Address letter to Parish Office St Michaels Church Athy Co Kildare Ireland Elaine Foley was the Parish Sec. back in 2001....... don't know if she is still there tho. I had prompt reply back on my inquery. I sent donation of 25 dollars for the info as asked + 3 dollars for stamp back to me and received all the info they had in the Parish registers for my people in Athy. Very nice very helpful people there... I believe copy machine went out for some of my info as I received a few pages copied in long hand... Your Colemans should be in the registers.... send them his birth date ect.... ask for a mentions of ALL the Coleman surname and any other surnames that married into them ... ...Patrick's fathers lines and his mothers lines ... as far back as they have them mentioned in the Parish registers + the witnesses to the events... thats most impt you get them hence the donation...you will not be spending your money in vain believe me... I was sent marriage and baptism of child of one surname that was back in 1754.... that was a luck fine as the parish registers are not in that good of condition from way back then ..the rest of entrys started in the 1820s... There are no Colemans in any of the records I received tho...just cked.... Good luck SLC
