Millymcb - I noticed you mentioned a book written by a local historian about Ballybay. Would you happen to know the name of the book and where I might purchase it? If you could just give me the name of the book, that would be fine. Thank you.
Was there something in particular you wanted looking up. When I find the book I could take a look for you.
Milly

I don't know if Paedar is the co-author or not, but, I noticed the unusual spelling of the co-author's name and the spelling of the person who answered my question and they are the same spelling. I just took a chance and asked. I don't know, yet, if the person is the co-author, or, not. It might just be a coincidence, but, then again, it might be one of the co-authors, and, I might be a good detective. (lol)

Oh, that's very nice of you, Millie. Actually there is. My grandmother was from Ballybay. I would have to look at my list, but, her name was Catherine Cavanagh,(B.- September, 1880). Daughter of Bernard Cavanagh and Bridget Kelly. My grandmother emigrated to the USA in 1902 with her sister, Ida Cavanagh. They had about 10 children in their family. I know they lived right down the street from St. Patrick's RC Church, where she was baptized. I believe some of her family are buried in the St. Patrick's churchyard. I'll have to find my paperwork, where I can list all the children's names. Do you think you can find anything on the Cavanagh Family for me? (The spelling of the last name is open for discussion - It was spelled with a "C" on my grandmother's Bptismal Certificate, but, later on was changed to a "K" in New York City). Thanks, Millie, for any help you can give me.

Thank you, Paedar. I know some of my grandmother's family were buried in a family plot and I know their church had been St. Patrick's. but, maybe they are buried in the Ballintra Cemetery, although, the Kavanagh Family for 1923-49 could be them. I plan to write to Paedar Murnane about purchasing the book. I know the priest at St. Patrick's was very nice when I sent him an email inquiring about my Grandmother's Baptismal or Birth Certificate, and, he mailed it right out to me and it contained alot of information about her family. The book soounds like it will be very interesting, too. Thanks, again.

Hi -
When I can find the book I will have a look and see what else may be there...I think there may have been a chapter about people emigrating to America in there which was quite an interesting read.

Thank you, Milly. That would be fine. If you find the book, could you please see if there is anything for Bernard and Bridget (Kelly) Cavanagh. I believe, at one point, they were living down the street from St. Patrick's RC Church, so, I'm not quite sure what Bernard did for a living with 10 or 11 children to support, living in the town. Thanks, again, Milly.
