Registration of non-Catholic marriages began in 1845 in Ireland. Registration of births, marriages and deaths, regardless of religion, began January 1, 1864. Certificates for births, marriages and deaths for all of Ireland until 1922 and for the Republic since 1922 are housed in Dublin. Belfast has the records for Northern Ireland from 1922 to present in addition to the all Ireland records from 1864-1922. Civil registration of births, deaths and marriages in Ireland names the townland that is the address in rural Ireland. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Mormons, has copies of almost all of the General Register Office indices and some registers, making direct access to both registers and indices possible through the local Family History Centers. You can do-it-yourself at the local Family History Centers because the FHL has acquired Irish civil registration records. There are Family History Centers scattered throughout the world, located in the LDS meeting-houses. The FHCs are generally listed in the local phonebook under Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with its own phone number. Or, go to familysearch.org. In some communities, Family Search is in the local public library. No charge is made for using the resources at the local FHC except for a rental fee for microfilm from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. . Birth certificates include the date and place of birth; the name; the sex; the name, surname and residence of the father; the name, surname, maiden surname of the mother; the rank, profession or occupation of the father; and the name and qualifications of the informant, usually a family member. A given name was not obligatory, so some entries are Kelly, Male or Clarke, Female. The FHLC holds microfilm copies of the Birth Index 1864-1955; Records 1864-1881 and 1900-1955 (note the gaps 1882-1899 and 1913-1930 in the FHLC). Some pages are missing from 1869: p. 49-50 (gap between Carroll, John, of Dungannon and Carvill, James Richard, of Limerick; and all pages following Thompson, Elenor Jane, of Belfast. Ellen "R.

SHAMROCK Ancestor Party Guidelines ** the following is also posted at http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/partyguidelines   The party will begin on **Monday evening, March 12 and go through Sunday, March 18**. (All times are US Central time, please adjust to suit your time zone.)   Join us as we hope that St. Patrick can help us make some connections with our ancestors! Please follow the guidelines below in order to ensure we all enjoy the party!   Ancestor Party Guidelines ****************************** 1. DON'T put "Ancestor Party" in the subject line! 2. Subject line should be your surnames in ALL CAPS with either a comma (,), dash (-) or something inbetween them to distinguish. Try not to use / as it makes the surnames run together. 3. Locations, dates etc in subject line should be in regular case. Example subject lines.... DOE, John - Waterford> NY c. 1700 DOE, DEER, SMITH, McCarthy to Australia Due to the volume of mail this party generates, the subject line is VERY IMPORTANT as many people will only read the ones of interest to them. 4. Please send ONE email with all your surnames. Later in the week, you might want to send another email if you have forgotten some. 5. Text of message -- please send ** just the basics** in the text. Don't tell the life story of these people, just the years, locations -- the basic facts. If anyone thinks they connect with you, they will contact you OFF LIST for more details. Don't just send a GEDCOM file. Follow the KISS procedure (Keep It Simple Sweetie) 6. Contact people OFF LIST for details. 7. Posts get sent to SHAMROCK-L@rootsweb.com Sounds simple, but people still send posts to the "request address" instead of the correct address. Due to the large amount of emails this generates, I cannot guarantee that your email will ever get to the list if you don't send it to the correct address. 8. This is only for surnames from Ireland.... please don't send every name in your family tree. 9. Remember, mailng lists are archived. Think about what you are going to send. Use your subject line wisely and keep it simple! 10. Those of you with regular questions might want to wait til this is over to ask them, as your questions might get overlooked in all the mail. And lastly, the regular rules of the SHAMROCK list still apply. Flames etc should not ever be sent to the list. So, enjoy, and may we all "scare" up some ancestors! Remember! ** Use subject line for surnames, locations and dates ** KISS ** Posts go to SHAMROCK-L@rootsweb.com   <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Maura Petzolt mpetzolt2@webtv.net <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> SHAMROCK ROOTS homepage http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/SHAMROCKROOTS Helpful Hints for Successful Searching http://community.webtv.net/mpetzolt2/helpfulhints

