Miskell family from County Galway

Hi Dawn

Welcome to IrelandXO.

The placenames were often mispelled in the Boston Pilot entries.

There was a Miskill family in Kilchreest / Roxborough / Ballycuddy area which is most likely the connection. Church records for Kilchreest start in 1855.

  +Sarah "Sally" Madden b: 1840

                  2  Thomas Miskell b: 1863

                  2  Sabina Miskell b: 2.4.1870 in Kilchreest

                  2  Michael Miskell b: 29.5.1872

Hi Gerard, Thank you for this information!  Best Regards, Dawn

Hello Dawn,

Patrick Miskell, born circa 1778 Killcrick, Foxboro, County Galway, Ireland is my 2nd great-grandfather through his son Frederick. 

There are no Harvey's down my branch. How is your husband related?

Catherine Miskell

Hello Catherine!  Harvey is my maiden name and my husband's last name is Schmidt. His second great grandmother was Elizabeth Miskell Cleary. Elizabeth's father was Thomas Miskell.  My husband and mother-in-law, Patricia Hartman, are both DNA matches with the descendants of Frederick Miskell. Both my husband and mother-in-law and descendants of Frederick Miskell are also shared matches with other descendants of Elizabeth Miskell Cleary, which is why I know that Thomas Miskell was definetly related to Patrick Miskell.  I believe that Patrick is either the father or uncle of Thomas.  Thomas was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1820 and his father was born in Ireland. There are no birth records for Thomas in Maryland in 1820 (the Maryland Archives stated I wouldn't find civil birth records from this time period). Thomas' death record did not list the names of his parents. Any additional information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.  I have several records for Thomas Miskell on a public tree on Ancestry.com.  I could send you an invite if you are interested. I look forward to hearing from you!   Best Regards, Dawn Harvey-Schmidt.
