My grandfather-in-law, Michael Monahan, was born in Ireland in July 1861.  He emigrated to United States in 1879.  In 1885 he became a naturalized citizen.  He married "Mary" in 1887, who also had been born in Ireland in 1865 (I think her maiden name was Kelly, but am not sure) and emigrated either in 1868 or 1874.  In 1900 he lived on Nelson Street in Brooklyn, NY.  In 1910 he lived on Butler Avenue in Brooklyn, NY.  In 1920 he lived on St. Mark's Place  in Brooklyn, NY.  In 1939 he lived at 1139 E. 36th Street, Brooklyn, NY.  He and Mary had 7 children:  Mary born in 1888; Margaret born in 1893, Catherine born in 1896, Andrew born in 1899, Edward born in 1903,  Elizabeth, born in 1906, and my mother-in-law, Josephine born on July 30, 1907.  I am trying to find our where in Ireland they were born, and who their parents were.  I would appreciate any assistance.

I am trying to find information on my great great grandmother, Elizabeth Callahan.  I only know that she was born in County Leitrim in 1871 and her father was James Callahan and her mother was Catherine Leahy.  She moved to America and married John Tucker at St. Patrick's in Newark New Jersey and have my grandfather, George Tucker in Brooklyn, New York on September 27, 1900. 

My great great grandparents, Eli and Eliza Matthews were born in England, but I do not know where.  They were both born in 1843.  Eli was a silk weaver. They had 11 children, but only 5 survived to 1881.  They had William R. Matthews, Albert Matthews, George Matthews, Lucy Matthews. Their last child, Lucy Matthews was born on December 1, 1881 in Paterson, New Jersey.  Is there any way to find out more about Eli and Eliza Matthews? 

Ann Evans, daughter of William and Jane Evans of Carnarvon, was christened at parish of Llanbeblig in Carnarvon on Feb 24, 1813. 

William was a shoemaker, born about 1787 in Llanbeblig, Caernarvonshire, Wales, in the west ward of Caernarvon.  Jane (don't know her maiden name), his wife, was born about 1789 in Llangaffa, Anglesea, Wales.  Jane and William also had a son, Evan born about 1828 and a daughter, Jane born about 1831, and a daughter, Mary christened on February 19, 1817 in the parish of Llanbeblig.

Is there a way to get their birth records to see who William and Jane's parents were?

Ann Evans married John Williams, and had a daughter named Jane (after her mother) born around 1837, and another daughter, Elinor (Eleanor) born February 16, 1843 in Porthmadoc in the parish of Ynyscynhaiam.  She also had a son, John H. Evans born in 1850-1851 in Liverpool.  I went to Liverpool and to Caernarvon, but could not find a marriage certificate.  Most church records in Liverpool were missing before 1837.  How else could I find it?

Thanks.
