Vicky- thank you for the information. The original post re:FOY was from Graham. In my reply to him I offerred to share any FOY entries I have. That offer is open to anyone else interested. My records are chiefly SHIEL/GALLAGHER from the parish records of Meelick/Kilconduff, Swinford. Best of luck, Jack ---------------------------------------------------- John M.Shiels Mendham, NJ Researching BESSON,CHARDON (Switzerland 1600-1900 ) SHIEL(S),GALLAGHER(Mayo,Ire. 1700-1900 SHIEL(S),Common (Eng.Bootle,Liverpool 1900 SCOTT (Eng.Manchester/Salford1860-1890)(Ire.1700-1800s) KELLY (Eng.Manchester/Salford1860-1890)(Ire.1700-1800s) KENNEDY(Eng.Liverpool/Lancs 1850-1900/ Ireland 1700,1800s) GIBBONS( Eng.Liverpool/Lancs 1850-1900/ Ireland 1700,1800s) 10:36 AM Saturday, October 06, 2001
