Hello,

A few months ago I posted looking for information on my great great grandfather Michael O'Rourke, who was born around 1928 in Co. Leitrim. These were the only details I had. I can't find that post, but someone responded that he found a baptism record for Michael Roarke born Dec. 28, 1827 and baptized Jan. 3, 1828 in Mohill. Parents were Bridget Moran and Michael Roarke. I was searching on familysearch and found Michael Roarke with the same parents, birthdate and baptism date, but the years were 1867 and 1868. I was wondering if whoever gave me the information misread the years and was hoping somebody could check this again so I can make sure I'm not searching for the wrong people.

Thanks,

Joanne Drummond

  • Hi Joanne:

    Below is your November message and my response. I looked at the record again and since it is a civil record 1867/1868 would be correct not 1827/1828.

  • OK so it's back to the old drawing board.
