Joseph, >From what you have said I doubt if our Walsh lines are the same. However if you like I will still send the History and Tree to you privately for your records. Unfortunately at the time of publishing the sources were not recorded and anything that might look promising to connect would need personally verification. I am actually having another look at this History as there were great uncles who we didn't follow through to later generations. Nothing at this stage leads me to believe that any of the ancestors went to USA or Canada. Before Australia is difficult. Some that became friends to this line of Walsh actually changed their names or the spelling of their names as most of them had been rebels. i.e. Phelan became Phegan or Pheagan so am lucky we have the notations out of the Walsh family bible that one of them brought with them to Sydney Australia. The change in name in the Walsh's may have only meant the addition of 'e' to the name i.e. Walshe but have never seen it in this line in Australia. Did Happen in the line in Ireland, one with no 'e' another with. All very messy. None in our tree were proved to have an 'e'. Ah! the Irish are a mysterious lot. If you still wish to have the information will be happy to send although i doubt it will help you with your line. regards Paddy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph C Dorsey" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 4:59 AM Subject: [IRL-WICKLOW] Walsh Hi Paddy, I would really be grateful if you could share your information with me. I have less info on my g.g. grandmother, Margaret Walsh Moran, than on any other ancestor. At this point all I know is that she married John Moran on 21 Nov 1819 in the Kildare Rathangan RC Parish in Co Kildare. And I have the names an dates of baptism of their 5 children. I lucked out and found all of this when I researched the parish records at the FHC in Houston, TX. I have no idea of where she is from, when she was born, or who her parents were. There was only one other Walsh record within a month or so of her wedding, so I believe she must not have been from that area. I believe her mother might have been named Mary, since she named her first daughter Mary and the second one Margaret. It appears that my Irish ancestors used the Irish naming traditions extensively, and that has helped in my research. Thank you for your offer, I am excited about receiving it. When I get your Walsh information into my Walsh database, would you like a copy/ Joseph --- On Tue, 2/3/09, Paddy <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Joseph, I noticed that one of your names of interest is WALSH. I have been having a lot of trouble going back on my Walsh family. They came from Muckalee Kilkenny. Joseph, if you like I can send you our family tree and the History which we did in the 1990's before we had computers and it was all slog all the way. So there could be a few unproven bits in there. Let me know.Paddy Walsh Bondi Sydney Australia *************************************** 1- Only leave in the body of the mail what is relevant to your answer 2- Change the SUBJECT LINE to suit the body of your own Mail to List. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.

Thanks, Paddy, you are probably right, we do not share any common ancestors if your lineage went to Austrailia and my came to the U.S., via Canada. So, I would have nothing to gain from your information.  I enjoyed visiting with you on this subject and comparing notes.   Joseph --- On Wed, 2/4/09, Paddy <[email protected]> wrote: Joseph, >From what you have said I doubt if our Walsh lines are the same.

Joseph, Walsh is like Smith & Jones, thick on the ground. Seldom do we connect with other lines but we keep trying. Thank you for your curtesy and I wish you well on your continued searching.
