Hi Steve I remember this discussion being had on line back in 2005 just before I left for Ireland. I had e-mailed the NLI before leaving and got the reply as per the body of your e-mail. I then contacted the Tipperary Heritage Centre and they had the same answer. I tried to find the e-mail from them to give you a copy but as yet can't find it. That's not to say things have not changed in the last couple of years. Lawrence On.Can. Steve Franklin <macdummy@montanasky.net> wrote: Hoping someone who knows for sure can help me out.

Hi Judy, Thought I would through this in: My Catherine (C) O'Brien was born 1829, Co Limerick. Emigrated in 1849 to New York and on to San Francisco where she married William O'Brien, born 1824, Co Limerick. They had six children born in San Francisco.

The handiest way to locate names is probably to use the goldenpages website. I did a search for Carrig in Clare and the following link shows what was returned: http://www.eircomphonebook.ie/search/clare/carrig.html One of the definitive authorities on Irish names if MacLysaght and he published a number of books on the subject. One which is very useful and in print if "The Surnames of Ireland" by Edward MacLysaght. He states, and I quote: *(Mac) Carrig, Carrigy* *Mac Concharraigh* (*con,* hound — *carraig,* rock). Carrig and Carrick may also be *de Carraig,* referring to some notable rock, or, in the case of the Anglo-Norman family, to Carrick in Ayrshire, Scotland. Carrig is confined to Cos. Clare and Limerick, but MacCarrick is mainly found in Ulster and in Co. Roscommon. (end quote) Does that help or does it confuse?

Steve, I agree with you. However, when I visited the Cleveland Diocese, same problem, LDS beliefs goes against everything Catholics believe in. So the bishop will not release the records. To me it does not make sense. Then there was the privacy issue from the secretary I talked to. I said, "these people are dead, why do they need privacy?" You would have thought I threw water in her face the way she reacted to that. So that was about 12 years ago and I still do not have records from Cleveland, hoping to lead me to the village in Limerick Co. on my Dennis Hogan and family. Dennis born May 1850 per the 1900 census. Now what? There are some (very few) Catholic records the LDS has filmed and I think it depends on the powers that be that are interested in genealogy and sympathetic to researchers.

I will tell you that I have in my possession all the records for my local Catholic cemetery and I won't release them because the LDS would film them. We are too far apart in beliefs and I would rather they didn't get their hands on them. I could go on and on but it would start a war, so will stop here.

Hoping someone who knows for sure can help me out. I am under the impression that the Arch Diocese of Cashel and Emly is the only Arch Diocese in Ireland which will not authorize the release of micro-filmed records to the general public. I believe, however, that the Tipperary Heritage center has the authority to have access to those records, however they charge fees for doing searches. I was under the impression that these records have indeed been micro-filmed and are in the possession of the National Library (or whatever they call it) in Dublin. I hope someone can clarify this for me and others. Also, I do know, that, individual parish priests will do some searching, however, I don't think they can supply certified copies of records retained at their church. In my case, I received names and dates, but no copies. That was fine with me, because, now I know where the records are. Steve No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

I think where the errors come in have to do with transcribers. I accidently found a Maher family transcribed as Mehas. After a careful look at the film, I could understand how the error was made because there were notations made which partially covered the name on the form. Luckily I had experience at handwriting identification, and was able to sort it out. And, another observation: Our ancestors lied a lot!!! Steve No virus found in this outgoing message.

Thank you Steve!! Well stated and better than I could say it. Another genealogy truth is records are only as good as the information originally recorded or the recorder. For example. On one of my relatives, I found three different birth dates; two of them were from the same church records! She supposedly lived in two different states at the same time, and had a wrong death year by 7 years! I was lucky I knew the right dates as this family was educated and kept their records and have a copy of the Bible pages. None of the incorrect info was from the LDS Records but out of sources from other genealogical libraries and census records. Genealogy is not an exact science. And so very important that you list all those dates as well as the sources they came from. Cannot stress the importance of recording sources! Those who are new to it need to keep that in mind, many are not as diligent and stop at the first date they find and assume that is the truth. If I have learned something in 50 years of information gathering, it is the following: People are human, and many people were not educated and did not keep track of when family members were born, married or died. And in the case of my husband's family who were Irish Catholic, another problem is that his parents lied to keep him and his siblings from finding out about the first marriage, because it was only to get them US Citizenship. The same applies to his 3 of his 4 uncles that came here. Many factors affect dates, in those sources, many deeply personal. Many dates will always be estimated, but be able to say why and show your sources, unless you have sure knowledge of the information. Candace Punch

Hi Cris The name of the Catholic Church in Rathkeale is St. Mary's R.C. Church Canon Dempsey Fr. Russell Clerk- Mary Kennelly(if she is still there) I just went directly to the church during mass and after mass waited a few minutes and went around to the back door, knocked and Canon Dempsey answered. I told him what I was looking for and he directed me to Mary Kennelly.They have the records on a database and she left for about 10 minutes and came back with printed records of marriages and birth entries for Barrett's.She realized in her rush that she had forgotten to bring one sheet of marriages and so I transcribed 5 of them from the book right there.I gave her I think 50 Euros and headed off. I had written a letter addressed to Canon Dempsey a year earlier and received no reply.( I didn't enclose any money in the envelope at the time but I think my mistake was not writting directly to Mary Kennelly and enclosing a fee) This is a link to records available http://www.from-ireland.net/lim/limrcindex.htm Lawrence On.