In a message dated 3/5/01 9:03:00 AM, SHAMROCK-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: << I was once told that Catholic girls sometimes used there "Catholic names" rather than their birth names. Could this be true when it came to registering on documents or census reports? i.e. Could a Catherine be a Mary, or other? Also, does anyone know of any "Irish" interpretations / variants of the name Thomas? >> Catholics were supposed to use a saints' name when baptising a child. "Pagan" names were strongly discouraged. However, Catherine is also a saint's name (in fact, there are several St. Catherines) . And names like Siobhan (Joan) and Padrig (Patrick) are just the Gaelic equivalents. But naming a child "Moonbeam" (for instance!) would probably have given the priest a stroke. I think nowadays there is a lot more tendency to use older Gaelic names. Thomas is Tadhig (did I spell that right!!??) Janet C-S

March 11, 2001 Baltimore Journal: Shrine Reconstructs a Lost City of the Irish By FRANCIS X. CLINES BALTIMORE, March 7  A century's intrusion of wild trees and impenetrable bramble has cracked and toppled the gravestones of Finnegan from Galway, Murphy from Cork, and thousands of other urban pioneers resting all atumble in St. Peter's once grand Irish immigrant cemetery. "Their descendants moved out to the suburbs, and when they hear how bad things are here they get excited and promise to do something," said Thomas Ward, touring the woeful burial ground of a once vital working-class throng. These 19th-century Irish built and ran the old Baltimore & Ohio railroad and made a lilting ghetto of southwest Baltimore. "But families looking for their roots are more likely to fly to Ireland to search the cemeteries rather than come here into the city where their old ones are," Mr. Ward added sardonically. The suburban Irish-Americans will of course be journeying in by the vanfuls as celebrators in the city's annual St. Patrick's parade. But this is small comfort for Mr. Ward, a 74-year-old retired judge and son of a B&O railroad man. He fears the power of time to obliterate his people's 150-year- old traces. Mr. Ward and a group of city preservationists are ambitiously restoring five working-class row houses on Lemmon Street, an alley block behind the railroad's old engine roundhouse where the immigrant Irish once teemed. Mr. Ward wants the Irish Shrine at Lemmon Street, as it is called, to be a more impressive tribute to the true past of his people than the usual display of parade-day Irishmen in green plastic derbies and fishermen's sweaters. Through a glass-wall vista from the backyard, near the outhouse that is to be restored, Mr. Ward plans for visitors to see a three-floor diorama of an Irish immigrant family of two parents and eight children. He plans a scene of hope, humility and accomplishment in depicting refugees from the Irish famine of 150 years ago who built an American future for such as Mr. Ward. "A hundred years from now, I want tourists to know about the people who lived, worked, worshiped and died here, the people who built the railroads," said Mr. Ward, more mindful than most Irish-Americans of how their history is fading. Census figures show a 45 percent drop across 20 years in the number of Americans  currently 22 million  who claim some Irish heritage. Those who identify Irish-American history with clichis about "the troubles" back home are missing an entirely positive swath of contributions, including "the tremendous Irish presence," as Mr. Ward puts it, in the earliest history of American railroading and southwest Baltimore. The old neighborhood of Lemmon Street attracted many of the 66,000 Irish immigrants who poured into the city during the famine. St. Peter the Apostle Church, built with the help of volunteers from the railroad, reigned supreme with its abstinence movement, the Society of the Divine Thirst. The parish is still active, a few blocks up from Rowley's pub, which was opened in 1847. Rowley's made a point of closing every year on St. Patrick's Day because "the family didn't want to see an Irishman drunk and reeling in the streets," said Patrick Rowley, descendant of the founding publican. Mr. Rowley currently tends the pub's original bar, a city treasure on Pratt Street where locals no longer send their children around to "rush the growler" for take-out tins of beer. These days, as affluent young professionals seek old worker housing to rehab, the pub is called Patrick's and is billed as "Baltimore's finest Irish cappuccino and wine bar." "And this year, for the very first time in history, we'll be open St. Patrick's Day," said Mr. Rowley, breaking into laughter as he explained why, "because we want the money." No one is more pleased by this adaptation than Mr. Ward, a former city councilman who can measure the retreat of the city's "disenchanted" Irish precinct by precinct. The Lemmon Street houses were built in 1848 and the last of the old Irish lived in them until a generation ago. They were to be torn down until local preservationists won possession. The B&O roundhouse is now a museum in a neighborhood tinged with daguerreotype charm, from St. Peter's to the old Hollins food market. "It was the church, the pub, the market, the railroad and, of course, the workers who made it all work," said Mr. Ward, speaking across a glass of Harp lager at Rowley's. The pub's old wood bar gleamed, more upright than the tombstones of St. Peter's. Lately, Mr. Ward noted, a group of nuns has begun hacking away at the cemetery overgrowth in hopes of restoring the memory of the old Irish. "The neighborhood will be the shrine," he said.

