I had previously posted Casy family from county Sligo but now think they maybe from County Mayo. 

Also Sheerans family thought from County Mayo but now think they maybe from County Sligo. Looking for descendants of John, Patrick and James Sheerans.  Brothers of Bridget Elizabeth Sheerans who left Ireland for USA, state of PA.

any help finding family members appreciated 

thanks

  • Hi sir i have a list of sites that you may want to seach on to find any information that may help you find your descendants.

     

    Ellis Island:http://www.ellisisland.org/search/passSearch.asp Castlegardenhttp://www.castlegarden.org/ US National Archives/Immigration info:http://www.archives.gov/research/immigration/ The Boston Pilot; From October 1831 through October 1921, the Boston Pilot newspaper printed a?Missing Friends? column with advertisements from people looking for ?lost? friends and relativeswho had emigrated from Ireland to the United States. This extraordinary collection of 40,743 recordsis available here as a searchable online database, which contains a text record for each ad thatappeared in the Pilot. http://infowanted.bc.edu/ The next thing you could do is find the counties and places in Ireland your family names are mostprevalent. Look at the website http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/ and perhapssomething will match some other clue you may have found elsewhere? If nothing turnsup ? it is advisable to try different variations of the spellings of the names. If you have a possiblefirst name you could try the Irish Census 1901, 1911 at www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ or the landvaluation record called Griffiths Valuationhttp://askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml
