Looking for Michael Feeney

Morning from Portumna!

I looked at the message as it's on the Portumna message board - is there a connection as nothing mentioned?

Not to worry - I think the best route is to first contact the County Galway genealogy centres and see if they can locate anything as without a parish and for the time period (few records for the early 1800's), it's difficult for volunteers on the ground to research.

Please note this is a chargeable service - please tell them we sent you as well!

Have you also exhausted the records at the "other side". There is often more information in those records than in Ireland - e.g. Michael Feeney's point of entry in Boston, the ship he travelled on, his naturalisation papers....any one of these might mention a parish or some other useful information.

If you can pinpoint a parish, then IrelandXO volunteers can start looking for remaining connections.

Good luck!
