Does anyone on the list know of Kathleen Snowberger. She posted a map of Longford on one of the sites. I am interested in seeing if there are places then that are no longer there. I have two places my grandmother spoke of but cannot find them on recent maps and I cannot see the map that well. I am wondering if there is someplace to see it up closer? It is Longford Map 1885.

Hi, Just saw my posting and realized I had a name wrong although corrected later. Catherine (Kate) Kelly married Robert O'Reilly late 1840s.? Their first child is my GGF James Reilly/Riley.? He was baptized in Newtown Forbes in January 1850.? Does this church indicate the religion of the family? Thanks. Barbara

Hello, I have one Eliza born ca 1833 Longford Co. Ireland, died 1881, Shasta Co. Ca. She might have come to California as early as 1853. She was a laundress at Fort Tejon in southern Ca. where she married William Nery/Nery. They had no children, her headstone read "Eliza", but early on she was called Mary...could she be Mary Elizabeth ? She never obtained citizenship. I know this is rather a long shot, but I have never done genealogy in Ireland, and could use help if anyone can give me clues. Thanks Frances Gandy Walsh

Hi, I'd be interested in knowing what you find out. My GGGM was Catherine Kelly of Longford. She married James Reilly between 1845-1949. My GGF was born in Jan 1850 in Newtowne Forbes. His father is Robert O'Reilly. I haven't been able to find their marriage record. I believe Catherine may have died during or shortly after childbirth in 1874-76. That's when her husband and all but one child are in Brooklyn, NY in the 1880 census. If anyone can shed light on these Kelly's I'd be most appreciative. The second and third children were baptized in St Mary's in 1852 (John) and 1854 (Mary Ann). Thanks!

I agree with this as the most likely reason. Generally the parents present a very young child for baptism (with godparents as witnesses). The parents ask for baptism on behalf of the child. This would not be necessary if the person asking to be baptised was an adult - he asks to be baptised on his own behalf. The sponsor would be there to testify that his request for baptism is sincere. ----- Original Message ----- From: "acfullam goeke" <acfullam@mhonline.net> To: <irl-longford@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 11:38 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-LONGFORD] Longford Genealogy now online Might have been a convert?

I couldn't resist spending some money on this site but found one puzzling baptism record which shows childs name date of baptism and denomination as RC fathers christian name not recorded no name at all recorded for the mother only 1 sponsor recorded BUT in the notes where there is usually the priest's name -it has ADULT PROTESTANT. I suspect that the child may have been illegitimate? but who does the adult protestant refer to. Has anyone any ideas or come across anything like this before.

Last night, I spent a couple of hours looking for my relatives on the site. (My Grandmother, and most of her siblings were born in Granard). A few observations: I agree with a few earlier comments that this Irish site is overly expensive, certainly for what it is. For me, in the UK, £3 (rough equivalent of 5 Euros) is rather a lot to spend on one look-up. This compares with about £1 a look-up on Scotland's People, and the end-result is much better i.e. you get to see the original certificate/record on Scotland's People. I found about 5 records relating to my ancestors. Having spent about £40!!, I would at least expect the end results to be accurate. BUT my Grandmother whom I know was Mary JANE Feeney, was transcribed as Mary JOAN Feeney; my GG Grandmother, Mary Devlin, appears rather exotically as Maria Tevlin on her daughter's marriage record, and Mary Devlin's husband as Edward Reilly when his name was Miles Reilly, This may have been a genuine error on the original because Mary's husband's father was Edward, but I can't be certain. I suspect that these transcriptions were not double-checked, which they certainly should have been at this price. I intend to contact the site about this. If I were to be cynical, which I can be, I would suspect that the Irish are looking to make a fortune from the Irish diaspora in America, and elsewhere. As I think I said in an earlier posting, on this or another site, there is a lot of money to be made from this. And Governments will be happy for the money to roll in. Having had my say, can I ask if it is usual for Irish catholics to be christened with one name whilst known thereafter by another name? I have a couple of Michael Feeneys, my Great Grandfather, and a Great Uncle and I can't find either of their birth records on the Longford site despite knowing their year of birth.

It could be that the child was "in danger of death" and the "Adult Protestant" took over in the crisis, there being no priest present. The presence of a single witness is also an indicator of an emergency. I have done emergency baptisms in which we have asked the nurse or aide to be a godparent.

Not sure. But, according to Catholic theology, any person can baptize as long as they pour water and say "I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit." Even an "Adult Protestant" could do it and it would be valid (and the child could go to heaven).
