Durand in Tuam

hi,

There are no official records in Ireland before 1864.

There are earlier Church records held by the LDS on microfilm, or you could try contacting the church in Tuam direct...

I don't see any birth records for DURANT/DURAND in Galway c.1821.

I don't find anyone of that name in Galway in Griffiths 1858-1860.

hi,

You could try registering at the Galway mailing list, maybe they can suggest some extra resources.

There are also a number of family trees on Ancestry with this couple on, if you would like me to send them a message to share information, please let me know.

Hi Sean

thank you so much for that. The Yaxleys are my ancestors and that ois how I found Catherine/Caroline Durand. There is a Durnad playing for the Tuam rugby team at the moment. I did a search on Rootsireland and it seems that there are a lot of Durands in Waterford so I might have a look there. Once again thank you for your efforts.
