Have resorted to sending snail mail to addresses from the Ireland phone directory to trace ancestors and any living with information. Some are shown as the following, is this an address? And if I send mail to it at the stated address will it go to the person I sent it to? Tomriland Annamoe Bray Ballingate Carnew Co. Wicklow Ballyvolan Newcastle Quin Ennis Co. Clare Dennis Newton, Australia.

Dennis, Yes, they could very easily be correct Irish addresses. But I don't think this is a good way of going about it. In my many long telephone conversations with relatives I have heard over and over that "we once got a letter from some fella/gal in America/Australia/wherever asking questions - but we never replied." I don't fully understand this, but may I suggest you get a SKYPE account and actually phone the person up? It's quite cheap. I have cold-called NUMEROUS people who never heard of me, and told them I was trying to do a family tree, and been very calm and unhurried, and just let them talk. I have never had a conversation that wasn't worthwhile. Sometimes they don't know much if anything, but they know who in the family would know, and given me their telephone number. But you can't put people on the spot and phone them when they're in the middle of preparing dinner or whatever, and expect answers to questions they never thought of. Patience is the number one thing. Also, tell them something about you! And what you've found out so far. I rang one older lady, who had never heard of me, nor I of her, until someone gave me her number, and she has since learnt to email, scan documents, and has been calling tons of other relatives I didn't know existed, and getting information from them. And she's loving it! And so am I! I've grown very fond of her, even though we've never met. So I suggest you make a phone call, rather than write. OR write to say you might call, but I prefer cold-calling so they're not dreading a call! ;-) Best of luck, Hilda in Colorado, USA In a message dated 6/17/2010 1:17:12 A.M.

Hi Dennis Yes addresses can be funny over here. Balyvolan Newcastle Co Wicklow and Tomriland Annamoe (Bray - its nowhere near Bray but addresses sometimes get strange add-ons) Co Wicklow should be ok Brendan On 17 Jun 2010 at 17:00, Dennis Newton wrote: > Have resorted to sending snail mail to addresses from the Ireland phone > directory to trace ancestors and any living with information. > > Some are shown as the following, is this an address?

She may have been present and only in the house at time of Birth Pauline, another factor was these girls were old beyond their years, of course it may well have been another Susan DOyle present at birth, but me thinks she was there helping, she may have gone on to be good at birthing babes in the district. etc etc. Age is only a number so I would have to say at 15 she was close to being married off so she would have been of use, and was being used at this birth.

Hi Pauline My gg-grandmother was Dorothy Fitzpatrick, born Arklow/its environs about 1840. She married John Byrne, probably in Arklow c. 1862, and had at least 4 children (I have their details) all baptised in Arklow, parish of Rathdrum. Just wondering if there is any connection with your Fitzpatricks??????

Can Murrough or Murchadh be anglicized to Murray? Some tell me that MURRAY is a Scottish clan name and can't be Irish, but from what I see there are almost as many centuries of Murchadhs as any Norse or Norman name. Anyone have a thought?
