Ardcarn and Tumna civil parishes are in the Cootehall RC parish. In days long gone, that Roman Catholic parish was called Ardcarn & Tuamna. After emancipation, and when Catholic record keeping began in the parish, it was 1843, and the Parish Register was inscribed "Ardcarn and Tuamna" parish. I'm not sure at exactly what point or year, the parish became known as Cootehall. Possibly around the time, or shortly after a new church dedicated to St. Michael was erected in 1851 in Cootehall townland. That is still the parish church. I have pictures taken both inside and out, and will be glad to send anyone interested a digital copy. Loree Muldowney Palm Desert CA <<I'm getting mixed information on this one. Ardcarn is a civil parish, and the townland of Ardcarn is nearly 4 miles due east of Boyle town. The townland of Tumna in the adjacent eponymous civil parish, is a further 3 or 4 miles ESE of Ardcarn. Here is the problem. Tumna townland has a early, ruined church. Proabably already in that state by the mid 1800's...specifically mentions "R.C." before "Ardcarn & Tuamna (sic)". But the R.C. parish for this area would have been Cootehall, according to Brian Mitchell's "New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland" and the Irish Times website or Ardcarne R.C. parish, according to the Local.ie website. The townland of Tumna might be just south enough to lie within Mitchell's Croghan R.C. parish, which the Irish Times calls Killucan and the Local.ie website calls Killukin & Killumod. Ain't Irish genealogy fun? (Thank goodness, I don't do any).>> Loree Muldowney MULDOWNEY DNA Project Administrator, http://www.familytreedna.com/
