Hello everyone, I've recently subscribed to this list after discovering that my ggrandmother Bridget Ahern was baptised in 1838 in Knockanore Parish, Co. Waterford. She emigrated to the U.S. where she met and married John Hogan in Columbus Ohio in 1852. She apparently had a brother named Thomas born 1822. Here is the baptismal info: Knockanore Parish HEARN,BRIGID 17 MAR 1828 Father :JOHN Mother : DUNN BRIGID Sponsors :RAVENS JOHN KELLY HELEN Parish : KNOCKANORE Church : KNOCKANORE Priest O'DONNELL JOHN Register :B/1816-1833 P. 123 Addresses TWIN OF MARY.
