Resources

• National Archives of Ireland Try their census search
• Ireland Church Records Where to find church records with various links
• Ireland Census Substitutes What census records are available, with where to find them
• Ireland Emigration Video on FamilySearch on finding the origins of Irish Immigrants
• Irish Records Civil and Church record database
• Irish Ancestors This maps out where surnames are located, as well as locations in general
• Tracing Irish Roman Catholic Ancestry An overview of how to approach Roman Catholic research
• WikiTree Ireland Project Check for resources and stickers
• Tip: The census records are a good start, and you should be able to find images of all the birth records for each child on irishgenealogy. They have exact birth date, places, fathers Occupation, and mother’s maiden names. Once you get that, you can search for the marriage of the parents, and that gives their fathers names. The civil records are great, but only go back to 1864 for births, a bit earlier for marriages.

Tell Us What You Found!!

Interesting Finds

List interesting finds to share with the guest at the end of the week

• Daniel Fraher was a promoter of the Irish language, a collector of Irish manuscripts, and a merchant. He was found in many dog licenses, primarily for terriers. His wife predeceased him and he was listed as a widower and a draper.
  • Daniel keeps telling about those two in his interviews, but the dog licenses might be new to him, anyway
  • Maybe it's also new to him, that in front of that one's former shop there is a memorial plate with a picture of him on it. He also equipped the West Waterford IRA with uniforms.
• Mary (Walsh) Fraher (1865-1913) died in a mental asylum. She had been there for 15 Years. Her sister, Bridget, also died in a Mental asylum.
• Peter (Walsh) Welsh (1875-1932) their brother Peter - you have to read this one! A-maz-ing.
• Edmond Walsh (bef.1817-1879) Their father Edmund - Rosalie found a report of his marriage in an American newspaper which told us his parish - Cloga. This is different to the birth generally believed on Ancestry trees and led us to break a brick wall. His parents are Richard Walsh and Judy Hoban.
