Hi
Thank you for your message.
Do you have any additional informaiton regarding this individual which may assist others in furthering your search? : Do you know much about his emigration? The dates and who he may have been travelling with?..etc..Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you know the city he arrived at (e.g. Liverpool, New York, etc.), it would be a good place to find more information.
Some sites which may be of use to you are:
The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/

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.

Thanks for your message and additional references. I recently learned via facebook's group Irish Genealogy that a Frank Mundy arrived in New York aboard the Hark-Away emigrant ship in 1834. Other than that, I have no additional information to share at this point.
How can I check to see if there are living Mundys and Earlys in the Inishkeel area?
