Hello, In my searching for McCormack's, I have come across a tombstone in Louisville Kentucky of a Johanna McCormack, widow of James McCormack. The tombstone says she hailed from Galway. She had children Anastasia and Timothy in Ireland, that are buried with her as well. The tombstone is in the family plot of Thomas Smith of unknown Ireland. Anastasia McCormack and Thomas Smith I believe to be married in Ireland. I believe they all emigrated in the mid 1870's - mid1880's. She died before civil registration in Louisville, and her Catholic Church records are destroyed. I read through archives, and noted another person searching for KY/Galway connections. I emailed, but got a dead end. Other tombstones included Flaherty's. She lived with Mary Cleary, widow of Patrick McCormack, a member of the British Army. Mary Cleary hailed from Tipperary. If anyone recognizes anything , please advise me. Thank you, Jean

Jean, Not sure if this has any value to you but my family came to Canada in 1882 after being sponsored by the McCormack family. My family came from Galway. I have an article from local paper ten years ago that I could scan into a pdf or jpg file you if you want it. (You will have to request this off list as attachments are not allowed on list) . Basically the family ran a local mill, lumber company and hotel. They sponsored several other families (ie: Bingham and possibly Wood). There is also information on them in a history book about a local church that was built by one of my ancestors and is named the McCormick Memorial Church. There are too many names to pass on, but if you look at the 1901 census of Canada and search by the name McCormack you will find many names in the York Region, especially Whitchurch or Stouffville.

Peter, I to am searching for My Mitchells from Galway. I have some information from a tombstone saying 1851 Civil Parish of Kilquain. Also there is an Ann McCormack somehow related to my Mitchells. I have a Cemetery deed with her name on it. Does any of this sound familiar. My Gr-Grandfather always said he came up from the south. No proof of this.
