    1. [IRL-KERRY] Knowing " where they were all from "

    3. Hello Ray, despite always knowing where our great grandmama Catherine Callaghan, ( whose father was Jerry Callaghan ) came from in Cork - down to the actual fields - I STILL cannot find her baptismal record , which should be Ballinhassig about 1840 ….. and we have the names of brothers & sisters, nephews & nieces etc. so perhaps it's all academic, and those who don't know what part of Ireland their family came from can adopt whatever place they most fancy! It would be a lot less hassle. At least the US, Australian and New Zealand listers have the possible option of searching ship's registers and port documents, something that British listers can only envy, as their families came with no paper trail to search at all.
