Happy St Patrick's Day to you all! There couldn't be a more auspicious day to see if anyone has any links to my gr gr grandparents Daniel Sheahan and Mary Madigan. My gr grandfather - Patrick Sheahan emigrated alone from Co. Limerick to Melbourne, Australia c 1857 when he was about 20 years old. I have all family details in Australia, but none from Ireland. Regards Kevin Patrick Sheahan Melbourne, Australia

Here is another 10 Euro's worth looking for Margaret Culhane b ca 1853 and her parents Timothy Culhane and Bridget OMara. This is the only Timothy death/burial from 1851 thru 1903 or so it looked promising: Timothy Culhane Date of Death 18/09/1880 Age 65 Parish: Askeaton Address: Ballyneety Married Occupation: Labourer Informant: Bridget Culhane, Householder Address: Ballyneety Only 2 marriages from 1831 - 1860s, one in 1842, about right, the other in 1858, a bit too late Date of Marriage: 23/07/1842 Parish: Rathkeale Husband: Timothy Culhane, Roman Catholic Wife: Bridget Moore, Roman Catholic Witnesses: Michael Moylan and Patrick McMahon Maybe OMara just flew out the window!! Charlie in NY

All righty then, let's write the person w/ the POWER....Mr. Seamus Brennan!

Is there anyone on the list searching the Hogan surname? Perhaps the Sheehan surname? I never see these two names mentioned! My grandfather, James John Hogan b. Cleveland 1885, has two sponsors on certificate of baptism - Thomas Sheehan, Hannora Sheehan. How connected? On the IGI found a marriage record for a Thomas Sheehan/Hanora Spillane m. 28 Feb 1865. Possibly Cork Co. Carole in Georgia, across the pond

I believe I may have located where my ancestors came from in Co Limerick. I have narrowed it down to Hospital Parish which I believe is part of the Cashel & Emly Diocese. Don't know what town or village yet. How, and is it possible, to get records from this parish? I don't plan on going to Ireland until 2014 for our next Clan gathering unless I hit the Lottory sooner. Any suggestions? Mike

