« on: Monday 17 October 05 05:36 BST (UK)  »
Hello rootschat world.  ;D
I am looking for a business that my Great-great grandfather Matthew Clancy owned. It was called Clancy's Tavern located in Homewood, Allegheny County, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Is there a site somewhere that I can find listings of old business anywhere?

 Thanks for the help,

World War One / WW1 draft registration cards
« on: Monday 17 October 05 01:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone :). I am wondering if someone can help me out with a little problem that I have.
           I am looking for my great-great grandfather Samuel David Roscoe. He was born in England in the northern part is what I am told. He immigrated with his family to the U.S. and eventually to Pittsburgh, PA. He joined the navy during WW1 and filled a registration card like every male was required to do.
         I am trying to locate his draft card and/or his place of birth and his parents but with the small amount of info that I do have I really don't know where to start. None of the family really know anything about him and his past. He is becoming a huge mystery that I dying to solve.
            So I need a starting point and some kind person to point me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated and will not go un-noticed.
Thank you so much. caclancy

Ireland / Some interesting questions on immigrating to America.
« on: Friday 15 July 05 03:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi there. :)
    A few random questions to put out there to find some answers on the how's,where's and whys on immigrating to America.  And please excuse my ignorance on this subject :-[

1. Were there other places besides Ellis Island and Boston that was used to immigrate to America?

2. If somebody had money or maybe "connections" ( for lack of a better word) in America, would they choose one harbor over another?

3. If someone didn't want to be seen or recognized, which harbor would they might choose?

Thank you for reading and not laughing too hard at my mysterious, perhaps naive, questions. :D   Have a great day!!!!

             Thank you,  caclancy

Ireland / Has anyone heard of Clancy's Tavern in Pittsburgh,PA?
« on: Thursday 14 July 05 15:15 BST (UK)  »
:D Hi there to you who is reading. Hope you are having a good day!

I hope you can help me a little. My great-grandfather owned a bar called Clancy's Tavern in Homewood (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania from about 1926 until he retired in 1956. I heard it was a huge gathering for the Irish culture not only local but the visiting Irish as well. I heard rumours about connections of the IRA but no facts.

Has anyone heard of his tavern or have any stories they would like to share with me? I would just like to get a feel  for how it was like, etc.
I found a picture of it and it sparked my interest and imagination.

             Thank you for your time.

Cork / need to find a Clancy ; County Corke g-g-grandfather
« on: Friday 08 July 05 00:28 BST (UK)  »

I need some help looking for a Clancy. I am looking for my g-g-grandfather, Peader (Patrick) Clancy. He had, at least,  2 sons, Matthew ( my g-grandfather)  and Patrick who eventually immigrated to Pittsburgh, PA in 1925.  I have alot of "stories" on this person including he fought with Micheal Collins; he was only known as Captain; he was part of the The Irish Volunteers ( Oglaigh na b Eireann) ,Southern Brigade; he was executed as a result of either the Easter Rising of 1916 or Bloody Sunday 1920.

He lived in County Cork. I could use some facts on his family; siblings, other children,parents,etc.

Thank You for your time. Any clues would be extremely helpful.

Thanks, caclancy ;D
