Marianne, Since you sent your message to the list, I will answer to the list and also send it to Anne. If you think you are connected to Anne, I would like to say that just last weekend I discovered that my ancestors were also from Doon. So maybe we have a three way connection. All this time I have been looking in Tipperary,not realizing that Doon is in both Tipperary and Limerick and listed in the Griffiths Valuation as Limerick only. Also the parish address is Limerick. So, the moral to this story is if your ancestors said they were from Tipperary, they may be listed in the records as Limerick or another bordering county. Seriously, my Timothy O'Connor looks like he is from Doon, Tipperary/Limerick. Any other O'Connors out there from Doon? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pat (Patraigin) Connors, California Siochain Leat (peace be with you) Researching: Connors/O'Connor, McEntee, Campbell, Flynn/O'Flynn, Smith, Phillips, Carter, Boyle, O'Rourke, Healey, Cullinan, Hoare, Todd, Owen, Booth http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/o/n/Pat-Connors/ mailto:nymets@pcweb.net Volunteer of Random Genealogical Kindness at http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnraogk/index.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
