I was successful in locating the marriage site of my great-grand parents in Tipperary through a search by the Tipperary Family History Research (TFHR) aka Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly. tfhr@tipperary-excel.com TFHR has diocese wide computerized files and successfully searched on the marriage names combination to find the parish. Their prices are relatively reasonable and they are nice people. Also. Our family tree includes the marriage of Mary O'Brien and Michael Costello(e) at Saint Paul's Church in Toronto on November 15, 1838. It is suspected that Mary and Michael may have come to Canada through the Peter Robinson settlement at Peterborough. If you come across a Costello(e) please let me know. Bill Barrett Grand Rapids MI
Hi everyone on the List. I am searching for information on a P. MEAGHER, 35 years old arriving in Baltimore MD in 1822 and a 5 year old J. MEAGHER arriving at the same time. I know they were from Ireland. I think Tipperary is a good place to start. I visited Ireland this past summer and found the following places very eager to help but I don't have enough information yet. I will keep trying in Baltimore until I can locate more information. The Family History Research Centers in Tipperary, Nenagh, and BruBoro; the libraries in Tipperary, Thurles and Nenagh were also helpful. Everyone looked but could not find information on my particular relatives because I just don't have enough. Linda Jenne Westminster, Maryland
