MdFreder list members, I was emailed with a look-up request for DANIEL FINIGAN who was supposedly from Frederick and after or before the Civil War had migrated to Bedford Co., Pa. He also supposedly died from either war wounds or a disease during his service time. Mrs. Woodring’s desire is to find who his parents were as she states they were scorch Irish decent. You can read both posts to learn more. If anyone knows of information please share it on the mailing list, thanks.

As a matter of fact, my daughter, Amanda Woodring, is a member of Ancestry.com and we have all the information you just provided. Sorry, I was away for the weekend and did not have access to my email. My problem is, I'm stuck at Daniel. I do not know who his parents were, if he had any siblings and when he may have married Mary Elizabeth "Polly" Burk (his first wife from which my line descends from). Some people on Ancestry.com have a Michael and Rosanna Finnegan as his parents but I have not been able to confirm that. Any suggestions as to where I might begin my research to find out who Daniel's parents were? Thanks, Kim a.. From: Kim Woodring Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 8:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Lookup Request Hello, I am trying to find information on my great great great grandfather, Daniel Finigan. Since I do not have a lot of information about him, I really don't know where to begin my research and I'm not sure you'll be able to help me since your records are for Carroll County, Maryland; because according to his Civil War registration, he was born in Frederick County, Maryland. There is not a birth year listed on his Civil War registration; however, I do believe he was born between 1818 and 1820. Unfortunately, I do not know his parents names or if he had any siblings. I do know that he married Mary Elizabeth "Polly" Burk and eventually settled in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, before heading off for the Civil War. Mary's parents were from Virginia. I am assuming that his parents were Scot Irish Immigrants. If you are not able to help me, can you recommend a good starting place for me to begin my research? What churches may have birth or baptismal records for Scot Irish immigrants? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.
