Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
As well, I must do this quickly but I send greetings of the day. I will expand soon on a recent discovery of a McNamara of Newmarket-on-Fergus in NYS (location named in the court order, allowing notice by publication of the decedent's siblings in Clare), found when doing the AI-based searches of wil...

Prof. Kerby Miller was paired with a UG techie to present his collection in two...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Jimbo, I am not sure where Tom McDowell was for his 520 Killuran graveyard entries, as the Library's links no longer work on that webpage, to see either his photos taken of gravestones or the Ordnance Survey map section for the graveyard. Dates Tom recorded as being on the stones don't reach back in...

Re: John McNamara (c.1764–1822), Coolnahilla, Killuran.
There is a English-language obituary for old John in the 11 September 1822 edition of The Limerick Chronicle. That obit is listed under the incorrect townland spelling of "Coolneballa" but otherwise referenced correctly as Barony of Tulla, Clare, at https://www.limerickcity.ie/media/Obituaries_%20de...

Re: Full-text search now online for filmed U.S.wills & deeds, free via FamilySearch.og
Kurt, that is a huge number of results. My 4900 were all I got by inputting only "County Clare" as a search term. So, all I can advise is to be sure you have quotations around your search term. If you have a specific Clare locality in mind, try using just the locality name (one word) as the search t...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
I am keeping this posting to a bare minimum, in the interest of getting out basic info on the "universe" of McNamara families in and around Kilkishen currently under Jimbo's scrutiny. There is a lot more information on hand (in my files) regarding the 6 Dec 1849 eviction - the chain of leases involv...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
First, I second Sheila's praise for doing so much on this portion of the McNamara families in and around Kilkishen, for what seems to be the most original lineage(s), with the inter-relationships as outlined among the men both named John McNamara in 1871 when Michael was murdered. I have some news i...

Re: Thomas J. Madigan, Sergeant Major U.S. Army, born in Kilrush
Jimbo had wondered: How likely is it that an Irishman in the United States has no siblings or cousins or other relatives? . No one has yet brought up the existence of another Thomas Madigan b. Dec 1875, who also had a significant connection to Ireland and Jersey City, New Jersey, where he was born. ...

Re: Thomas J. Madigan, Sergeant Major U.S. Army, born in Kilrush
Jimbo's query: One news article above stated...that Thomas J. Madigan had died "without relatives". Was this true? How likely is it that an Irishman in the United States has no siblings or cousins or other relatives? As Sheila Duddy asked, I provide a best guess for John Madigan who (eventually) arr...

Re: Thomas J. Madigan, Sergeant Major U.S. Army, born in Kilrush
I have started reading this thread very, very late to the game, and I am only on page 1 of the postings. You all may be far past this point in the research still needed, but I would be remiss not to mention the resource I found so useful when researching Manitowoc County WI for the Co. Clare immigra...

Re: Need suggestions on where to publish an article
Sheila, very timely comments, thanks. Also, it's a source of joy and positivity that we have the Forum to communicate our interests and encouragement to do more in bringing forward into 2024 the very foggy past of Clare. We follow in the footsteps of T.J. Westropp, Ignatius Murphy, and Gerard Madden...

Canadian historic newspapers, Montreal findings for Clare-born
I realize this subject is not on most Clare family historians' radar, but I keep an eye out for sources that cover the 1800s era of Montreal, Province of Quebec, Canada. During the time-out recently of this Forum, I dug deeper into a source used in 2020 for death notices of Clare-born in that city, ...
