Dear Listers, Family TreeMaker CD #590, Passenger and Immigration Lists, shows the surname, of what appears to be my Edward Bolger family, listed at New Orleans in 1850 (don't know whether they were outgoing, back to Ireland for a visit, or coming back from there a second time, as most of the family had settled in Wisc. in 1848) They all have the same source code #, whether it's spelled Bolger or Bulger. And each given name is a member of that family, other than Fanny...could be a cousin or spouse or such. The source name is "A Farewell to Famine. Arklow, Ireland" by Jim Rees,1994, but it refers to an article "The Luck of the Irish Researcher" by Patrick Coleman in The Septs (Irish Genealogical Society, International), vol 18:2 (April 1997), pp.8-15. The information referred to in the Rees book, is on page 134 for the spelling: Bolger and 136 for the spelling: Bulger. Does anyone have the Rees book or the Septs issue. Would you be willing to type up and e-mail me the information that refers to these folks? I'm hoping for their ages as well as emigration information, ship, etc.. I'll submit their names, etc. if someone responds to this request. I found 9 of them. Thanks in advance. Ann Ignacio anneign@willinet.net

Hello fellow rooters: Although I am not new to Rootsweb, I am new to your list! My name is Lawrence Bergeron,I am researching my Maternal Grandparents Who were Burnhams, married to Welch, married to Whittie, Whittie for sure came from Wexford, and possibly Welch. anyway here we go !! "Three brothers James, Walter and Stephen Whittie from (Wexford) Ireland settled in Port Hood, Inverness County, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1814" This excerpt from the book "The History of Inverness County" by J.L. MacDougall. My interest at this point is the Wexford Connection for the "three brothers" their parents ect. in Ireland. Thanks in advance, and Happy Hunting lbergeron@3n.net

I am researching my husband's CARTER ancestor, according to the Carter Family Bible: CARTER, Henry C. b."14 Jul 1833 in the County of Waxford (sic), Ireland" m.7 Apr 1857, Terre Haute, Indiana to Caroline Attilia HALL d.10 Mar 1901, Findlay, Hancock County, Ohio; age 67y 7mos 28da children of Henry & Caroline included: Frank Warren b.30 Oct 1859 Elmer Elsworth b.2 Nov 1861 Virginia May b.27 Sep 1863 Minerva b.2 Feb 1866 aka "Minnie Bill" CARTER Charles Ervin b.19 Mar 1867 Walter Clark b.10 Nov 1875 Carrie Hall b.25 Nov 1878 d.1915 *our line There was also a Charles Edwin b.19 Mar 1855 *not sure how this fellow is related, possibly a son. Charles E. CARTER married Elsie M. COON, 1 Dec 1889, Lima, Ohio. The family Bible lists marriage and births for at least 2 families, but does not mention specifically who the parents of the children are...so I am not positive that I have determined correctly on all. I believe the second family is that of Charles & Elsie noted above. I review of Griffith's Valuation Index shows only 2 CARTER families in Wexford, both in Ballysimon. I would be interested in hearing from anyone else researching this family or from someone familiar with the Ballysimon area. I do not know if this was a Protestant or RC family. Are parish records available for either religion for the 1830s or before? Thank you.

My apologies to everyone - and my thanks to all those who pointed out that it probably was a baptismal register I was looking at..... It was. My excuse is that I was in a hurry - and that there was one piece of paper under the head of the pages I was looking at - which said marriages and gave a time span.......... So - I assumed it was marriages and not baptisms.....didn't think to check the official title - as I would usually........ My father always said that 'assumption' was one of the seven deadly sins!!!! Now - I will take myself off into a little hole with my big red face for the next few months!!! Kind of....I'll probably forget all about this by next week..... Thanks to everyone who offered comments - AND - some of what was said was really very interesting. Jane :-(

But first of course, I had to check my email and there was Philip's web site. So much for cleaning. Great job and check it out, many interesting sites listed. I was especially interested in the Titanic list. My gmother, Aunt and 2 uncles had passage from England booked. She did not want to return to US and said she was sick. She came later. I was touched by the Rice family from Canada. A mother and 5 children (no father onboard) all perished. How terrifying for her. I am always struck by how brave our ancestors were, striking out for a new land, knowing the dangers and venturing into the unknown. I am a travel agent so I know we today won't venture away for a week without knowing how often the sheets are changed. My gfather was one of 8 and only 2 left Ireland. Sorry I am rambling. Check out above site. Joan

Jane I don't know about your Judith, Catherine, Margaret, Anne, and Honor examples but Thomas is a last name. (For example Canadian Dave Thomas was of the SCTV troup that went on to play on Saturday Night Live with Canadians John Belushi/Dan Akroyd et al). Thomas would be his grandmothers maiden name. Taking your text on face value I have never seen cross naming of first names only last. Larry O'Brien ---------- I'm working a register at the moment and in it all the men (grooms) have a second Christian name. As far as I know this is unusual - Catholic register pre 1800.......... What I'm finding more unusual is that many of thse names are women's names. Not just Mary which was a common enoughname to give to boys - but Judith, Catherine, Josephine, Margaret, Anne, Honor. There are also instances of the men having the same Christian name listed twice. So - has anyone any comments. I know I've looked at a fair few registers and never seen this before - anywhere..... A forward looking parish priest? Someone who just listed the Confirmation name taken by these men? Surely not that many men took womens names as their confirmation name.... The name of their father or mother - if one was dead. James James being James the son of James..... The second name....the extra one seems to come first....because all the women's names are listed first.... So - Josephine Thomas is Thomas the son of Joesephine? Where are all those genealogists.... How many people have seen it before. It's a Laois register and I've not seen it in Laois before either??? Jane :-) ______________________________

