Hello everyone, Yesterday I received a large envelope in the mail [Thanks to the Gents at NAI] with 10 pages of ejectments from the Killaloe sessions and this included my Daniel McNamara(s).

All,

One more question for all the handwriting gurus. The line beginning with 1085 has a name following and I think it is either the price $10.85 along with artist name or it is just an address 1085 _______, Englewood. Any other comments?

Hi Sharon, Thank you for all that, it was great and point on. I had thought to describe this as a pastel artwork except that it doesn't rub off nor is it varnished. Along the left edge, the coating has worn some from rubbing on glass. All that can be seen there is a purplish-reddish colored cardboar...

Hi Paddy, The image appears to be a painting without any brush marks. It has the appearrance of being "air-brushed." The colors have uniform gradients. At the borders the color gradients hold, at the bottom you can see the base is brown and that is also painted. It may actually be a photographic pro...

Hi all, I recently visited East Clare and met for the first time my Mac cousin who gave me a framed painting of who I think is my great-grandfather Daniel McNamara from Laccaroe Lower Townland. On the back of the painting is "53196 - 1085 Grey(?) - 10 x 16 - Eriglewood" or Englewood ? My question is...

Tony, In July of 2003 I received information about several ALLEN family groups from an Allen in the area. There are two Denis Allen marriages, but neither married a GORMAN. I do have a few GORMANs in these records, but only as Baptismal sponsors of an ALLEN child. I don't know if this will help you,...
