-----Original Message----- From: RMcG32@aol.com To: mayo@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 1:47 pm Subject: Re: [MAYO] Kearney Family Thanks for your reply Mary - the problem is that there are conflicting dates on his documents - Death certificate - which would have been filled out by his daughter has date of birth as 1864 - marriage license which he would have completed has 1869 - his naturalization papers say that in 1893 he was "26 years of age, or thereabouts" - can you imagine??? - which gives us 1867 - They were married in 1899 at which time the Catholic Church did not record a baptism record which they do now - When I first got the 1864 date I got a Patrick Kearney in Castleisland - have a Baptism cert - but then I found this other confusion - I have family in Ballina and plan to visit them in Sept. - was hoping to find something by then. Thanks, again Rosemarie The matter of fact is that many of these people really didn't know exactly how old they were. Parents didn't read or write and kept time only by what they remembered. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ====MAYO Mailing List==== Add your name in the County Mayo Surname Registry at: http://www.connorsgenealogy.net/Mayo/ Do you have a County Mayo website you would like to see in this space?
