Kildare / Re: Please help me understand
« on: Saturday 24 May 14 07:25 BST (UK)  »
Thanks !  I'll start there.  I know that they were well entrenched in the states by then...he became a us citizen in 1836.  He had to have been here for five years, which is why I'm saying 1830.

Kildare / Please help me understand

Am just learning some of the differences and could use some edumacation ;).
When someone from Ireland says they are from
"Kildare", does that mean the town of Kildare or does  that mean "county Kildare"???  Seems as I am trying to narrow down my search I am not sure of what exactly I'm looking for.

Thanks so very much.  I know with the fire and the early year that I may be at a dead end but absolutely NOTHING was as thrilling as stepping off the bus and walking around that town.  Such an amazing feeling!  Thank you all for the help you provide to all of us that so desperately want that connection with your wonderful country!
Thanks for the lead,  I'll keep plugging away!
Thanks again

Allen & Milltown Kildare RC church records- Lookup Offer

« on: Friday 26 March 10 16:25 GMT (UK) »

I have some pages from the Allen & Milltown Kildare RC church baptism and marriage records ca 1800`s. Will do lookups, names begin with McD and R. Marriages are Mc Avoy and some Rs. The baptisms have both parents names and marriages have bride and groom. Both lists give towns.

Hi,  this is a random, off chance...If/when you have time...OWEN EUGENE REED/REID married MARY CUFF... They were in the states by 1830...she is from Kildare.  He is from ?
born 181, sorry, that's all I have at the moment...will have to dig into my records for specific dates.
Got it...She was born in 1810 and he was born in 1806.  Died Jun 22, 1871 "in the 65th year of his life"

Hi to everyone!  Am brand new to this site but have been doing geneology since the 70's.  More off than on but I keep plugging away. 
I have a death notice for my GGG Grandmother stating she was from Kildare.  I know where she is buried here in the states but have not had any success narrowing down the location in Kildare to a town...I have been to Kildare but at that time did not have her maiden name which I now know was Cuff...and of course, her first name was (what else) MARY!  She married Eugene Owen Reed/Reid (his tombstone says REED/hers says Reid) and Reid has carried down thru the generations.  No way of determining where in Kildare or what possible parish..  I have lots of documentation on these two here in the states from about 1830 (not very much on her) but can't cross the ocean.  NO IDEA WHERE HE ORIGNINATED OR WHERE THEY WERE MARRIED.  First child was born here. 
 ???Any ideas?
