Michael,
My thanks also to the lister who took all that time to transcribe the RC
parish at Clonegal and offer them to the list - what a gift!!!!!
I was able to follow the names in the family over the years to see that
those names eventually died out in the town where they lived - and to see the few
family surnames left by the beginning of the 1900s. - whether due to many
females in the family or families moving elsewhere.
I did find 3 of my ggrandmother's siblings in the records; I had paid
Hi Roger and everyone -
Just had to comment on the naming pattern. I think many of the Irish went by their middle names - not only those named Joseph and Mary. Two of my cousins, James Nolan and Edward Nolan were known to everyone as Jim and Ed. Growing up I knew that Jim's name was really Merton James, the Merton after his father but it wasn't until a couple of years ago when I saw Ed and he was talking about the Nun in school who insisted on calling him Thomas that I realized that he also was named f
On a census record I once saw a family with 22 children -- the parents
must have been good Roman Catholics because all the girls were named Mary
and all the boys were named Joseph. Middle names served to distinguish,
as in Mary Elizabeth, Mary Ann, and Joseph James and Joseph John, etc.
They were no relation so I did not copy the record and do not remember
the surname. I wish now I had made a copy because I thought it quite
amazing. Shirley (in Maine and Florida)

Michael,
I've found that technique to be extremely helpful. It is, in fact, very
respectful in the sense that priests and others who hold genealogical information
frequently receive many queries. This is a small thank you for their time
and effort, certainly often more symbolic than of any major material substance
but it is the thought that counts.
I've always sent a check (adjusting the amount to cover the expected charge
at the receivers bank) and it's always worked well. Also I usually send
Thanks everyone for your very positive replies so far.
Unfortunately I cannot comment on Cherie's points regarding 'CHARGES' as I
have not experienced having to change currency received from another
country, (I'm not that lucky!).
If there is there anyone who knows more about sending Hard Cash and IMO's to
Ireland please advise us through the List as soon as possible please.
Regards
Michael

Why havent you joined the Irish tombstone or cemetary list and said what

These are lovely! (Oh to be in Ireland . . . .) My gg grandmother, Eliza GALLAGHER lived in this area. We visited several years ago. I'll have to dig up my pictures, tho I think Tom's turned out better.
Today, I visited the town where she and my gg grandfather settled and raised their children. The town is 150 years old. (That is old to some of us Americans.) I loaned some photos of my family, for the local history display, which included her and her brother James. They, along with another sister, emigrate
Hi everyone
As you can imagine I get quite a number of requests about people and places
which are featured on the Carlow website which I welcome very much and I
enjoy doing the ground work because it takes me in all sorts of new
directions which I may not have discovered before.
The one thing that would help me enormously with all queries is that you
insert the website page link of the page that you are referring to at the
time. Just copy and paste it to the email from the address window and I will
Shirley - remember that ages were often fudged on such records as these
ship's records. A child (I believe under age 12) sailed for less, so parents
often listed false ages for their offspring.
I don't know if this sailing (New Ross/Quebec) involved a stop at Grosse
Ile, but I think after a certain date all ships from Ireland stopped there
for inspection, quarantine.
I have looked for siblings James and Margaret Kavanagh (great-grandfr and
great-aunt to my husband) in Griffiths Val. from Cos.Carlow, Wexfo

Hi All
I'm researching Matthew Doran frm Carlow but I can't locate him on any

townland /parish
he came from and any lead on family line?
He came to US with second wife and two children.
Thanks

Thanks Cara very well put.
If I could just add to Cara's note below.
In Ireland - the Irish Clergy (as far as I am aware) do not have secretaries
doing their office admin work; they have to find the time in their busy
schedule to answer all the many correspondence they receive each day.
And neither are they computerised. Everything is still hand written (as far
as I am aware).

For those in the US, do not forget the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. You can order films of some Irish records, through your local FHC.

Thanks Jim and Charlie for your kind offer of help in transcribing. Much appreciated. Unfortunately my source is not transferable in any format so I will just plough through them whenever I get the opportunity.
