Debbie, There is a small townland in Castlecomer called Myhora, but I do not know its exact location. There are minutes from the Kilkenny Council meeting in 2005 that reference the place in regards to a death. · Michael Brennan, Myhora, Castlecomer, Co.

I am primarily searching the Castlecomer area of Co. Kilkenny, but am also searching for any Huguenot or British military history in the county. My LARGE ancestors were Ch or Ire., and might have served in the military in the 1700's. Other Kilkenny names are BOWE and KELLY and KAVANAUGH, all RC. I will be in Co. Kilkenny in May, but will only have a few days to research, so I am trying to organize my research beforehand. I want to visit local libraries and bookshops, any advice welcome! ___________________________________________ Deborah Large Fox www.deborahlarge.com

Preparing for my May trip, I am trying to organize my research. Hoping to research the Wandesforde estate papers, I downloaded the 202 page finding aide to the collection. While many items are apparently not useful to genealogical research, there are many papers dealing with rents, tenants, and the mines. Has anyone looked at the Colliery Account books or rent receipts? What I am wondering is--do these contain lists of names or are they simply financial in nature? I will only have a day or two to research at the NLI (it is clear that I will have to make another trip!), and would like to narrow my list of files to request before I go to maximize my chances of obtaining lists of names. ___________________________________________ Deborah Large Fox www.deborahlarge.com

Emmetsburg Democrat, Emmetsburg, Palo Alto County, Iowa, Wednesday, February 25, 1885 DIED Tuesday February 3, 1885, Mrs. Anastasia Nolan aged 63 years. Mrs. Nolan was the wife of James Nolan who died here about eleven years ago and was the sister of James Fitzgerald. Deceased was a native of the parish of Kilmanuck, county Kilkenny, Ireland, and came to this county with her husband in 1849 settling in this country some thirty seven years ago, enduring all the hardships that the early pioneer is subject to. She leaves a family of five children grown to manhood and womanhood, Bridget, John, William, Patrick and James who have the sympathy of all in this their sad bereavement. The remains of Mrs. Nolan were taken to the Catholic cemetery last Wednesday followed by a large possession of mourning friends.

