I wanted to report my earlier request. I have been told that someone visited Ireland and found that these families were from Horseleap. What Catholic Church records would be available and what church should I search for? From the Maps I find Clara or Ardnorcher as the parishes. John McGinnis married Mary Gaffney bef. 1844 in West Meath. >They had 5 children before immigrating to US. > >Mary born abt. 1844 >Michael born abt. 1846 >Rose born abt. 1846 (I know same year as Michael) >Bridget born abt. 1849 >Ann born?? > >If anyone has any info. or has suggestions on where to look I'd appreciate >it. I have checked the tombstones in US and all headstones say they are >from Westmeath Co. Ireland. > >They came to US abt. 1850. -Tom Gerber Researching: Ireland: Carroll, Coleman, Lahiff, McGinnis, Egan, Mooney, Nolan, Sexton, Sweeney Germany: Gerber, Arth, Preisen/Preusen, Knaeble Luxembourg: Wagner France: Lefevre Norway: Gilbertson See: WorldConnect Project at www.Rootsweb.com See: www.tomgerber.com
