GORMAN; TIP,IRL>MI,USA; 1823-1860 > Hello! > I am doing research on my family members who hail from Moycarkey > Parish, Co. Tipperary. Patrick Gorman, my gggrandfather, was born in > 1823, possibly there, and emmigrated to Michigan during or soon after > the famine. His father, Thomas, was married to Mary Pennefather and > never emmigrated, near as I can tell. I believe I have found records > for Thomas and his offspring that stayed in Ireland in the Tithes, > Griffiths, Poor Law rate books, and 1911 Census, but any church > records which may refer to Thomas and Mary's marriage or Patrick's > birth have either been lost to the ages (the Moycarkey records of that > period are very spotty) or are not in Moycarkey parish. > > Any help in finding these people would be greatly appreciated. > Timothy J.
