Hi Garry,
Thank you for your message.
Do you have any other information that you can share? Do you have first names, occupations, important dates regarding the people you are researching? Did they emigrate? Do you know anything about their emigration? Do you know of any other parishes, apart from Cliftden thatthey came from? Do you know their religious denomination?
Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.
Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
Kind regards,
