One is to go to rootsireland.ie and look for the baptisms of Mary and Martin. Many church records from the 1850s survive. If that produces no results, go to the Griffith's index on failteromhat.com and look for civil parishes that had both Clearys and Flannerys. Griffith's was done about the time Mary and Martin were born, so their fathers (or grandfathers or uncles) were probably listed. Convert the civil parishes to Catholic and check the LDS films for the baptisms. Unfortunately, the index doesn't show any Hapnick, so you'll have to concentrate on Melican for that pair. It can be a variant for Molohan, but start with Melican, of which there aren't many. Again, get the films and look for Martin as a father and any Kate as mother. With luck, though, you'll find them on rootsireland.ie. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