I believe you have been writing to the wrong person, Olivia Mitchell. Olivia is a member of the opposition in the Dail,and at best all she can do is protest. The Minister is Seamus Brennan, minister for Arts, Sports and Tourism, and is the person with the "power". If Olivia raises your protests in the Dail I am sure his reply will be "I did not receive any protests". My tuppence worth Sean -----Original Message----- From: irl-limerick-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irl-limerick-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of littlehouseantiques@att.net Sent: 16 March 2008 13:55 To: irl-limerick@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IRL-LIMERICK] Irish Family History Foundation Thanks JJ for posting; I have done as you suggested an emailed my 'two cents' to Olivia Mitchell. Basically my suggestions for her were to allow people to "subscribe" and obtain unlimited access to all the records for certain time periods and barring that approach to improve the search capabilities so that one has a reasonable "shot" at getting the right record prior to paying for it. Has it dawned on anyone else how completely unhelpful it is that when looking up marriages you can only see ONE of the parties involved? It is essential to know both the Bride and the Grooms' name on a particular record to be sure you have the "right" marriage record, but the way this web site's searches are set up it only shows you either the Groom or the Bride's record (never both names together). I spent hours yesterday combing through County Limerick's records trying to "correlate" names for marriage records--which it is possible to do (but only if the surnames you are searching are fairly uncommon). One might do it with more common names, or narrow one's searches if you are absolutely certain of the parties given names, but it takes a very very long time even when working w/ an uncommon name so really isn't terribly practical in terms of time. In case anyone is interested this is what I was doing: I took the name of my bride (fairly rare) LUBY and found all the marriages for females w/ that surname for the time period that I'm looking for. Then for each LUBY bride I found, I noted the year of the record (and then laboriously went through each and every parish until I determined what parish the record was from). Once I had that info, I then took the year and entered the Groom's surname SHANAHAN and extracted all the given names of the males for that particular year. Then, but putting in the groom's surname, the groom's given name, the particular year and the KNOWN parish that the Bride's record was from I was able to determine if there was a correlating LUBY / SHANAHAN marriage. I'm very glad I did this because my research showed me that there were NO correlating records that matched my criteria and that it would have been a complete waste to pay for (sight unseen) records. In other words there were lots of records that could have been my LUBY bride and lots of records that could have been my SHANAHAN groom in the right time frame in the right place but NONE of them were in the right time and place and parish AT THE SAME TIME, ergo none of the records would have been worth paying for! To better explain what I was doing here is the info that I ended up with: 4 Marriages for female Luby/Looby s that are in the right time period (1825-1834) in County Limerick: 1. Looby, Catherine 1829 Parish: KILBEHENNY Corresponding male Shanahan marriages 1829 ALL given names: Shanahan, Cornelius 1829 Shanahan, Denis 1829 Shanahan, Matthew 1829 Shanahan, Michael 1829 Shanahan, Michael 1829 However NONE of these male Shanahan Marriages took place in 1829 in KILBEHENNY so we can rule this Catherine LOOBY 1829 marriage OUT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. Looby, Ellen 1827 Parish: GALBALLY & AHERLOW Corresponding male Shanahan marriages 1827 ALL given names: Shanahan, Daniel 1827 Shanahan, James 1827 Shanahan, Patrick 1827 Shanahan, Robert 1827 However NONE of these male Shanahan Marriages took place in 1827 in GALBALLY & AHERLOW so we can rule this Ellen LOOBY 1827 marriage OUT. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. Looby, Mary 1834 Parish: GALBALLY & AHERLOW Corresponding male Shanahan marriages 1834 ALL given names: Shanahan, John 1834 Shanahan, John 1834 Shanahan, Patrick 1834 Shanahan, Philip 1834 Shanahan, Timtohy 1834 (note mis-transcription of given name Timothy) However NONE of these male Shanahan Marriages took place in 1834 in GALBALLY & AHERLOW So we can rule this Mary LOOBY Marriage record OUT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4. Looby, Elizabeth 1833 Parish: SOLOHEAD & OOLA Corresponding male SHANAHAN marriages in 1833 ALL given names: Shanahan, James 1833 Shanahan, John 1833 Shanahan, John 1833 Shanahan, Julian 1833 Shanahan, Mathew 1833 Shanahan, Michael 1833 Shanahan, Michael 1833 Shanahan, William 1833 Shannahan John 1833 However NONE of these male Shanahan Marriages took place in 1833 in SOLOHEAD & OOLA so we can rule this Elizabeth LOOBY Marriage Record OUT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------------- Original message from "JJ Woods" <woodsjj@gmail.com>: -------------- > Please read the following news item from Irish Times Newspaper.

People also baptised babies themselves if they were gravely ill. This was permitted in the Catholic Church. The baptism should then have been ratified by the church and entered in the register of course but I'm sure there were many who didn't get around to it. My husband's great grandfather baptised a couple of his own children, but this has been noted in the Church register. Cheers Beryl PS Also on St Patrick's Day you must remember Murphy's Law.

Marie, You are the first person I've seen with relatives in Feenagh/ Kilmeedy. My great grandparents were from that parish. In your travels through genealogy have you come across a John Reidy or Bridget Leary/O'Leary ( Thomas Leary and Julia Fitzpatrick) John was born in 1840 and Bridget in 1842. I too am not happy with the way the IFHF has handled their indexing. It is sooooo difficult to find people with names of 15 people being the same. They need to improve the chances of finding these people maybe keeping the date concealed for payment. The way it is they are making big bucks on this, most of the time giving nothing in return. If you have hear of the people above let me know.

Limerick - children ?John b. 1841, Mary Bridget b. 1843,(my great grandmother) Michael b 1846 in Ireland (John's relationship to this family is uncertain) At least three other children were born after they arrived in the US either in Vermont or Canada : Thomas, Francis and William. Immigrated to US before 1850 and settled in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Family tombstone gives Limerick as place of origen in Ireland. Maureen

My original ancestor had three daughters 2 of which I have all the details via family records but no mention of them anywhere until they married. Elaine
