1. [IRISH-IN-CHICAGO] Co Clare research-- a superior model for genealogy [1]
The Co Clare Libary website is absolutely extraordinary. I have never seen such a organized, comprehensive, integrated genealogy site anywhere. And it's all free. They have nearly all---much more than the 1901 census. Hundreds upon Hundreds of databases from 1570-1922, and tens of thousands of records, or more. It's staggering. The home page for genealogy is beautifully laid out. If you are researching Co Clare ancestors, you've just found genealogy heaven! If you are not, take a look at it

Sharon, His record (if I have the right James Cavanagh ) died with Il 23 on 18 Feb 1862. I think they were guarding Confederate Soldiers at Fort Douglas at that time.

Very pretty indeed. I looked at the pictures 1st & then read the website info. I recognized the architecture while looking at the pictures - I was married at St. Viator. I fell in love with the church at first sight. Donna In a message dated 1/29/2008 9:58:29 P.M.

9. Re: [IRISH-IN-CHICAGO] Longwood [1]
Margaret, That is what I was inquiring about originally that started this thread. So far, there is no known archives for Longwood's yearbooks like Leo's. Maybe the boys have more bragging rights than the girls. Or maybe the girls don't want you to see what they looked like back then, who knows. Bill
10. [IRISH-IN-CHICAGO] Elphin Census and Dublin 1911 online [1]
Ellen, I access the Elphin Census through Origins, a paid subscription site. But google it as there is much online about it and parts of it have been transcribed etc in various online genealogy sites, both rootsweb and others. On a separate matter, I noted your comment that Michael Farrell had a brother, Matt, in Dublin in 1890 The 1911 Dublin census is online and it is free. There are several Matt Farrells there. If he was still there in 1911, this could be a great leaping point backwards to you
11. Re: [IRISH-IN-CHICAGO] Kehoe & Smith in Chicago [1]
Thanks I'll make note of it. All I know for sure is that Mary Kehoe married James Charles Smith in 1892 at St. Malachy's. All of their children were baptized there. According to the 1900 Census - she came from Ireland at age 2 in 1872. He was born in 1860 in WI. I have tracked a James Charles Smith whose information matches what I know of mine to San Antonio Tx. Where he lived with his brother until he died. I can't find Mary (for sure) after the 1900 census. There are a few Mary Smiths in Ch

13. Re: [IRISH-IN-CHICAGO] Cavanaghs in Lasalle Co IL [1]
Thanks, Nan, that branch of Cavanagh's came from another county in Ireland.? Mine were from the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry.? I think Christopher Cavanagh was killed in a railroad accident.? Don't have my notes at hand, but I checked out Christopher several years ago and came up with no match. The LaSalle census records and St. Patrick Church records there show boatloads of Irish, particularly in the late 1840's 50's and 60's.? Alot of the early ones came for the I and M canal and later worked on rail

Hi Tom, I found all three of my brothers, 66,68 and 74. That was so much fun....I'd totally forgotten my one brother had been called "Fast Eddie". To this day I don't know if it was because he was very quick as a quarterback, or if it was an appellation from his afterschool activities at the poolhall on Halsted St! Speaking of the 79th St bus, a younger cousin of my mother's, in 65-67 a recent immigrant from Co Down, was a new bus driver and was assigned to that 79th St route. He was so stress
