I'm sure you know that you have to make a list of what you know, what you want to know and a list of resources that might possibly answer your questions.

They may have suggestions. Perhaps there is a townland where your surname was clustered. I find the County Centers of the Irish History FOundation to be very helpful. I used both Cavan & Tipperary counties with great results.Colleen G.

My great-grandmother came from Ireland, but I can't even place her arrival in the US in order to go back from there. She lived in New York in the Bronx, but she could have entered from anywhere. I really need to concentrate on figuring out where and with whom.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203921263391858427.post-46960798378273945822013-01-08T14:34:27.583-05:002013-01-08T14:34:27.583-05:00Thanks for the suggestion.
My Irish brick wall ...Thanks for the suggestion. <br /><br />My Irish brick wall is being able to nail down where in Ireland my ancestor Patrick Fraher came from. We know it was County Waterford. We haven't been able to get more specific than the county. I think I need to find a US record which narrows down where in County Waterford they came from.<br /><br />Regards, Jim<br /><a href="http://www.hiddengenealogynuggets.com" rel="nofollow">Hidden Genealogy Nuggets</a><br />Jim (Hidden Genealogy Nuggets Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15493118494172970052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203921263391858427.post-84596951787134641702013-01-08T13:09:47.599-05:002013-01-08T13:09:47.599-05:00Thanks for this great suggestion.