Below is some information about old land divisions in Ireland that may be helpful in your research. In addition you may be interested in pursuing or purchasing the books or CDs listed below so I thought I would pass the information along. Maryann THE IMPORTANCE OF GEOGRAPHY in Irish Genealogy Irish-Americans hoping to establish the ancestral home of their immigrant ancestor must determine the name and location of his/her townland. The townland is the smallest land division in the country (the Ordnance Survey of 1846 identified 60,462 of them) and was named centuries ago in relation to a local landmark (e.g., mountain, bog, church, etc.). Irish records, on the other hand, are not organized by townland; instead they are divided among six other administrative (i.e., artificial) divisions: counties, baronies, civil parishes, dioceses, poor law unions, and probate districts. Brian Mitchell, author of A NEW GENEALOGICAL ATLAS OF IRELAND, has prepared succinct descriptions of these jurisdictions: COUNTY: "This division reflects the imposition of the English system of local government in Ireland. Begun in the 12th century, the thirty-two county framework was completed with the creation of County Wicklow in 1606." BARONY: "This is now an obsolete division, but in the 19th century it was widely used. There are 333 baronies, and they also tended to reflect the holdings of Irish clans. Baronies and counties became established in the government land surveys of the 17th century." CIVIL PARISH: "Beginning in the 17th century the so-called civil parish, based on the early Christian and medieval monastic and church settlements, was used extensively in various surveys. By the mid-19th century the pattern of civil parishes was well established. Civil parishes, numbering 2,509 in all [today], frequently break both barony and county boundaries, indicating they were drawn up at an earlier period." DIOCESE: "Three ecclesiastical synods--Cashel in 1101, Rathbreasail in 1111, and Kells in 1152--imposed a diocesan organization of four provinces: Armagh, Cashel, Dublin, and Tuam, each headed by an archbishop and under them twenty-one bishops in charge of as many dioceses. These diocesan boundaries have remained virtually constant to the present day and are in use by both the Catholic and Anglican Churches. The number of dioceses has, however, varied with consolidations through time by both the Catholic and Anglican Churches." POOR LAW UNION: "Under the Poor Relief Act, 1838, Ireland was divided into districts or 'unions' in which the local ratable inhabitants were to be financially responsible for the care of all paupers in their areas. By 1850, 163 unions had been created. The local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898, adopted the poor law union as the basic administrative division in place of the civil parish and barony." PROBATE DISTRICT: "In 1858 a principal registry and eleven district registries were established for the purpose of proving wills and granting administrations." The Second Edition A NEW GENEALOGICAL ATLAS OF IRELAND addresses many of the issues created by the administrative divisions of Ireland's geography. Mr. Mitchell, who has arranged the ATLAS by Irish county, depicts in maps the relationship between the county and each of the following: civil parish, barony, and poor law union, as well by Roman Catholic parishes and Presbyterian congregations. It is a time-honored reference work of Irish genealogy. A vital companion to A NEW GENEALOGICAL ATLAS OF IRELAND is the sole publication to show the relationship of the townland to Ireland's major civil jurisdictions: the GENERAL ALPHABETICAL INDEX to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes and Baronies of Ireland, better known as the "Townland Index." Based on the Irish census of 1851, the 968 pages of charts in the Townland Index key every townland in Ireland--from Abartagh to Youngstown---to the corresponding county, barony, parish, and poor law union. The book also furnishes the sheet number of the Ordnance Survey Maps where each townland may be found. Reprinted with the permission of the National Library of Ireland, the Townland Index is now available in an attractive hardcover edition. In the next article you will find descriptions of A NEW GENEALOGICAL ATLAS OF IRELAND and the GENERAL ALPHABETICAL INDEX, along with several other standard reference works in Irish genealogy. If you are a wee bit Irish, and especially if you are tracking ancestors of the Irish Famine era, you can't go wrong with any of them. ===================================================== ST.

Second Edition This ATLAS, by Irish genealogist and geographer Brian Mitchell, is a key resource in Irish genealogical research. Why? Because successful genealogical research in Ireland depends on a knowledge of geography, and this ATLAS maps the six administrative divisions into which Irish records fall: counties, baronies, civil parishes, dioceses, poor law unions, and probate districts. For the Second Edition, Mr. Mitchell has added maps detailing the location of Roman Catholic parishes in all 32 counties of Ireland and Presbyterian congregations in the nine counties of Northern Ireland. Now, for the first time ever, this one volume contains a complete geographical picture of the major religious denominations in Ireland during the middle years of the 19th century.

The work described here was prepared under the auspices of the British government for almost that purpose. The 968 densely printed pages show the county, barony, parish, and poor law union in which the 70,000 townlands were situated in 1851, as well as the location of the townlands on the Great Ordnance Survey maps. Appendices contain separate indexes to parishes and baronies.

Third Edition John Grenham's TRACING YOUR IRISH ANCESTORS is arguably the best book ever written on Irish genealogy. Not since Margaret Falley's "Irish and Scotch-Irish Ancestral Research," written in the early 1960s, has there been a book that combines all the best features of a textbook and a reference book. This work expertly describes the various steps in the research process while at the same time providing an indispensable body of source materials for immediate use. With its step-by-step instructions in the location and use of genealogical records, its discussion of civil records of birth, marriage, and death, along with land records and wills, and its list of Roman Catholic parish records and county source lists, it is easily the most useful book in Irish genealogy.

Carried out between 1848 and 1864 under the direction of Sir Richard Griffith, this survey of Ireland was intended to determine the amount of tax each person should pay towards the support of the poor within their poor law union. The Valuation is arranged by county, barony, poor law union, civil parish, and townland, and it lists every landholder and every householder in Ireland at that time---about 1.25 million people.

