FLOOD/MORRISSY

Hi,

Thanks for your message. I hope that someone with info makes a connection with you and helps you to further you research.

In the meantime, have you tried looking at church records for more information? Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. For Cashel  parish, follow this link:

Hello, I am interested in your Flood relatives from Cashel who once were living in the City of Utica, NY during  the 1800's.  My great grandmother Margarere Barry's sister Catherine Barry was married to a Timothy Flood.  The Floods and Barry's  were all born in Cashel during the 1840's of 1850's and lived in Utica, NY from approximately 1870 to their deaths in the first 30 years of the 1900s.. I would think that your Floods and my Floods were some how related but I have no proof of that and almost no records.  Obituaries say that the Flood's and Barry's were from Cashel.  Any thoughts or ideas about these folks would be appreciated.  The Floods of Timothy Barry of Utica left almost no descendents so there is no way to follow up with them.

A response would be appreciated.   

Thanks

Stephen in Saratoga, NY.
