I am looking for the parents of my great grandfather William Carroll, born about 1828, emigrated from Ireland to New York, USA, around 1847. Any information would be helpful.
Thank you,
Larry

Hi Larry,
You can try posting as much information as you can regarding your relative. The more information that you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to assist you.
You might check http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=East%20Limerick&parish=Croom&churchid=881 for available Church records for Croom.
If you havent already - You could try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) for the family. The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38): Microfilm copies of the books for all of Ireland are available at the National Archives of Ireland (NAI) http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/tithe-applotment-books-and-the-primary-griffith-valuation/ or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS). Griffith's is freely available here: www.askaboutireland.com or here: www.failteromhat.com Failte Romhat has lots of other useful links you could try looking at.
All the best.