Since then, reconstructing the lost records has been a passion of historians and genealogists alike, who have succeeded in patching together substitute records and bringing to light the various indexes, abstracts, and transcriptions of records that had been made before the fire. Many such records have been published by GPC and are included on this CD.

Together, they are a valuable instrument for tracing Irish family origins. The first, the "Special Report," shows the areas in Ireland with which about 2,400 family names are most frequently associated.

It consists, in part, of 257 additional genealogies of Anglo-Irish and Anglo-Norman families that settled in Ireland following the English invasion.

Originally published by GPC, the majority of these lists derive from homegrown Irish sources. This is what makes the CD so remarkable, because the Irish generally did not maintain emigration records. In fact, what information we do have on Irish immigrants comes almost entirely from American sources, and prior to the 1890s that information is woefully spare, usually limited to name, age, occupation, and sex (in accordance with the U.S. immigration laws of the time).

The first part treats the history and method used by Griffith and his colleagues in producing the valuations. In the second half, the author burrows into the intricacies of the valuations, showing how an understanding of the abbreviations and shorthand used by the valuators can lead the researcher from the valuation to other Irish records and additional discoveries concerning one's ancestors. The rich appendices to the work include a glossary of key terms appearing in the valuations, among other things.

Preceding Griffith's by a full generation, this work names 200,000 Irish landholders--owners and tenants alike. Tithe surveys were undertaken to calculate the amount of tax payable by the landholders of Ireland for the upkeep of the Church of Ireland. Following the Composition Act of 1823, a valuation survey was carried out in every civil parish in Ireland to determine how much each landholder should pay. Over the ensuing 15 years, this survey listed all landholders in a given parish. Our CD identifies landholders by townland, size of holding, land quality, and types of crops.

At various times, the government introduced special incentives to encourage the production of linen, usually giving away spinning wheels and looms. In 1796, the Irish Linen Board published a list of almost 60,000 individuals who had received awards for planting a specified acreage of flax. Those who had planted one acre were awarded four spinning wheels, and those planting five acres were awarded a loom.

Hi Ron, What I gave you is all I have unfortunately; I did get the birth records of all the children of mary Fanning and Thomas Maher from the Kilkenny Heritage center but they had nothing further back ( or else I got only one generation depending on how they charge!).

Hi list, I have recently discovered from burial records that my ancestor Elizabeth WALL and her daughter were of the RC faith. Her husband George GOULD was a protestant. Thus they were buried in separate sections of Hebburn (Tyneside) cemetary. She and her six sibblings was baptised (1830's/40's) at St John's RC and St Mary's RC Kilkenny, her parents were married there (1832), and yet she and George (a soldier from Antrim) were married in St. John's C of I, Kilkenny(1862). This seems very strange, bearing in mind the marriage took place in Elizabeth's Home Town. Excuse my naivity for the answer may be obvious to someone aware of the religios rules / conventions, but would the RC Church have refused to marry them, or is it likely there was some other reason? Naturally I would be delighted to hear from anyone could could unravel the mistery or who might have connections with the family.

I am searching for relatives of Michael Joseph O'Farrell , ( DOB September 28, 1816) who left Goresbridge Co. Kilkenny in 1842 and came to Montreal Canada on a sailing ship the Anne Jeffrey. He had at least two siblings , John and Johanna, who also came to Canada in 1847 and 1851 respectively. He subsequently married Bridgett Marshall, daughter of Robert Marshall and Mary Maher also of Co.Kilkenny ( Tullaroan) with whom he had three sons . Upon her death in 1859, he married again and had 5 children, from whom I am descended. In his diary, he cites the death in April 11 1851 of The Rev'd Michael Brennan, Parish Priest of Goresbridge and Paulstown , calling him the "earliest and best friend he had in the world". I would be very interested in hearing from anyone in the Goresbridge area who might possibly be related on the O'Farrell side. Allanah Nova Scotia
