Ireland Reaching Out

Saw this message, i think the spelling is off with place of birth, could it be Bulgaden Kilmallock?

There was a book written by Imelda O Riordan in Kilmallock  on the Fenians recently "Kilmallock Fenians Retrieving their Story" , she might be worth an email? imeldaoriordan@gmail.com

amanda

Hey, got your emails re the book, i reckon kilmallock is the link, the book i mentioned may not be available in the library so definately contact imelda via her email above!

all the best, amanda

I believe that my Grandfather Thomas Emmett shared the same grandfather as the above mentioned David T. Emmett

Hi Mike:  

hopefully the original poster will see your message and reply. If you do not hear anything in the next week or two,  please email me and I will try to contact them.  You can reach me at:  jhalloranryan@irelandxo.com.  

Kind regards,

Hi Mike,  

Your post did not say whether you are in the U.S. or Ireland.  The other Emmett researcher and I are located in the U.S. and have some good records re the 2 Emmett bros, David T. and John who immigrated to Chicago downward to us.   I think both Mary and I would both be willing to share our information with you. What we do not have is information regarding the Emmet line back in Ireland.  Though questionable, We have that Thomas may be the son of a John Emmet and an unnamed French woman sometime in the 1700's.  His son may have been Thomas Emmet (1816-1875).  If this is your grandfather or direct other relative, we do have some information to share!  Contact me @ Storydancer@hotmail.com.  Please put 'Emmett Gen Ireland XO' in the subject line.  Best Regards,  Storydancer

Storydancer,

 Thank you for your quick response. I live in the United States. Based on what you are saying, Thomas would have been my great-great-grandfather. 

The information I have been able to gather and confirm would indicate that perhaps my great-grandfather Robert Emmet who was born in 1855 was the brother of David T. and John Emmet.

My great-grandfather Robert was born in Kilmallock in Ballinagoul.  He lived for a brief time in the United States and worked as a police officer to earn enough money to purchase the family farm in Ballinagoul. My grandfather Thomas told us about having to farm the land while his father was away in the states for a period of time. When my grandfather Thomas turned 17 he immigrated to the United States where he remained for the rest of his life. Please let me know if you have any other information or if there is anything that I can share with you.           -Mike
