Hello Judy, I think I we have exchanged emails before quite some time ago. I recently visited County Tyrone but I was only able to be there for 2.5 days which wasn't enough time to research anything but it was nice to walk where my ancestors had once lived! Are you by any chance trying to find John Furlong's family? The last bit of research I did on him I had thought it possible that his family had come over in 1822 landing in Pennsylvania and his fathers name was Laurence, mother Margaret, and siblings Brigit and Nick. But I wasn't able to really prove it and decided to move on to researching John's wife, Jane Jones, which led me to Cappaugh, County Tyrone. If you find any info pls let me know. I would gladly help you pay for any copies of documents.

Hello Ann - do you have Catherine in the 1871 census? She appears to be in Liverpool, where you say she was the next year. There are several John MAHERs in the Griffiths Valuation for Wexford - you might like to take a look: http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths.php or http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_start.php The valuations were done between 1847-1864 from memory. This might give you a few parishes to think about. Also, next door to the STITTs in 1881 is an Edward MAHER 22 born in Liverpool. In 1871 this Edward appears to have parents John and Elizabeth, both born in Ireland and the right age. And in 1861 the family is in St Martin, Liverpool complete with a Catherineof the right age. If you don't already have Catherine's mother's name you might try getting the birth certificate for Edward (registered Liverpool 1857) which should give that. It could make searching in Ireland easier if you have both names. In addition - if you don't already have it, you can find Catherine in the 1911 census (indexed as Cathrine if this is the right one) and if you are able to view the original page it just may have a fuller reference to her place of birth. Hope this gives you a start - apologies if you have this already.

Thanks very, very much for your continuing input. I've got the tickets to Ireland for June 20 and returning on July 3. This is the url for seeing what Wexford films are available in the Maritime Archives of Memorial Univ in St. John's, Newfoundland, CN. I'm going to try to get there in May to look at those films and do other research on my Furlongs and Kavanaghs [changed to Cavanagh by Mass. I have extracted the film list to an Excel file if anyone wants a keep copy. again thanks, judy

You can also visit the Tourist Office in Dublin city - in Suffolk St, look for signpost at foot of Grafton St - where you can do all sorts of bookings, including accommodation. Can be a little wait but worth it for the service - they actually call the B and B and set it up for you. Have fun.

These are the good old days. I may add, a big Thank You to everyone who replied to my request on behalf of my Canadian Maud relatives for information in connection with their visit to Wexford & Environs this coming July - said relative being Ed Maude who is "staying mostly in a cottage in KILKEEL, between Dublin and Belfast", in case anyone else is interested. OK

Judy, The National Library in Dublin has the Co. Wexford Catholic parish records on microfilm. The county library at Wexford also has them. If you go to the Wexford library it's a good idea to reserve a microfilm reader in advance. Mary Kay

"Lonely Planet - Ireland" is wonderful. Do you have any recomm for reading material prior to trip? -----Original Message----- From: Judy Picard <judypicard@yahoo.com> To: irl-wexford-l@rootsweb.com; WEXford@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 6:41 pm Subject: Re: [WEXFORD] [IRL-WEXFORD] Place details ('Ireland, Wexford') so far the responses have been: 1.

George, Yes, I see many microfilms there but I'm looking for Roman Catholic birth/Baptismal data for the period 1775-1836. Is there an alternative? I did order the 1821 census in the hope that it has more than just numbers. judy ________________________________ From: George L.

I am responding to your posting on the County Wexford list serve. Go to FamilySearch.org. Click on "Library" and then click on "Library Catalog." There, select "Place Search." You'll get two boxes. Put "Wexford" in the first and "Ireland" in the second. That will lead you to the following list. There are many, many, many many reels of microfilm for County Wexford Ireland there. Good luck with your search George L.

I do not see any microfilms for Wexford on the familysearch.com site. Am I missing something? thanks, judy

I thought Vinegar Hill and the Enniscorthy 1798 Visitor's Centre were good suggestions. I also think National Heritage Park just outside of Wexford Town is definitely worth the stop. **************Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.

My favorite thing about a visit to Wexford (second to seeing my rellies) is to hang out in the Wexford library. A ton of info to be found and nice people to meet.
