Hello, I've not posted the list before, only lurking as I have no idea which county one of my Irish lines is from. But, now I have a question - my 2x great grandfather was b. abt. 1828 somewhere in Ireland, most likely in the south and was Roman Catholic. Most records have his name as Edward Russell, however, I found his name as Edmund on a payroll ledger shortly after he arrived in the US. After reading so many posts, I see the name Edmond/Edmund quite frequently. I had always thought of it as more of an Anglo name - does anyone have any take on this?

Parents were Edmund COWAN b. ca 1803 & Trephena CLARK. They came to Oxford Co, ON, Canada about 1852. No further Irish info on this family, except that one of Edmund Cowan's sisters may have married a William WARREN in the 1820s possibly in Tipperary. Would love to find more on Edmund & Trephena Cowan, John, and any of the rest of this family.

Liz, Edmund can be a Catholic name. You see it in records as Edmundus. I have that name mentioned in my Michigan Irish ancestors as a sponsor.
