rootsireland is the only real choice for pre 1864 records but you need to know what townland in Mayo that your family came from to see do records for that parish still exist.

I had a look at their free index and the Hopkins / Conmee combination is not showing up.

Are you sure they were from Mayo ?

I saw this record and thought it was interesting !

I am a Hopkins descendent from Attycunnane, Belmullet. William my 3rd great grandfather, his wife Mary and their children left Blacksod Bay on the SS Manitoban. Only one daughter my great great grandmother Catherine came to Scotland.  I still have Hopkins relations in the Belmullet area.  Not sure if that helps in your search?

Welcome to RootsChat, MonicaD  :)

I am a Hopkins descendent from Attycunnane, Belmullet.

Do you mean the townland of Atticonaun in the civil parish of Kilcommon?

Hello  :)

I keep coming across different spellings in documents. One of the documents relating to the Tukes fund refers to Atchecunaun
