Clare-born in Savannah, Georgia

Post by smcarberry » Sun Jun 29, 2008 7:48 pm

Certain census districts/wards for various census years in the U.S. have listed the birthplaces of resident immigrants. Usually
this was only the county, but sometimes the censustaker took the time to show the city as well. I have seen this already in Savannah in 1860 but this past week I was able to use a database which showed me every person with a Clare birth for each forename which I inputted. I had time to the following names. Note that the marital status is not indicated in the simple listing that I consulted, so these are likely not maiden names for the women.
