Hi Patty, Yes, contact is fine on AOL. Better on the MAYO site as then everyone gets a chance to see your results and who knows one of them could be a relative of yours or could offer some help in another way .. I have broken down a big family wall by chatting on the Roots web county sites . .. I am going to reply to you and copy the Mayo site too .. If you want to join this site just use this address and put subscribe in the subject line and body and they will set you up .. _IRL-MAYO-L@rootsweb.com_ (mailto:IRL-MAYO-L@rootsweb.com) On the CD's that I have the birth/baptism dates start generally in 1864 and go to 1875, in Ireland .. I will give you what I find in the Hollymount area .. Could be related on some level .. Do you know the name of the farm/estate they were herders on ???? BURKE, Patrick Birth Gender: Male Birth Date: 20 Apr 1868 Birthplace: 64, Hollymount, Mayo, Ire Recorded in: Mayo, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Father: John BURKE Mother: Mary KAVANAGH Source: FHL Film 101168 Dates: 1868 - 1869 BURKE, Patrick Birth Gender: Male Birth Date: 20 Mar 1870 Birthplace: 70, Hollymount, Mayo, Ire Recorded in: Mayo, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Father: John BURKE Mother: Mary MURPHY Source: FHL Film 101208 Dates: 1870 - 1872 BURKE, Patrick Birth Gender: Male Birth Date: 17 May 1873 Birthplace: Hollymount, Mayo, Ire.

Could be in the older LDS files at _WWW.FAMILYSEARCH.ORG_ (http://www.FAMILYSEARCH.ORG) Marriages for this time frame for Burke are few and none with a marriage to a Ferrick/Fearock , and none in Hollymount . Again you may find more in the LDS files on Familysearch . If you have a center near you, and you can find that information on the Family Search site, you can go there and review their reels .. Good luck in your searching. MaryPat Hi MaryPat! I hope it is ok to send this to you on AOL. I haven't figured out how I can get it to you the other way! I'd love it if you could look up my Great Grandfather. His name was Patrick Burke. He lived in Frenchgrove,Hollymount,Co Mayo. He was a herder on an estate. His father was Thomas Burke, he also was a herder on the estate. Patrick was born abt 1842 or 1846. I'm assuming in the same town where he lived. I am looking for his Mother and siblings names! I know Patrick was married 2 times. The second time in 1872 to Eleanor Feerick(Fearock). His first wife was Bridget Feerick,I think Eleanor's sister. Thank you so much for your offer to help! Thanks again! Patty **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489
