Yes, I have seen Paddy in a YouTube video from the bar. A story I read said many IRA missions were planned there. I don't know if we are related, the Creggan area is small.

I just did a piece on my blog about how a maintaining a web page can help with genealogy research, be fun, and only be a little bit overwhelming (when it comes to the work of keeping it up).

To those who have replied so far. I have for years been searching, with no results, Seagoe as I thought Sigo may have been written phonetically. I have considered Sligo but people I have shown the Army Discharge papers to have ruled that out. The second page is actually clearer than the first and very plainly reads Ligo. Walt's suggestion is very feasible. Any other suggestions? No Carole, the winds aren't that troublesome where I am albeit I am surrounded by high buildings; much cooler than last week though.

Hi Garry, I'm down in Tauranga! Do you think it could be Sligo Belfast? I had one of my mine in the Royal Irish Constabulary and he was stationed at one time in Sligo Belfast but was born in Loughgall Armagh. Guess you are battling the strong winds too?

'morning from New Zealand On my direct ancestor's Army Discharge Papers his place of birth is twice shown as the Parish of Ligo in the County of Armagh. He was born c1808, enlisted in 1826 and discharged in 1846. Was there ever a Parish by that name and if not could it be an abbreviation of something; or even a Townland?

G'day Garry, I really think that it is Seagoe.....the is often confusion with the Ls and Ss of the time, hence the favourite....."my ancestor was a Lawyer" but later discovered that he was a Sawyer. I have ancestors from Seagoe and I know that some rellos went to NZ, what is the surname you are researching.
