Hi and thank you for your reply.  Do you know how I can write any of the Fox families you know in Shercock Co Caven?

Thank you,

Hi Chrisopher,

Are those the only McCabe's listed for that valuation?  If that's the case, it's hard telling which might be the fathe of Henry, Michael and Margaret McCabe. 

Thank you for taking time to publish the information.

Ireland / Re: Family Migration in Ireland?

I guess it begs the question, are people in Monaghan or any other county in Ireland looking to find long lost family? Are people who live in the more remote areas of Ireland, meaning away from the big cities of Dublin even have access to the internet or even care to?

Thanks for your insight!
Patrick

Catherine Duffy of Lisnadarragh Monaghan
Patrick Fox Corracharra Monaghan
Michael Fox Rebane Monaghan

These names were written in my great-grandmother's cook book. She lived 74 years until 1952. I'm assuming she had some sort of contact with these folks.

I've used the Erie online phone book to see if anyone with those surnames are still livining in those townlands, but nothing has come up.

Is there a better resource for finding current folks living in Monaghan Co?

Ireland / Family Migration in Ireland?
« on: Thursday 21 September 06 05:12 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me if families that once lived in small townlands during the late 1800's, would have decendants still living in and around those townlands today?

What is the likelyhood that 2nd and 3rd generations of a family would move to another townland and or county in Ireland?

I'm trying to figure out if families that once lived in a certain townland in the early 1900's would still have decendants living in the area.

Thanks!

Tipperary / Ryan Family from Drom
« on: Thursday 21 September 06 05:07 BST (UK)  »
I'm researching Edmund and Hannah Shelly Ryan, they were married June 2, 1833 and had four boys named Philip br. March 1834, John Edward Oct. 1835, Michael Sept. 1838 and Edward June 1844. Hannah brought with her two children from her first marriage to John Shanahan; Mary br. May 1832 and Patrick abt. 1833.

Edmund and Hannah list Judith Ryan as a godparent to one of the baptized children. I'm guessing Judith could be a sister to Edmund.

This family came to the USA around 1854 according to American Census Records. They settled in Ft. Thomas and Newport Kentucky.

I'm looking for anyone who may connect to this family.

Thank you!

Cavan / Re: McNally - Townland of Shanco

Thank you for your reply. I did some more research and found the townland of Shanco to be located in the Civil Parish of Magheross, Co Monaghan. This area would be west of Carrickmacross as indicated by the Priest.

McCabe Family Roots Request

Thank you for taking time to read my request. I am Patrick Ryan living in the United States and spending my free time researching my family roots from Ireland.

I would appreciate any information you may be able to present. I’m looking to reconnect with distant relatives so that I may learn even more about our history.

My great-grand mother Mary Ann McNally McCabe wrote in her cook book that her husband Harry “Jake” McCabe had relations in Bally Bay Monaghan. Jake spent all his life living in Terre Haute, Indiana USA. He was born Jun 16, 1880 died January 16, 1947. 

Jake’s parents were Henry and Maria Lewis (LaPlante) McCabe. The LaPlante maiden name was Maria’s adoptive parents name. Maria McCabe and her two daughters Harriet and Maria McCabe Wickes moved to Manhattan during the 1920’s until their deaths from 1926-1935.

Henry McCabe came to the USA around the mid 1860’s along with his brother Michael J McCabe and sister Margaret McCabe who later married Francis Campbell.

Jake’s brothers and sisters were:

John Francis McCabe
Edmund L McCabe
Maria McCabe Wickes
Rose McCabe Hauser
Richard M McCabe (died age 2)
Harriet Margaret McCabe
Catherine Louise McCabe
Florence Anna McCabe
