Then let me add. My great-grandfather James Morrow was born in Ballynode in County Monaghan and died in Annahagh South which is west of Monaghan Town near Clones. They had a farm there near the old Stone Bridge Presbyterian Church. He is buried in the First Monaghan Presbyterian Church. The stone is "gone," but he is still in the church records. His wife, Anna Woods, was born in Ballybay, County Monaghan and she died in Oakland, California. She is buried in the Mountain View Cemetery as is my great-grandmother. One by one their children migrated to California coast, although I have very few of the immigration records. All lived and died in the San Francisco bay area. I only knew one of this generation, my Uncle Tom who was a wonderful craftsman, carpenter and wood-carver. When he immigrated to the US in 1889, he hand carried a table that he had made, broken down into small pieces. My parents have this prominently displayed in their home. Use what you want. I am definitely a genealogy addict, and would be thrilled to inspire someone else.
