family would have attended. Any help greatly appreciated Kind regards Maureen

I am looking for someone who can look up records for my elusive John Patrick Hyland born 1833 Ireland unk location. Perhaps someone could get to the library in Galway and dig through records for me as I am in the US. He married May 1853 Stepney Middlesex England to Mary Dwyer of Scotland. I am looking for any tid bit of information on where my HYLAND family was from in Ireland. Father was Thomas and mother was Catherine according to his marriage record. This is all I know on my elusive HYLAND clan. Thanks so much from a gal in the West Wyoming USA

I am researching the following family and would like to get in touch with others with links to the same family. Patrick FLEMING b. Abt. 1835 Co. Galway (Possibly around Tuam) He married Anne KEANE b. Abt. 1836 Co. Galway and d. January 1898 Children were: Julia FLEMING b. September 1859 Tyldesley, Lancashire William FLEMING b. January 1861 Tyldesley, Lancashire Margaret Ann FLEMING b.

Does anyone have a connection with the following family: Daniel FLEMING b. Abt. 1854 Hillsbrook, Tuam and d. June 1938 Cortoon, Tuam He married Winifide HUGHES b. June 1855 Brockagh, Tuam and d. July 1940 Cortoon, Tuam Children were: Thomas FLEMING b. February 1886 Hillsbrook Margaret FLEMING b. July 1887 Hillsbrook Peter FLEMING b. August 1888 Hillsbrook Daniel FLEMING b.

I have an Anne Fleming married to Patrick McHugh and Bridget McHugh married to Bryan McHugh in Dunmore just north of Tuam.  They would have been the previous generation with their children born in the 1830's and '40's.  Don't have any idea if there is a connection, but thought I would pass it on.   Kathleen --- On Mon, 1/17/11, LIAM FLEMING <vt.fleming@virgin.net> wrote: From: LIAM FLEMING <vt.fleming@virgin.net> Subject: [IRL-GALWAY] Patrick FLEMING b.

By _Joan Young_ (mailto:joan@volunteer.rootsweb.com) Are You Building Your Own Brick Walls? It's a new year, a new opportunity to dust off some of your trickiest research issues and take another crack at finding the answers. We all have them--brick walls, impossible to locate ancestors who we swear arrived on a mother ship from Mars and plopped full-grown in the place we first found them leaving no trail or records in their wake. Mind you, these elusive ancestors lived well before the days of the Witness Protection Program. They probably were not spies or secret agents whose identity was changed or hidden. They most likely didn't need protection from the bad guys (or maybe the good guys) despite possible family stories to the contrary. Granted there are occasions where there simply is no evidence to be found for your brick wall ancestor, but there may also be instances where your approach to breaking down the wall may need some fine tuning. Here are a few suggestions for taking a New Year's shot at cracking those long-standing brick walls. 1) If you have only considered that your SMITHs are English expand your horizons if you have no direct proof of ethnicity. Take a look at who your John SMITH married and what community he lived in and his religious affiliation. You may find that John SMITH was originally Johan SCHMIDT. Being locked into assumptions of ethnicity can result in building your own brick wall. 2) Did your Aunt Susie tell you great-grandmother Matilda was a "Cherokee Princess?" Examine anything you can find about Matilda such as census records and place of birth before you run off to check Cherokee records. Even if you don't know Matilda's maiden name, clues such as her birth location could help you establish whether Aunt Susie was on the mark or not. Since Native Americans didn't use titles such as "Princess" the use of this term could be an indication that not everything you were told was completely accurate even if there is a kernel of truth to the story. 3) Have you been accepting the family trees you found online which list no sources for your John SMITH in Arkansas being the same John SMITH who fought for the Union in the Civil War from Maine? Family trees are a great resource, but make sure you personally verify sources for the data you find there. Do not accept online unsourced information at face value. If no sources are given, contact the database submitter, when possible, to learn where they got their facts. Finding multiple trees or messages listing "facts" with no sources is no guarantee of accuracy. Others may simply have copied from the original submitter. 4) Have you given up on finding your SMITH ancestors because you searched everything online and off last year and the year before and found nothing? Thousands of new records are added online and placed in files at your local historical society library (or a society in the area where you first located your SMITHs) every year. Always start off the New Year with a fresh search to see what might have come to light or been digitized since you last checked. The point of all of these suggestions is to keep an open mind, don't jump to conclusions, and while not ignoring family stories and lore, consider other possibilities as well. Follow where the evidence trail leads you rather than leaping to conclusions or jumping at illogical connections. If you do make new discoveries about elusive brick wall ancestors be sure to post them online in an updated family tree, or on a message board or mailing list. Sharing what you have learned will help others and provide them with an opportunity to share any additional data they uncover with you.
