    1. [NY-IRISH] Need Advice re Furlongs and Kavanaghs of Ireland
    2. Judy Picard
    3. I'm finding myself in the great but unlucky position of going to Ireland this June but before I'm ready. My ancestors came to NY via Newfoundland(NF) and Boston during the 1800's.I admit to having an aged memory and putting things away safe! I've scoured and filed all my Kavanagh & Furlong docs, prints from micro, and censuses. Here are my Irish: Thomas Furlong birth unk [virtually all the NF Furlongs came from Co Wexford] marr NF 1835: Margaret Paris who my memory says b Ireland but none of my docs indicate that. James Kavanagh of Co Wexford who married in 1813, NF his d-i-l: Ellen Kelly marr in NF 1845 said b Ireland many times & her 1914 DC says her parents were Patrick Kelly and Mary Kehoe both b Ireland and Ellen was 81 at death [@1833]. My memory says either Margaret or Ellen was from Co Tipperary but I can't find any docs to that effect. My memory says I within the last 6 mos found a doc that said Ellen was from Tipperary and gave an exact DOB in Oct 1828 [which agreed with her 1900 census]. I looked on Familysearch and found no RC records for Wexford and only Diocese of Killaloe for Tipperary. I don't know what years Killaloe covers. Are there RC films in Dublin or do I have to find out all the possible parishes and write to them? I don't have a choice about scheduling the Irish trip. My dtr set it up to go with her because I only have a few years left at best and we don't know when I'll have to go back into chemo. Any advice would be appreciated. judy
