Hi. I am new to this list and to searching in Ireland. I am hoping some kind soul can point me to the next logical place to search and give me some pointers on geneological etiquette in Ireland. I have recently tracked down information about my grandmother. Winifred CORRIGAN, born abt 1890 to Owen CORRIGAN and Mary Ellen DONNELAN. She emigrated from Parsonstown, Drogheda to NYC in 1908 to marry Edward MULLEN. Her brother Peter CORRIGAN had emigrated previously to Newark , NJ. Winifred MULLEN re-entered the US in 1910. She gave Owen CORRIGAN, Clogherhead, Drogheda as her nearest relative in Ireland. Parsonstown is a townland in Drogheda. When I look at an old map of Louth, Clogherhead appears on the coast. One of the rootsweb sites (unfortunately I can't remember which one) lists Clogherhead as a R.C. parish associated with Parsonstown. It also says that the church records are not available on an LDS film. So my questions - where do I find parents marriage and children's baptismal records? Are civil records the best option or do I write to the R.C. parish? If so, how do I find the parish address? In the states, I always send a donation for this type of request. How much of a donation is appropriate? Can I send US dollar check? If not, how do I convert the funds? Thanks in advance Margaret Mullen researching in Ireland MULLEN: Armagh, Ireland > NY, US abt 1886 CORRIGAN: Parsonstown, Drogheda, Louth > NY, US 1908 CARWAY / CARAWAY / CARROWAY: prob Sligo, Ireland > NY abt 1865
