Cheryl, I'm not sure if you're ready for paid research but Waterford Heritage Centre did a great job with all my Waterford ancestors. I also used them for Tipp. because the parish was in the diocese of Waterford-Lismore and they did a great job there. Compared to some they are reasonable because they did a whole family search.

Lismore Hi all, I have been on this list for years but my research seems to have come to a dead end and I have not written in to the list in a long while. My great grandmother Margaret Crowley was born on Main St. Lismore in 1868, daughter of Michael Crowley and Ellen Keily. I have found 7 siblings. Bridget never married is in a family cemetery plot here in Boston Massachusetts. Catherine (Kate) came over with her and stayed in NY. I think I see her unmarried in NY on the 1930 census. Theresa came to my great grandmothers (I found this info on a ship manifest)but moved to NY. In the 1930 census I believe I find her as an inpatient in a Mental hospital in Westchester County NY. Siblngs Michael, Ellen, Carthage and Peter are listed on the headstone outside the RC church in Lismore. A very kind gentleman took pictures for me several years ago. The parents Margaret married before 1864. Where would be the best place go for a chuch record? My great uncle told me that my great great grandfather ran a small hotel and was a farmer. Where would be the best place to research this from Boston? I wrote the county library about 2 years ago, asking about how to research hotel owners in Lismore. I got a response saying they would research this for me but never heard again. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
