For all, there is a new program for tourists with FREE train travel between Dublin and Kilkenny and the Southeast of Ireland. Do look into it. The train before was very expensive, so Free looks good. Janet

Check out this site, maybe they will search the tithes for you for Nicholas. http://www.waterfordcoco.ie/en/services/archives/researchingyourfamilyhistory/howwecanhelp/ If not the tithes, looks like they will give an enormous look at the GV. All you need to give them, is name, townland and time period. Very basic stuff, not the full tree. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

I am looking for any information on a James Joseph Phelan and particularly parent names. He was born 6 May 1881 and I have two possible birth locations for him. One is Ballyduff and the other was mentioned on his naturalization papers as Portland Waterford County Ireland. He came to the US in 1900 and I know that he attended the catholic church here. Thank you,

Helen & Maureen, I doubt you are doing anything wrong! As far as I know (I stand to be corrected), LDS was never allowed to film Waterford Church records, and they filmed very few Cork records. I have had great success with Waterford research through the Waterford Heritage Center at <http://www.iol.ie/~mnoc/>. They are real pros, their fees are reasonable, and they will advise you about whether they feel the research is possible. Another good resource is the Waterford County Council site at <http://www.waterfordcoco.ie/en/services/archives/researchingyourfamilyhistory/> - Griffith's Valuation, Tithes, etc. As for Co. Cork, only the Diocese of Cloyne records are available at the Irish Family History Foundation - <http://www.irish-roots.ie/>. Otherwise, you can take a chance by writing directly to the parish (Diocese of Cork). Parish addresses are available at <http://www.corkandross.org/>. Griffith's searches help to narrow the search for likely ancestors in terms of parish, townland, etc. - see <http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml>.

In researching Phelans, would anyone have noticed a connection to Boutcher, particularly Mary Anne Boutcher b1859 Waterford?  I would like to solve the mystery of why my ggrandmother put Phelan as one of her names on my gfathers birth certificate.  We do not have any connection to Phelan that I know of. Grateful for any help. Anne Gaffney NSW Australia

Hi Margaret, I googled 'French Church Waterford City' and found the following information. The original church was founded for the Fransiscans in 1240 and there were changes over many years. Their current site has the following email address waterfordfriary@eircom.net The friars may be able to help you get the information you are looking for. I have seen the remains of the French Church and it is very interesting. Good luck, Geraldine, Melb., Aust.

Maureen, I have used the FHC for many films but I seem to have trouble with church registers, specifically Catholic registers. I know folks who have gotten them for Meath and Westmeath back into the 1700's. I did try to get a Waterford film that was blocked. My problem is I think I'm using the wrong search parameters in the LDS catalog. I can't seem to find much in the way of parochial registers from Waterford, Tipperary, Cork or Kerry. I must be searching incorrectly if others have found Meath, Westmeath yet I cannot seem to get even 1 of my counties. I seem to get more hits than I can deal with or nothing when I search. I'd love to order films if I could just get the correct film numbers. Any hints on how to narrow my searches to just Catholic Parish Registers for the above mentioned counties? I'd appreciate any pointers as I'm obviously doing something wrong when I search.
