How can i get information on his aunt >Catherine Connelly? I can not tell who you have written in Ireland so it is hard to give specific advice. However, you aparently have locations and dates in Ireland - very valuable because Irish records are sparse. I assume you've waited a reasonable amount of time for an answer from Ireland. If the family were Catholic, I'd contact the parish priest in Ireland. Check one of the current books on researching Irish roots - or visit your Family History Center (if you are near one). They have excellent outlines on searching Irish roots. Also, check their IGI files. I am not sure, but check with Rootsweb to see if there is a web site for Sullivan. Also, check Cyndi's list on the WWW both for Irish Sources and Sullivan sources. Hope this helps. Charles Charles Heisterkamp, III [email protected]
