Thanks to Everyone, But I've been to Alan and Sue's web site. Very nicely done, but they dont have anything on the line I'm looking for. I've also checked into Irish history for information peticular to these people- nothing there either. I have copied Desmond O'Neill's pages relating to the relatives, he does'nt go any farther than Hugh (Aodh) and he does'nt list any sources other than one peticular ms refering to Aodh. I do have a copy of that ms, obtained from Dublin. Little did I know (duh), its hand written in ancient galic in the 1740's. I'm trying to have that translated into something understandable. So, what I'm trying to get is documentation. I've been told that records for that period dont exist. Sorry, I dont believe that. The information is out there, just cant seem to pin it down.

I don't know in your case, but this is often true. You probably know that the Four Courts, which housed genealogical records in Dublin, was blown up during the Irish Civil War (in fact, you see the beginning of that event near the end of the movie, "Michael Collins"). I've read that scraps of papers were falling out of the sky Sad. John ------ John O'Neall Genas, France http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~joneall/
