Texts on specific Clare-born, descendants in Ire, U.S., Can.

[smcarberry]

The below are online publications with articles (mostly biographies) for Clare-born and their descendants in North America, given in full in the attached pdf.

Page numbers are not given in my listings, since I used the "full text" format, but the actual page images can be viewed using the pdf format for these texts, all in a collection called "The Internet Archives" to which universities and libraries have provided digitized texts from their hard-copy collections. I have done my best to correct garblings of words resulting from the optical recognition mode of reproducing the texts. However, seeing the actual pages is recommended for word/date verification.

Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia (1887)
Rev. Patrick Hogan, P.P. of St. Michael's, Limerick (in William Hogan text)

There are many more ACHS volumes online in the Internet Archives collection of digitized texts, all labeled with the year 1887 but published over many more years than that. All have a search engine for bringing up text with a particular search word. Using only "Ireland" and "Clare" I did a quick review of these volumes and found many records not related to Philadelphia, as well as wonderful tidbits of history that I never imagined. Using this set is like sitting in on a discussion among record archivists in the middle of a vast collection in some obscure, isolated location never seen by the public. The attached image describes child trafficking in early times, an adjunct to the practice of abducting men in seaports known as Shanghai-ing. Note also the article (listed below) that describes a group of Irish men from likely the Cork area, who joined the colonists of Virginia in the early 1600s. In that article I finally learned how the Virginia port of Newport News acquired its name (solely from the surnames of two influential men of that time and place, Newport and Neuce). There are undoubtedly many more such gems to be found; please add to this thread.

The parish records available in this series are from the late 1700s and early 1800s.
