<< have in my possession a book from Lexington, Mass.published in 1868.  It tells of my Mitchell family coming from parish of Moor, County of Roscommon, Ireland in 1834. Could anyone tell me how to go about finding the ancestors of this family? >> Hello Roberta, My husbands ancestors come from MOORE Parish, Roscommon. There is a MOOR townland in Roscommon (Parish of Kilkeevin). Are you sure of the spelling? No "E" on the end? Here is a helpful website, the Leitrim-Roscommon Genealogy Website: <A HREF="http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/">http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/</A> When you get to the homepage, click on "Surname Database" and then type in MITCHELL. You will see there are 3 researchers who are researching that name in Roscommon. Perhaps you could email them with your questions? Hope this helps!
