Hello

I'm trying to find out more about my family roots in Ireland. 

I can trace my family back to Annaduff Parish in Leitrim with my great great grandmother Margaret Gill who was baptized June 10, 1855 with the parents Michael Gill and Ann Shanly in the Catholic faith. I believe they may have had more children and one of them might have been called Eliza.

Is there anything else you can tell me about this family or my heritage?

    Michael Gill and Ann Shanly did have a number of other children in addition to Margaret and those records are available through the Roots Ireland database.  For ease of reference, I have copied the relevant information below for you:

    The above records are also available through the National Library of Ireland parish registers and the link for the parish of Annaduff is below:

    http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0142

    I was unable to find a marriage record for Michael Gill and Ann Shanly, but you might make a search for it through the marriage register in the parish.

    If you need further assistance, please let me know.

     

    The best of luck with your research!

    Kind regards,

     

    Jane.

    Dear Theresa:  

    I will try to find out more information about cousins from some of our volunteers and local History societies for you.  

    Will you let me know your dates in November and we can try to arrange a volunteer to meet you?  

    You can email the information to me at:  jhalloranryan@irelandxo.com.  

    All the best,

     jane
