Hi Fran, I have an Anne Byrne/Beirne, born about 1949 in Kilmacumsey. Her father was Michael. Therese.

Hi John and any other Byrne researcher, I have a Michael Byrne of Kilmacumsey, Roscommon. He had a daughter Anne born about 1849, who married John Elwood born about 1845, of Annaghmore, Roscommon. They had daughters Bridget, Mary and Theresa. They then left Annaghmore for Liverpool, England and had more children. If anyone has any information about any of these people I would love to hear from you. Therese.

Janet, Thank you very much on the bio's of Darby Sheerin and Jane McDermott's children. I didn't have a John Sheerin being born in 18 June 1858. However, he may have died at an early age, for I have a John Sheerin being Baptized in 1871! I didn't have a Jane Sheerin, and she also may have died at an early age? You also confirmed Margaret, Michael, Terrance, and Mary, my Grandaunt, whom I met in Lowell MA in the late 1940's. I believe you helped me solve a little family mystery. I have twin sisters and my mother said there were no twins on her side of the family. My father didn't know of twins, but he thought some where in his Sheerin family there were twins. It appears that the Jane Sheerin, born June 1865 you sent me is a twin to James Sheerin, BAP 01 June 1865 in St. Joseph's RC Church Boyle! I also believe the other two Sheerin families you sent me, Dominic and Eugene are Darby Sheerin's cousins. Janet, thanks again for your research and keep up the good work. Jake Sheerin

Cheryl, Yes.....My Kelly's DID go to Galena in Jo Daviess Co!! Family lore has them (or at least the Murray-Kelly family) coming thru New Orleans, too....but I can't seem to connect them on any particular ship. That darn Kelly name is so common...even in Galena and Jo Daviess Co. I DO have some info on the Kelly's from Galena and lots of photos from cemetery's there. And....I know of someone else who has ties to other Kelly's in the area. Sorry....Don't know your Boyle-Flynn-Tracy-McCormack clan from there. By the way....my relatives who went to Rutland (Finnerty/Coggins from Co Sligo) went thru the post of Boston, too!!!

I will re post this for those that are asking-- Also, they are not complete. Here is the site to purchase these CD'S--Just to let you know, I recently found out that all of these records I have on these CD's, will be available @ the LDS website, for free. They are in the process of adding them all to their current records. The LDS will no longer be making CD's for sale, but instead will be posting all to their site. They are still selling what they have left. I purchased them for $20.00.

My mother was born in Roscommon, and her mother's name was Elizabeth Beirne (1876-1944). She was married to Lawrence Hester (1869-1945). I don't have much information on Elizabeth, but am still searching. I do know Lawrence's parents were Martin Hester and Mary Owens. Could Elizabeth be one of your Beirne's? Thanks, Peg Heidel

Janet, I've been watching all the wonderful information you've found for everyone - couldn't help but try my luck! I've been trying to find anything concerning a Thomas GATELY. He married Mary (unknown) and had at least two children, Thomas and Patrick. I'm told that his son, Thomas, was born in 1859. Not much to go on, I know. Also looking for a Timothy GLENNON who married a Nancy GALVIN/GLAVIN? They had a daughter, Winifred/Winnie, born about 1862, who married the above Thomas. Thank you. Linda in Florida

Mike- Are these two names a couple or separately? Their are over 300 Mc Greevy births in Roscommon listed in these records, if you could be a bit more specific, it will help!

That can sometimes be useful in pointing up connections between people (or the lack of them). You will usually get the mother's maiden name. A location for where the parents live is sometimes given but the practice varied very much from parish to parish. Father's occupation is rarely given at this date in my experience.
