A big THANK YOU to everyone (so many nice people) who provided suggestions, info and leads re. my inquiry re. my g. grandfather Joseph Page. I now have a lot of research to do and for that I am most appreciative. I did take Geralyn's suggestion and purchase a record from IFHF re. a Joseph Page. And, I thank her so much for that suggestion. I'm not certain yet whether the record applies to my Joseph Page, whose parents were Christopher and Mary Page. According to his Civil War enrollment card, he was b. in Connaught, Ireland, abt. 1835. All of my records show him b. bet. 1835-38. Here's the info. from IFHF. Perhaps it might be helpful to someone else, as well. Name: Joseph Page Date of Birth/Baptism: 4 Jan 1831 Address: Millinstara Parish: Clontuskert County: Galway Denomination: Roman Catholic Father: Page, Christopher Mother: Roe, Catherine Occupation: Not recorded Sponsor 1: Comer, Patrick Sponsor 2: Loughnane, Catherine No notes or other info provided Knowing so little about Ireland, I don't know where or what Millinstara is. I can't find anything to correspond with that name. I didn't purchase any other IFHF records. There is a 1828 marr. rec. listed for Christopher Page at the above location but none for Catherine Roe in 1828, but there is one for that date for Mary Roe. Maybe her name was Mary Catherine or Catherine Mary Roe. Again, thanks everyone. Allison
