Hi Christina, I was a little disappointed when I checked for some of my Hughes and Kelagher ancestors. I couldn't find any of them on the IFHF/Longford site. I found a lot more information on the free Longford site than I found on the IFHF site. Maybe that haven't included information from the parish of Killoe yet.

Hi Ellenjane; Interesting, the Igo families and Hughes families lived in the townland of Kelliter. There were two Hughes families that have the note 'Cruckaward' after their name. Thanks for the help. Very interesting, Charlie King Ellenjane wrote: Cruckaward or Cruckawar, according to my cousin Seamus Igoe, whose family is from Kelleter Killoe in County Longford is a triangular area known locally as the "hanging field." _____________________________________________________________ Remove unsightly stains with high quality carpet cleaning.

Hi Dave, That may help me out a lot. There are Owen HUGHES and Eugene HUGHES noted in the Longford records. So if I am looking for my ggg grandpa, Owen Hughes I need to consider Eugene Hughes (of which there are several) as well. Thanks for the help, Charlie King Dave wrote: I think it is Owen and Eugene.

Dear David Thanks for this quick reply. I wondered about 'Joseph' as I saw two Josephs in the spaces where my 'Michaels' should have been, so to speak. I will check those - if I have enough money left. I am Scottish after all, and we do like value for our money, And your story below about the Marys is so Irish. Loved it.

Christina Thanks for letting us know this. 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.

I did some researching last night. My husband's great-grandmother was Ellen CASEY. She married Patrick DEVINE in 1871. Alas no Civil Registration has been found which would have named the father at least. I had two possible birth years for Ellen based on the 1901 and 1911 census. The 1911 census was 1841 for Ellen. I found one match for that year. It was the only close hit. Ellen CASEY dau. of John CASEY and Mary DONELON. Jan 20, 1841. The parish was Killashee. I felt I had seen the name DONELAN. Well in the Valuations (of Ballymahon) when Ellen leaves or dies the person who lived in the place after her was a James DONELAN. This was in Ballymahon. I then bought the record of marriage for John CASEY and Mary DONELAN. Also the parish of Killashee. 1835. No parents listed. Witnesses John Egar and Mary Flynn. When the last daughter Norah DEVINE came to American she said her relative in Ireland was a Mrs. DUGGAN in Little Water Street Longford. So, using census which had a John DUGGAN and wife Winifred. I found she was Winifred CASEY. Her father it turns out was Peter CASEY. In 1901 a Winifred Casey and in anther place a Peter Casey list Roscommon as their birthplace. In 1911 Winifred DUGGAN says she was b. in Longford. Searching the Longford IFHF site I find virtually no Winifred Caseys being baptised. When I try Roscommon I am hit was bunches of Winifred Caseys in the time frame of her birth (ca. 1875). So, in theory Ellen Casey is the dau of John Casey and Mary Donelon. Her brother is Peter Casey who has a child Winifred. Can anyone add on to this? Thanks, Christina

Dear Rhoda, Thanks for your report. I, too, contemn the apparent greed. As to names: It was very common to name every Catholic girl Mary and every lad Joseph. The children then went by their "other" name, which could be their second Christian name, or one given by a godparent or someone else. And, a "Junior" had the choice of being confused with his father, or going by J.R. or using his "other" name. And what about the guy who didn't like his name (my dad was named Percy. He went by "Allen P." Anecdote: My grandmother, Mary Gertrude, who went by Minnie, had a locket with the name "Mary" engraved. She said she would give it to her first descendent who actually used the name Mary. Her daughter, Mary Beatrice --"Aunt Bea" lost out, as did her granddaughter Mary Patricia -- "Cousin Pat." Finally my sister, Mary Josephine "Mary Jo" won the prize. So I think you will find variant names.

He married Mary Regan and all their children were born, baptized and raised in Clonbrony parish. Grandmother Mary (Regan) Reynolds died at a young age is buried there. The Children, Elizabeth, George, Mary, Margaret, John, Thomas, Patrick and others all Came to North Dakota, Montana and Canada, and raised families. The Ireland Generation, my dads generation and most of my generation have died now. I stay in touch with several cousins, who are in advancing years. We have recorded good data on them after they arrived, ships they came on, who they married, etc. No one , however, has made any progress on great grand dad, John Reynolds ancestry. Grand mother, Mary Regan's history is a complete void in our records. I just had a thought, that you might have a connection. If you think there is a connection, contact me, and I will gather up data I received from the Church in Clonbrony, and share with you'. We winter in Yuma AZ, but will be returning to Wyoming in March , where all my genealogy records on my home computer, and in my paper files. Advanced age and declining health will, most likely, prevent our traveling to Ireland. Would any one be willing to help me find information on them?

HI Phyllis: James Hughes and his family, including his oldest daughter, Catherine, relocated the Rhode Island, USA about 1855. It is possible that Catherine Hughes (James' daughter) was named for her maternal grandmother, who would have been living in Ireland in the very early 1800s. If this was so then Catherine Hughes' maternal grandmother would have been Catherine Kelagher not Hughes. So I don't see a connection. If I misunderstood your note please get back to me.

Galway, their children were: Catherine Margaret/Marguerite, 1857-1858; Bridget Cecilia (Cecilia was after Barbara's sister), 1860; Mary Francis, 1863; Nicholas James, 1869 It also seems that our HAGARTY/HUGHES line might also include MORAN, if you go by the premise that most baptismal sponsors were family members.

Hi Did the Dooner family have a Hugh and Patrick born around 1820 (don't have my file handy right now) who went to Ashton-Under-Lynn and then on to Northern Illinois by 1862. By birth for few kids we know they lived in England in late 1850s early 1862 and they next show up in Illinois by 1864. Debra **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.

I'm not sure - word of mouth says McKeon, but my Uncle who found that out has long since died, and other than the death notice from the new york paper, I have nothing confirmed - sure would like to find something concrete.

In the tithe applotments for Owen Hughes of Kelliter townland, the word 'Cruckaward' is shown under the Notes column opposite his name. There are several residents of this townland who have that note opposite their name. Question: Does anyone know what the note 'Cruckaward' would mean?
