Hi Patricia....
yes, I was born in the 50's too....we has 5 "Kathy's" in our little gang of
middle school girlfriends!!
My niece, born in 1984 was named "Kristin" a lovely name but not
gaelic/irish---a very popular name
back then. My sister is a NICU nurse and must have been influenced by all
the "kristens" she saw go thru that year! :)
The name 'feels' Scandinavian to me and still doesn't fit..of course I keep
it to myself----and
anyway she's a splendid girl so we are very lucky!
One other thing---

There was a gentleman named Francis GREEN Mulherrin who moved from Clinton
County with his parents, Thomas and Mary, and siblings
to Wilkes Barre, Pa. in the late 1880's.
I believe he is related to my family of Mulherins who left Ireland, lived
in Hazleton and then moved to Wilkes Barre, PA..
I could find no record of Francis Mulherin/Mulherrin; so I don't know where
the Green name came from.
However, I did find him under the misspelled name: GUM Mulherin on an
Ancestry Census for Wilkes Barre, PA.

Irish Potato Soup
The basis of a good soup - especially a simple soup such as this - is a
good stock. The soup should be made with a white stock, that is, water
in which a chicken, ham or bacon has been boiled. Alternatively, stock
can be made from a ham bone or chicken carcass boiled with a few root
vegetables and herbs as available, and an onion. The stock should be
drained, allowed to cool and the fat removed from the surface.
6 medium potatoes
2 medium onions

Hi Clare,
-een is the phonetic for the Irish -mn meaning 'little.' Cailmn (anglicized
as 'Colleen') does indeed mean 'little girl.' Caile means 'girl.'
Cailleach is translated as 'old woman.' Maureen is the English phonetic for
Mairmn which means 'Little Mary.'
Le gach dea-ghum / Best, - Jerry

Hi Kelly,
Don't know much about Green Mulherin, only that he was born in PA. and died
there. His parents were both from Irl. according to the census I have, for
1860 I believe, in Clinton County. I wrote there, they have no information
on the family.
I'm sorry but I can't connect the two, i.e. Gray and Green. I also am from
N.Y. but my parents were from PA. and Green died in PA. before I was born.
Wish I could be more helpful.
In Dingle (I don't know about anywhere else), other
names you could have for Mary were Main (unsure of the
spelling there)/Mainie and Maim/Maimie, as well as the
usual Maire, Maureen, etc. I spent ages trying to
figure out what "Main" could be, only to find out from
my mom that they were all Mary, but since, in my case,
they were all living Mary Brosnans, they were called
different things to tell them apart.

Dear List,
I have been looking for years and years for the ship papers showing Daniel Scanlon onboard. People on this list tried to help me.
Although I have a subscription to Ancestry, I went into the new immigration site. I knew the ship's name. I knew the date of landing in New York. Everyone said oh, look at Ellis. Baloney! He came over in 1926 AFTER Ellis closed!!
Now I found him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is his visa number which I did not have before. He seems to have received his visa in Cobh.

One of my gggrandmothers is listed as having borne 9 children in Ireland.
Three of those children came to Washington County as adults -we don't know
what happened with the other six.
One of the three who came to Washington County (Jackson, White Creek and