Hello Fellow Listers! I am trying to find some answers on what my grfa. had said once in copies of old papers he had mentioned by saying that he was from Dingle, Castleisland, and "the lakes". Would anyone on these lists know what he might have meant by these words? Are there lakes in or near Castleisland? (I am from British Columbia, Canada). Are there in and around Killarney? Is there an e-mail or SNAIL MAIL, etc., as to where I may be able to get info. on this? (I have a funny feeling I am going to feel quite 'small' on this one!) Thank you very much.

Greetings all..... Those of you who have been on the list for awhile (or who have read about this on the webpage or in our Welcome Message) know that twice a year (for St. Patrick's Day and again in the fall of the year) we do a special event on the SHAMROCK list where we send in surnames and try and make some connections. PLEASE do not start this now... I always give the list 24 hours notice for those who prefer to switch to digest form from regular mail form as this generates literally over a thousand emails.... so if you have a limited mailbox or don't wish to check it periodically to clean out your mailbox, switching to digest is a good thing to do. Also, we have a few people who prefer to leave the list for this special week and rejoin us when it's over. If you need to switch from regular to digest , send unsubscribe to SHAMROCK-L-request@rootsweb.com and then when you get that confirmation email , send subscribe to SHAMROCK-D-request@rootsweb.com . In both cases, leave the subject line blank, and don't put anything but the word subscribe or unsubscribe in the body of the email (something you should always remember when sending in commands). Again, please don't start sending these surname emails now... we have a format to send them in and directions will be sent to the list tomorrow (Monday) after 6 pm or so when I get home from work. The directions will also be posted on a page on our list website. And if you -still- don't understand what I'm talking about.... just please wait til the directions get sent tomorrow. :) Maura Listowner SHAMROCK <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Maura Petzolt mpetzolt2@webtv.net <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> SHAMROCK ROOTS homepage http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/SHAMROCKROOTS Helpful Hints for Successful Searching http://community.webtv.net/mpetzolt2/helpfulhints

Mt Jerome Cemetery Indexes and Registers have been filmed by the LDS. Index to Register of Burials 1837-1876 LDS # 0911810. They continue to 1979. There are further indexes which lead you to the registers and the Perpetuities. The registers can give the number, name, abode, when buried, age, disease, from what Parish removed, mode of burial, place of burial, No. of Grant in Perpetuity and signature of Attestation. Sometimes the relationship is given. This is a death index from 1837 of those buried in Mt Jerome until registration.

The following obituary of Daniel Moriarty, born Dunquin, Co. Kerry 1801-1805 , died Dubuque, Iowa 1895, was published in the Dubuque Herald. His brother Timothy, born 1804-1808, was buried in St. Lawrence's Cemetery, Otter Creek, Iowa, March 22, 1880; his sister, Ellen ( widow of Cornelius Leahy), born 1810-1814, died November 8, 1891 was buried at Key West Cemetery, Dubuque, Iowa. <<<<Daniel Moriarty, aged 90 years, died Monday at the residence of Mrs. Hickson, 111 Wilson Avenue. Deceased was born in County Kerry, Ireland, and came to this country about sixty-five years ago, residing the greater part of that time in Dubuque county. For many years he followed farming and was well known throughout Dubuque and Jackson Counties. He was a man of remarkably vigorous intellect,and his memory was unimpaired up to a short time before his demise. He was well acquainted with Daniel O'Connell, the Irish statesman, took great delight in recounting the great events in the famous man's career and few men were better posted on the history of Ireland. Only five years younger than the present century, he kept pace with it until he could see it about to fade into the 20th, when he closed his eyes and fell into the slumber that is dreamless. He was a true Christian and an honest man. He is survived by three nieces, Mrs. Hickson, Miss Leahy and Mrs. Tim Dillon of this city. [ Dubuque Herald , April 4, 1895,Page 8, Co.5]>>>>
