My grandpap is still living but family history is a bit sketchy for his memory.    So all I have is Leitrim and Roscommon as areas my family may have come from.  I am not at all familiar with searching for Irish records, but I am wiling to learn and I am learning slowly.   Any help would be fantastic.      Cathy in San Antonio, TEXAS !    I have some marriage records, death records and birth records. 

I am looking for help please.  I have traced my lineage back as below but I am now in Ireland and I am so lost.  Looking for assistance or even better family members.

Date of Birth 1st Jan 1816

  • Mr. Kivlin,   I am so excited to meet you.    And you sent chills down my spine with " I have the complete family tree"  !!!   Just wow, it is such a small world. My email is bella7114@aol.com.   Thank you so much for reaching out to me.   My grandfather Myles Shanley still lives in Edinburgh.   He did come to visit to Texas about eleven years ago when we first reconnected with him.  He and my grandmother, Nessie ( Agnes Rankin Black) divorced way back.   He had not seen my mom in over 45 years or so.   You made my day   Please let me know if you need anything from me.     Sincerely,   Cathy Kremer    I so need to go to Scotland and spend time there to get to feel my family roots.         Oh thank you again.
