Re: Question about Birth Cert
In my families I found several people who were baptised weeks or months before they were born. I ruled out errors in the dates given in the baptism registers because the entries in the latter were in chronological order. I was subsequently told that in an agricultural community ploughing and harvest...

Re: FITZGIBBON (Crusheen/Sranagalloon) to LOBURN, New Zealan
The attached article from the Other Clare journal on the Vesey-Fitzgerald family ("The family records are traced back to the Fitzgibbon family...") was sent to me some years back by Sheila Duddy (I was interested in the Vesey-Fitzgeralds because they were my paternal ancestors' landlords in Tubber)....

... they originally came from "Luckid"/ Tubber. This area is largely in Galway, in the parish of Rathwilladoon... Just to summarise the geography here: Tubber (An Tobar in Irish) is a large rural area and community without officially defined borders that one would find on a map, i.e. it is not a to...

Shannon,
You might like to speak to Matthew (Mattie) Corbett who lives on the Tulla Road in Crusheen. His mother was Kathleen Fitzgibbon (who married a Corbett). I'll send you his phone number by PM.

Re: FITZGIBBON (Crusheen/Sranagalloon) to LOBURN, New Zealan
To muddy the waters a little, in Thomas Coffey's book The Parish of Inchicronan (chapter 20, p. 104) it says "The Fitzgibbons and Ashes were close neighbours, and this union produced one son whom they named Maurice Fitzgerald, dropping the name Fitzgibbon there and thereafter. Maurice married...". S...

Re: FITZGIBBON (Crusheen/Sranagalloon) to LOBURN, New Zealan
Dropping the letter in the mailbox is so surreal. Hi Shannon, I was wrong about that printout being dropped in the mailbox. I should have washed my ears out. The truth is even better. It was handed personally to one of the Shranagalloon Fitzgibbons so the chain of communication is complete, i.e. th...

Re: FITZGIBBON (Crusheen/Sranagalloon) to LOBURN, New Zealan
My paternal family is from the Tubber/Crusheen/Ruan triangle area so I've done quite a bit of research on the families around there. I have not researched the Fitzgibbons directly but in the course of transcribing church records and gravestones I have come across numerous Fitzgibbons (see www.clarel...

Re: Need suggestions on where to publish an article
I would suggest "The Other Clare", the annual journal of the Shannon Archaeological and Historical Society. They have a Facebook page but no website... Secretary was listed in 2009 as Peter Wise, 33 Ballycasey Crescent, Shannon, V14VP04, Ireland. E-mail: peter.wise.ie@gmail.com (the '.ie' is import...

The Baker family in the Ballyline-Corofin-Tubber triangle is one of my research targets.
