I haver been given this information by FamilySearch.org but have been unable to verify it. Due to distance and reduced mobility I am unable to go to a FamilySearch centre to view the records. Can anyone of you good people suggest the…

Any birth record that is over 100 years old is available to the public, meaning that you do not need any special clearance to obtain a copy. If the birth occurred less than 100 years ago, access to the record is restricted. This Web site lists the…

Nora Galvin replied to Lorraine Dormer's discussion 'Passengers on Bounty Ships' in the group Ireland and Irish Ancestry

Lorraine, I think you are right to be mystified by this story. Since the United States had been a sovereign nation for some 70 years before the incident you describe, there does not appear to be a legal reason for such a move. Transportation was a…

Thanks, Norman. Closing the state library would be a huge loss for all family historians. I suspect the library will be safe if the state employees approve the agreement their leaders made with the governor. Nevertheless, signing the petition is…

Norman R. Brown commented on Nora Galvin's group 'Connecticut Research'

I am told that the Connecticut State Library is slated to close on June 30. Aside from the significant and detrimental impact this will have on libraries and their patrons across the state it also means that people will no longer have access…

At 3:50pm on July 9, 2009, Ruby Coleman said…: Thanks for your advise. I have long suspected that it is misspelled. I have checked an old map of Galway, but found nothing similar. It looks almost like a place in Wales. Somebody along through the years probably didn't know how to spell it and just guessed. Will keep trying to locate something.