Hi Jane.... Ditto on the thanks for the great mailings you send out. My mother is one of five daughters, all named Mary. My Aunts are: Mary Margaret (Aunt Sis) Mary Mary Ann ( Aunt Nance) Mary Ellen (Aunt Ellen) and my mother, Mary Catherine (Kitty) As you know, from my visit to Dublin, when I was looking for Weadicks, in the GRO Registers, their last names were even spelled differently. Weadick became Waddick. My RC Church records list two Weadick brothers married to two Doolin sisters, with four different spellings on the surnames! In the microfilm of the original church records, I found an entry for a Dowling, who's father was a Doolin, and discovered it was the first entry for a new priest to the parish (I guess) since it was the first entry for his name also. It ain't easy....... lololol Peggy

Hello Jane and all, Firstly thank-you Jane for all the information that you provide us with. It is great to have you share your knowledge with us. Afraid I do not know about female Christian names being given to men and I think it is a real dilema. I thought my FOSTER family made it hard for us by calling all their children by their second Christian names. The few records I have found are John George called John, Sarah Isabella called Bella and Ernest William called Bill,(my Dad). I guess they didn't know there would be fossickers like us looking for them 100s of years later. Regards to all, Eleanor in Queensland.

Can anyone help me URGENTLY PLEASE. I am fortunate enough to be going to Wexford next week to try to find our family roots. My maiden name was FLYNN and I know they were from Wexford not not sure where, maybe New Ross as this has been suggested. Is there any one out there either a Flynn or researching Flynn's who have found a Patrick amongst their family, born approx 1803. I have info from his marriage 1835 onwards and would quite happily share to anyone that is interested. Can you help PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Many thanks Margaret ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Hi List I´m serching about CODD family in WEXFORD Ireland.- My great grand father was PATRICK CODD and he arrived to Buenos Aires ARGENTINA in 1836, probably with a brother named WILLIAM.- They left from Liverpool and probably they came from BRIDGETOWN in WEXFORD.- He was married with ELIZABETH MCNALLY and they had four sons named BRIGIDA , ?? , MARTIN and THOMAS.- Thomas was my grandfather, so I´ll really appreciatte any information about Patrick Codd and Elizabeth McNally like born date and other.- Thanks in advance Patricio Garcia Codd Buenos Aires - Argentina

Hello; I wonder if there is anyone out there who has come across a birth for a Catherine Murphy about 1790 or earlier. She was our grt. grt.grt. grandmother who married Peter Gahan and had her first child in New Ross at St. Michael's in 1806. We don't know where she came from and would like to find out. All her children were born/baptised at St. Michael's but no marriage record was found there - which isn't to say it didn't take place there, only that a record was not found - and so we're lokking at a blank wall!!

As a new subscriber I wish to introduce myself. My grandfather, Thomas Geoghegan, is first recorded in Liverpool, England, by his marriage certificate in 1888, where he gave his age as 28 (born 1860), his father as James, deceased, a "soldier". He is further recorded in Gores Directory, also 1888, as a pawnbroker's assistant in Liverpool. In the UK 1891 Census he gives his place of birth as Wexford. He is not recorded in the 1881 Census and therefore it appears he left Ireland between 1881 and 1888. He died, in Liverpool, powerful 4th in 1940. His family, from a second marriage in 1895 to Annie Maria Cowan, was my father, Edwin Thomas( 1896 to 1985) , Sidney ( 1906- 1969), Lesley (1899 to 1918), Kathleen (1903 to 1957) and Nora (1900 to 1982). Records at PRO Kew have been searched for the soldier James and six "possibles" were identified but no positive connection could be established.Other searches of BDM for armed forces overseas have revealed nothing. No marriage was found in the Irish GRO Index for non Catholic marriages from 1845 to 1862. All James Geoghegans listed in the Irish GRO deaths index between 1864 and 1891 have been extracted, but no "soldier" identified in registration copies so far. County Wexford Heritage and Genealogy Society have found no parish register entries for either James or Thomas in their computerised records. As you can see, despite some effort, no real progress has been made and I would deeply appreciate any contribution to my unyielding search. Sid Geoghegan

For those who may also have relatives from County Cork and haven't dropped by in the past month or so, we would like to welcome you to visit us. We have over-hauled the site substantially. The surname query board now has over 3600 on-line messages to search. Additionally, there are many useful on-line resource links have been added in the past month, both for Cork, Ireland, and genealogy in general. The address is http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlcor/

Please can anyone suggest how to proceed, my grt grt grt grandfather was John Cummins wife's nameI think was Ellen. They were from the Townland of Haggard and from the Griffiths Valuation I think the parish was Rathroe. I have written to the Church but records do not go far enough back to help me find the children or marriage. The date I am looking for is approx 1825-1835. I am coming to Wexford in May and would love to be able to break through my brick wall, which seems to be getting bigger. I would be grateful for any suggestions. Many thanks, Margaret ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Could anyone help me break through a very big brick wall please? Is there any one with directories for Wexford 1825-1835 ( not sure of exact location ) I am desperately looking for my grt grt grandfather Patrick Flynn. He was approx age 31 when he married 1835 in the Fransiscan Friary Wexford Town to Ann Carty, but what did he do? he must have done something, was he at sea ? was he a publican if not what ? I have loads of info following his marriage, and I am coming across to Wexford in May, so it would be wonderful to find a chink in my wall.
