Any further thoughts about the copyright implications of this proposed project? I live in the US and know a little bit about US copyright issues as a lawyer (although intellectual property is not my practice area.) Very briefly, in the US facts cannot be copyrighted, although commentary about facts ...

No problem on the parishes, I can pick another one, perhaps on the other side of Feakle. Has anyone taken Inchicronan?

I would like to handle the parishes of Moynoe and Iniscealtra if they are not already spoken for. thanks,
Pam

To Everyone: I apologize for this off-topic posting in response to a question in the thread. I'm new here so please indulge me this one time. Tom: I recently learned about two ancestors from Feakle: great great grandfather Henry Barrett (ab. 1826) and his father John Barrett, a labourer. Henry Barre...

Paddy: That's fine, I will wait for the updated list and then let you know.

I'm in! Please let me know what I can do to help with this project.

thank you! I learned a lot from the article. It's a keeper.

For example, the information for Henry Barrett of County Clare, Parish Feakle states: Publication Details Position on Page 9 Printing Date 1855 Act 15&16 Sheet Number 19,27 Map Reference 7 When ...

This parish is some distance from Ballyvaughan, and there are numerous Barretts listed on Griffiths Valuation in 1855, but I thought I'd mention it. I'm trying to find Henry Barrett's birth record in Fe...
