HELLO EVERYONE, I have just read Judy Duffy's request about Commodore BARRY. I am researching a Michael Mark BARRY who was a Ship's Captain, but born in Cork. Sometime back a Merv Rossiter <merv@winshop.com.au> sent me this info about Commodore John BARRY (Father of the American Navy) from Wexford. He was born 1745 at Ballysampson, Our Ladys Island, Tacumshin Parish, Wexford. More information at- < http://www.ushistory.org/more/commodorebarry.html Our Michael Mark BARRY was married to Ellen (Ellenor) MURPHY at St Finbar's Cathedral, Cork City in 1842. Also researching FOSTER from Co LAOIS, CAVAN, and DUBLIN RUDD from Co WEXFORD. DONLON from Co OFFALY Would be pleased to hear from anyone researching these. Eleanor.
