If in Dublin don't miss the National library. They offer free genealogy assistance. You sign a book at the entrance to the room and return for a one on one consultation. Limit your search to one or two ancestors. Bring dates, names, and details that you have. We were away with a to-do list. We went to the valuation office for land records, records office for birth certificates and provided with the name of a local historian in Westmeath area. Best tip, just travel to your ancestors area, walk into a pub, church and chat.The people are soooo great. We were spotted touring a cemetery and approached the following day at the local post office. The old gent remembered the Murphy family and offered info on where the branch that remained in Ireland were now living, complete with marriage names.

I have no personal knowledge of Athlone, but here's some history on a 3-month long battle, in which about 30 Viking ships were sunk on the lake in 796 AD. At least that's the story.

Hi jd My great grandmother Ann Creavin was born around 1858, She married my great grandfather Wiiliam Greene February 8, 1875 at Taughmaconnell parish church. The registrar's office gave her father's name as Martin Creavin a farmer at Coolfree, it doesn't mention her mother's name. I couldn't find a baptism record. She lived after her marriage in Derrylahan in Moore parish untill she died in 1933. I have a picture of her in very old age. She was buried in old Moore cemetery with my grandfather who died in 1917.

Hello everyone. I am new to the list, living in Indiana, PA. Recently discovered I'm a descendant of Thomas Geelan and Bridge Cox of Roscommon. My mother, Lydia, is a Geelan. My family will be visiting Ireland for the first time in early August. Have no idea what to expect but CAN'T WAIT! Any suggestions or helpful hints concerning my genealogy or the trip is more than welcome. Thanks in advance, Kelly Sutton Cassie Kilroy Thompson <cassiekt@verizon.net> wrote: Ballykilcline Reunion, July 19 through July 22, 2007 Days Hotel, Deereco Road, Timonium, Maryland, USA Ballykilcline was a small townland near the Strokestown Park House, in Roscommon County, Ireland (which now houses the Famine Museum) - it faced some notoriety due to an extended rent strike against the Crown's landlords that began in the 1830's, which was lead by a man named Richard Padian, among others. Mr. Padian and his family, along with the entire population of the townland, were subsequently evicted and paid by the Crown to emigrate to the US in 1846/1847 at the height of the Great Famine. The Padians (along with several other Ballykilcline families) settled in Texas, Maryland, helped to establish St. Joseph's Catholic Church; the Padonia area is so named for Richard Padian to this day. I grew up in Texas Maryland, and began attempting to chronicle the stories of my Scally, Kilroy, Covahey, Croghan, Cummings, Toolan, and Lindsay ancestors (many of whom came from Roscommon County). I became involved with the Ballykilcline Society right about the time that the unrest and emigrations were chronicled in the book, "The End of Hidden Ireland" by Robert Scally, archaeological digs were being conducted by Dr. Charles Orser, and all of these were featured in a Discovery Channel "movie" as part of their "Moments in Time" series. This year's Ballykilcline Society Reunion is being held in "Texas, Maryland", July 19 through 22, 2007, and we are still trying to locate as many descendants of the Irish who settled St. Joseph's Texas, regardless of whether their ancestors were from Ballykilcline, in order to invite them to our reunion, and/or to share their stories of the place that I describe as "The nearest place that wasn't Ireland, nor was it in Texas". We would also like to invite others who might be interested in the events being held next week. For additional information, you can go to http://ballykilcline.com/index.html, where you will also find a pdf with our tentative schedule, as well. I am one of the speakers, although I had hoped my father would be around to tell the stories about growing up along the railroad tracks in Texas. Dad passed away in February, so I am dedicating my participation in the Reunion to my dad, Richard I. Kilroy, Sr. Please feel free to email me at cassiekt@verizon.net for additional details. We need to know ASAP whether you are interested in attending all or part of the reunion as we need to provide numbers for meals etc. Cost for the complete reunion is $130, made payable to Patricia Padian, but for a limited time, we are accepting registrations for a single days events as indicated below. Thursday 7/19 (Free) This will be "Surname Day", where we will gather at the Days Hotel in Timonium from 1 to 5pm to discuss the various surnames that we all are researching, hoping to connect to an ever growing family of descendants. There is no charge for this event, but we still need you to pre-register. Friday 7/20 ($60) Registration; speaker Dr. Timothy Meagher on Irish- american History; Mary Lee Dunn on her upcoming book about the Ballykilcline immigrants that went to Vermont; John McGrain, Baltimore County Historian will present his collection of photos and stories of early Texas and beyond; Cassie Kilroy Thompson, on family stories from Texas, Maryland; entertainment by Broesler School of Irish Dance, followed by a buffet dinner. Saturday 7/21 ($55) Morning - tours (by car) of a number of the local sights, including the Baltimore County Almshouse - home of the Historical Society of Baltimore County, a view of the limestone and marble quarries, and St. Joseph's RC Church, where Mass will be said by Bishop W. Francis Malooly at 10am. Mass is open to the public, for which there is no charge; please consider joining us as we celebrate the role that the Catholic faith played in the lives of our early ancestors to the US. The afternoon is open so that attendees can explore the area, utilize the resources of the Historical Society, etc. An optional tour of the Inner Harbor did not have enough registrants to warrant a bus, but arrangements are being explored to support those that wish to drive or take the Light Rail to the Inner Harbor area. We will reconvene at 6pm at the Days Hotel for dinner and our Guest Speaker, Fr. Gerald Fogarty, an eniment historian at UVA, and a descendant of a Neary from Roscommon County. Ms. Tricia Pyne, the archivist for the Archdiocese of Baltimore will also join us for the evening. Entertainment by native Baltomorean musician, Patrick O'Brennan. Sunday 7/22 ($35) Our closing event will be a brunch at An Poitin Stil, an authentic Irish pub not far from the Days Hotel, where door prizes will be awarded, including the grand prize of a Waterford Crystal "Tall Ship" sculpture.

