6. [Irish-American] Co. Cork/"Old Skibbereen" (Anon) -- and BURRITT "American Letter" [1]
OLD SKIBBEREEN Oh, father dear, I often hear you speak of Erin's Isle, Her lofty scenes and valleys green, her mountains rude and wild, They say it is a lovely land wherein a prince might dwell, Oh, why did you abandon it? The reason to me tell. Oh, son! I loved my native land with energy and pride, Till a blight came o'er my crops -- my sheep, my cattle died; My rent and taxes were too high, I could not them redeem, And that's the cruel reason that I left old Skibbereen. Oh, well do I remember the ble

Hi Barbara, My maternal grandmother was a Morgan from County Down Ireland. I was just there this past June and the Morgan name is still prevalent there. This was in Clonduff Civil Parish and also Kilcoo Civil Parish. I was only looking for Catholics while there. There may be other areas of Ireland for the Morgans but I thought I'd mention that if you're interested. I also have been told that Morgan is a Welsh name. Good luck in your search.

13. Re: [Irish-American] newbie [1]
Griffiths was a census in Ireland. It was taken at different time periods for different counties in Ireland in the 1800's. It, I think, was completed within a 10 year range. Go to http://www.google.com and put in Griffiths and Ireland you should get back sites with a lot of information about Griffiths as well as sites with the census info. It is definitely a lot of help.

I have Irish relatives that ended up in Portland too. Step one is to get a copy of her marriage certificate. It should list her parents and may (I emphasize may) give you an indication as to where they were living. Check for her immigration through Boston. My grandmother came across from County Tyrone to Boston.
