  • Hi Pete,

    Thank you very much for your message.

    Do you have any more information that you can share that may aid our volunteers or others in assisting you? Information such as:

    • Parish of origin. Most Irish record sources- church records, land records, census records- are based on specific locations. Until you know a specific location within Ireland, preferably a parish or placename, it may be difficult to do anything more with these records.
    • Important dates to help establish a timeframe. E.G. birth/marriage/death dates
    • What do you know about his emigration?
    • What other family members do you know about?
    • Religious denomination.

    Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

    Kind regards,

    Genealogy Support
