I am trying to find their Parish in Limerick. > Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. > Have you tried any cemeteries in Ontario, whereever your family lived? I have ancestors that settled in Thorold (near St Catherine's) and found their gravestones mentioned the town and county in Ireland and England where they were born. From looking at other tombstones, I saw that most had towns where born. Maybe it was a tradition at the time. You might try contacting the public library in the Ontario town and see if they have a genealogy section in their library. When I was in Thorold last summer, I discovered a wonder source. They had all the old newspapers on film and one could scan and copy to a disc or just print. When I got home I discovered one of the stories I thought I copied was not on my drive so I wrote the librarian and she copied the story and sent it to me attached to an email. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
