I am just starting to search for another line on my tree. I have Elizabeth (or Eliza) Ann SCOTT born Dublin 24 September 1860. That's it, no parents names, nothing. The story goes that her and her mother came to New Zealand, and her father went to Canada. From old family stories, the sad part was that they were all supposed to be together in Canada, but were travelling at seperate times, and when her mother was found to be a mid-wife, there was a shortage of mid-wives in New Zealand, so she was sent there. They never found husband/father again. Elizabeth married into my SHIRLEY family tree, and she died in NZ in April 1940. Does anyone have a connection with her? Dawn, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Hi listers. I'm hoping that someone on the list can help me. My 5x great Grandfather John CANNON is first found abt 1725 in North Carolina, Pitt county. His wife is listed as Sary, no known last name. This info is tenuous at best. Archibald CANNON Sr., my 4x great Grandfather, is found listed in the North Carolina Militia ca the revolution. Does anyone know the origins of this CANNON family ? Legends handed down say JOHN came from Donegal.

Linking the Irish of Palo Alto Co, IA one record at a time. Obits, census records, military records, newspaper clippings and more! This is where all the Irish are related in one big Family Tree file! http://www.rootsweb.com/~iapaloal/paloalto.htm Mrs. Catherine Toole O'Toole is no direct relation and I have no further info on her. Emmetsburg Democrat Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, Iowa Wednesday, Oct 16, 1912 MRS. CATHERINE O'TOOLE Her Death Occurred at the Home of Her Daughter, Mrs. J.F. Dealy, Friday Evening. Last week brief mention was made of the serious illness of Mrs. Catherine O'Toole. She had been about as usual and though advanced in years, was apparently quite rugged. Monday evening of last week she was stricken with paralysis while about to sit down to the supper table. She never regained consciousness. She lingered until Friday evening when she passed away. The funeral was held Monday morning. Services were conducted at St. Thomas church, Father McNerney saying a requiem high mass. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. The pall bearers were T.J. Duffy, M.F. Kerwick, Thomas O'Connor, J.P. Crowley, M Hester, and E.J. Higgins. Catherine Toole was born in Louisburg, in the county of Mayo, Ireland, November 1, 1826. She came to America at about the age of 17 and a year later was married in Pennsylvania to Patrick O'Toole. Mr. and Mrs. O'Toole were residents of Allamakee county, this state, for some time. Mr. O'Toole died a number of years ago. Mrs. O'Toole spent the greater part of the past forty years in Humboldt and Palo Alto counties. During the past eleven years she lived with her daughter, Mrs. J.F. Dealy, of this city and her son, Dr. C.S. O'Toole, of Vienna, South Dakota. She arrived in this city from Vienna a couple of months ago to spend the winter with Mrs. Dealy. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. O'Toole. Six are living. They are Thomas, James and Mrs. S. Berry of North Dakota, Edward F O'Toole of Isabel, South Dakota, and Mrs. Dealy of this place. Mrs. O'Toole enjoyed the privilege of a long, well spent, active, and useful career. She participated for nearly 90 years in the activities and in many of the achievements of the greatest centuries in the world's history. She was one of the pioneer women who toiled zealously and patiently for three score years and ten to make this, the land of her adoption, the abiding place of the advantages, comforts, and other blessings enjoyed by the present generation. Though humble and quiet, she did her part cheerfully and heroically in the great work that has been accomplished. Providence was kind and generous to her in many ways, bestowing upon her the blessings of health and strength, though her declining years brought some of the physical afflictions that the most favored are, at times, called upon to bear. Mrs. O'Toole was pleasant and humorous and she was usually disposed to look upon the bright side of affairs. She was loyal in her friendship. She would cling tenaciously to those in whom she had learned to place confidence. She was a woman of strong religious faith and she was a practical member of the church to which she belonged. What a source of satisfaction and consolation this is to the average mother in her most annoying and trying hours. The death of Mrs. O'Toole will be generally and sincerly mourned by the many who knew her and who had learned to esteem her for her high motives and her praiseworthy deeds. The sympathy of all is extended to the loss of her who was to them the kindest, the most loving and most dutiful, the best of mothers.

Dear Listers: After an eight year search, I have recently found my gr-great grandfather and his family living in New York City in the 1847 to 1853. I need help finding out where in Ireland they came from. Some of the info I have on them is as follows: John McGUIRE b. ca 1813 in Ireland, married to Jane (?) McGUIRE b ca 1818 in Ireland. children: John McGuire b ca 1847-49 in New York City d. 11/12/1871, Chgo. George McGuire b 1850 in New York City PAtrick McGuire b. ca 1831 in Ireland Patrick may have been a brother or cousin, and was a Harnessmaker. John the elder was a Saddler and later a Nail Maker. Younger John became a Machinist and Night Watchman in Chicago with Crane and Co. George became a Dry Goods Store owner in Chicago and later in Oak Park, IL. They may be realted to the McGuire's of Keeseville NY since Keeseville was referenced in the older John's obit. Can anyone help me find out where to search for them in Ireland?

You did not mention which country vital records you are awaiting. However, I am presuming that you do not mean Ireland. 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. Births, Death and Roman Catholic marriages certificates are available from General Registrar Office 8-11 Lombard Street East Dublin 2 Ireland Fees are payable in Irish pound currency, Draft I.E.P. or Euro checks or bank drafts drawn on an Irish Bank, made payable to the Registrar General. Sterling checks, Postal Orders, US$ checks are accepted. The minimum amount for a check drawn on a non-Irish bank is 12.70 Euro. I bundle my requests so that I meet the minimum fee. http://www3.travelocity.com/converter/ to get the currency exchange rate for the day as it is changing weekly.

Just to add to the subject on citizenship. I migrated from Dublin in 1954, when I lived in the UK for two years I was subjected to call for National Services in the Military. I joined the Royal Signal Corp, was sent to Catterick and there on our arrival they had rows of clerks waiting to fill out the necessary papers for us, on one of my forms they put my Nationality as British/Irish, I refused to sign the paper, then all hell broke loose. Two days later I was interview by an officer who was I believe was from the legal branch, he informed me, the entry was correct, people from Scotland would be British/ Scottish or British/Welsh ect. and my paper had nothing to do with being English, he also told me to insist on an Irish passport, as the Republic of Ireland at that time were not involved with Nato.

Hi Everyone, I am looking for information on the following people. I am waiting on several birth certificates and death certificates in hopes to find out exactly what part of Ireland they came from. So far everything says "Ireland." John Connors (O'Connor) born in 1883. Parents were David Connors and Catherine Mahoney. Margaret Fitzpatrick born on February 24, 1881. Parents were Bernard Fitzpatrick and Anne Malone. Both resided in Illinois. Not sure where they were married. Rumor has it that John was involved in the early form of the IRA. I received the burial information on John Connors from the cemetery. The lot was purchased by Margaret but she signed the paper work Margaret O'Connor. Her social security application has her down as Connors. All the children (including my grandmother) had the last name of Connors. If anyone can help me find out where in Ireland these two complicated people came from, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Linda

Hello Listers, My Great Grandmother JANE BARRY was born in Wexford in 1842/43. I'm having problems tracing her and now think that I would like to try Parish Registers. Does anyone have the names & addresses of any RC Churches in Wexford? I would be much obliged. TIA Walter Brooks

For those many people new to our list, civil registration started for all of Ireland in 1864. If you are looking for anything 1864+ please see the info on http://community.webtv.net/mpetzolt/helpfulhints Before 1864 you will have to access church records... unless they were protestant in which case you may or may not be able to get the records.
