Looking for relatives of John McCormick

Hi,

Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone with information contacts you and helps you to further your research.

It may be difficult to find out more about John without more information. Most important is a specific place of origin. Most Irish record sources- church records, land records, census records- are based on specific locations. Until you know a specific location within Ireland, preferably a parish or placename, it may be difficult to do anything more with these records.

Do you have any documentation pertaining to the family that mentions any place names in Kilkenny at all? This can include wills, marriage/death records,census records, letters, diary entries etc.

There are some places where you can search online, however it may be difficult to discern whether the results are relevant to your family or not without more information:

www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.

www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.

Have you tried looking into his emigration? Sometimes more infomation can be found at the port of arrival rather than that of departure. You may be lucky and find a place name here. For information on US immigration records check http://www.archives.gov/research/immigration/

Is there a connection between John and Kilmoleran parish?

Do you know his father?s name? If you do you could try looking for him in Griffith?s Valuation. This is a property valuation survey that was carried out in Ireland 1848-64. Although it doesn?t offer any genealogical information it can sometimes be used to tie a person to a specific place. you can search this online here:

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.

Kind regards,

Hi, Emma, thank you for the info. Don't have much other info to write. No relatives to ask any questions. All are dead. But really want to know more about my family. Would really like to know if I have any relatives left in Ireland. Will check web sites.  Mary, Luck of the Irish.