I have many relatives living in Athlone, and try to visit there every year. Its a beautiful town, great people! Lovely area around Lough Ree. Susan Carberry ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Thank's for all the O'Beirne answers out there! I've spent a great deal of time tracking them though the US and have no earthly idea how to get back to Ireland. I have been lucky on a few instances - dumb luck really. My Great Grandparents were Patrick O'Beirne 1825-1907 married to Mary Hopkins. They had James O'Beirne 1845-?, Bridget O'Beirne 1847 -? and John O'Beirne 1848-1922, Charles O'Beirne 1849 - 1924 in Denver, Patrick O'Beirne, Jr. 1849 - 1929 in Chicago (Patrick was my Great Grandfather), Frank O'Beirne 1852-?. Until recently I was never aware of Frank or James. I do know that Charles, Patrick and John came to the US. Patrick came when he was 15 so that had to be around 1864 or 65? I would think he traveled with his brothers but he may have come later. I know that Bridget stayed in Ireland and married Thomas Cooney. They lived out their lives in Roscommon. If this clicks with anyone, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks, Patty O'Beirne

Hi. I believe I have found my great grandfather in the 1901 census, and thereby my great great grand parents and I apologise for being dumb in advance but I can't find anywhere that tells me how to get Irish brith/marriage certificates so I can link my grand-mother to those in the census. I need to prove that a) my grandmother is the daughter of Richard (just family guess work at the moment), but also then confirm my great grandmothers name and b) That my Richard equals Richard(13 in 1901). The siblings match known aunties hence my leap. Is there somewhere like BMD that you can dig into to find the index details of these records? Or how would I find out of LDS has the microfiche of the parish? Thanks Dave

Friend, The Mormons have B/M/D records on microfilm for Ireland going back to 1864 when registration of Vital Records began. As I recollect there is a section missing in the 1890-1900 time period. I don't remember the street address exactly, but I remember going to the General Records Office on Lombard Street in Dublin and they did wonderful research for me.
