Haste makes...mistakes. In my previous letter on this subject, I wrote the phrase "The fourth church in the townland..........." This, of course, should read "The fourth church in the RC parish...........". Sorry. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts

Also, I am not able to locate the four churches >> Frances, OK, Here we go !! The Kilmacthomas church is called Our Lady of Mercy, and is located about a half-mile east of the actual town of Kilmacthomas. Strange as it seems, the Newtown church is less than a mile and a half from the Kilmacthomas one, just up the same road, to the NE. It is close to the village and townland of Newtown, but is actually located in Parkeennaglogh townland. The church is called All Saints. You've located Kill, about four miles ESE of Kilmacthomas. The church there is called Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The fourth church in the townland is way south, just a few hundred yards north of the town on Bunmahon, on the ocean. The area is known as Saleen, but that's an unofficial designation. The actual townland is Kilduane, and the church name is St. Mary's.

I understand that the parish of Kill and Newtown has four churches. I have the ordinance map for the area, but I cannot find Newtown--I do find Kill. Also, I am not able to locate the four churches, partly because I do not know the boundaries of the parish. Can someone tell me where Newtown is and where the four churches are and what their names are? Frances Kane

Today I updated the Parish History Books webpage on my website with another 40 or so books and with more lookup volunteers. Anyone doing Irish genealogical research find these books invaluable to their family history. I didn't know they even existed until my first trip to Ireland in 1999 and accidentally happened on them in Galway Town at Kenny's Bookstore. When I came back from another Ireland trip in 2001 I had collected so many more books that I needed to buy another suitcase at Roche's. Later, I decided to start this website to help those who didn't know about the books or knew about them and could not find any to buy, since many are out of print. When I started the website, I didn't include lookups but did include a form for other researchers to submit books that I didn't know about. Since then, I started getting emails from wonderful people offering to do lookups, so I added Lookup Volunteers. In the beginning, not all counties had many books, but I have since joined all 32 counties of Ireland mailing lists' to reach out to the counties where I am not active so I could include their books. You can access the Parish Books website, by going to the URL under my name. On my homepage, under Ireland, click on Ireland Books. This will take you to the Irish Book Discussion Mailing List webpage. Near the bottom, under Previous Posts, the Parish History Books have four links, listed by county in alpha order. At the bottom of each Parish History Book webpage is a form where you can submit books that are not already listed. I update the site monthly, usually the the first week. If you see a book listed without a lookup volunteer, and you have the book and want to volunteer, email me off list and I will include you with my next update. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Professional Genealogy Research All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002

Saw a reference to O'Flahavan from Dungarvan... my great grandmother was Catherine O'Flahavan; she and her family originally came from Stradbally. Luke

Good Day I am wondering if SKS would have any information on the following persons a William OULDFIELD of the County Waterford Ireland who was an widow of the late Mary OULDFIELD nee HICKEY when he remarried a Bridget COFFEE of Waterford County Ireland in Halifax Nova Scotia in 1834. Mary COFFEE was the daughter of Connit Coffee and Bridget Ellen MALACHY. I am trying to back tract to find the parents of William Ouldfield The spelling of Bridget COFFEE father is spelled wrong as there is 3 or 4 letters still to go and the Marriage Papers was very faint and very hard to read . I have tried the Irish Surname Index but cannot see any thing close Thank you William Stratton Dartmouth Nova Scotia Canada

Hi, I am new to this list and I am also from Massachusetts! I am researching Crowley's and either Kelley or Keiley's from Lismore. My great-grandmother, Margaret Crowley was born on Main St. Lismore in 1867, daughter of Michael and Ellen Crowley. She immigrated to the US in 1885.I have been unable to find out any information on 2 of her sisters. She came with Kate whom I am told stayed in NY. Her sister Teresa appears as the informant on some of the family's death certificates here in Ma. and also as the person who erected some gravestones for her family back in Lismore. I would love to learn more about this family. From a very happy Patriots fan! Cheryl in Framingham Ma

Tricia at [email protected] writes: > I think this could also be spelt Garranbane ( the Parish of ) < Tricia, This appears to be so. On the Abbeyside RC Parish webpage, they mention "the Garranbane portion of Kilgobinet was added in 1862." The townland of Garranbaun (as spelled in the original Townland Listings, as well as on current maps) is essentially an 'appendage' to the much larger portion of Kilgobnet civil parish, and it has had an RC church there for some time (St. Vincent de Paul)......... so I'm in agreement that Garranbane and Garranbaun are the same townland.

Hello Could anyone give me some advice, I am about to start searching the Irish Civil Registration Index, would the Waterford area have a particular volume number. Thank's.

HI all! Just a quick note to let you all know that I have a new email address which you can use to contact me [email protected] -- my other email address is not working now so use this one if you need me. Short version of a long story -- I had knee surgery on Oct 23 which was supposed to be a fairly routine procedure (torn miniscus and cartilage), but the damage was more severe and I am still needing a walker to get up and down, walking is difficult, driving sometimes impossible. And when I got home from the hospital I found out about a problem with my webtv mail, tho my webpages are still up I cannot send or receive mail from my old addresses, so I have to drive to the library to use their computer to access the internet. A friend of mine was supposed to have contacted someone to watch over the lists while I was unable to, and there may have been a mix up involved in that I'm afraid too... not much has gone right since Oct 23 :( Anyway, I hope you all have been well. I am slowly getting back up to speed and look forward to being more useful around here soon... thanks to all who helped out during this time. I was unable to contact anyone really, but I did think of you often.

From the Rootsweb Help Desk... 2004-01-28 AOL is still blocking RootsWeb mail. We have contacted AOL and are working with them to resolve the problem. In the meantime, AOL users can read list mail through the archives at: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ My comments: AOL users might want to call AOL and issue a complaint since this has been going on since Monday without any resolution of the problem. While the AOL users are not getting their mail, most haven't been dropped due to the way AOL is bouncing the mail and can post to the list. However, as time goes on all will eventually be dropped if AOL doesn't stop bouncing Rootsweb mail. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, substitute listowner http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Professional Genealogy Research All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002

Hello, Searching for any info regarding the HAMILTON Family, have found them on the 1821 Census in the Parish of St.Patrick. Husband John, wife Hanna, sons Otho and John. Otho was a music teacher, and was the early tutor of William Vincent Wallace. The Hamilton's were involved in piano tuning and music instrument making, I have found reference to them in trade directories address's given are Stephen St, Bereford St. Hennessy's Rd, Lombard St, Castle St Terrace and Parade Quay, the listings range from 1824 to 1909. I have found 1 entry for Otho in Griffiths Name Authority, address Bailey's New St, Trinity Within and 2 entries for John HAMILTON Lombard St and Blackpool Dungarvan. I also have George HAMILTON born about 1844 married to Ellen FITZ-HENRY, I am trying to find any record of his or Ellen's birth, death, marriage or burial, I only know that George married Ellen as I have a baptism certificate for their son William in the Parish of St.Patrick. William was my Grandfather, he married Mary CULLINANE, I have had no luck finding out anything about Mary, I know she died shortly after my father was born in 1912. I have searched LDS and Ancestry.co.uk, I am currently trawling through the film 0100158 at the FHL but as yet have found nothing, any help or suggestions would be most welcome. Jan Williams (nee HAMILTON)
