Hi!
I have been trying to trace my family tree back but have run out of leads! I hope someone can help?
My family is from Barnacullia/Ballyedmonduff [between Sandyford & Stepaside] and I can find lots of references to Traceys in the Irish 1910 census however, I can only get back as far as my Great, Great Grandfather and then the info stops.
His name was Edward [or possibly Edwardus] Tracey. He married Margaret [or possibly Margarita] Rogers at Kilternan Church Of Ireland Church [Protestant] about 1852. They then went to live in Ballyedmonduff [near Stepaside].
I'm sorry but I am new to all this so I have probably overlooked something obvious :)
If anyone could help, I would be really happy!!

some south County Dublin Parish records are available on the Irish Family History Foundation website at : www.irish-roots.ie
It might be worth checking to see is Kilternan CofI is one the registers they have
They charge €5 per transcript - you can check basic index details free, once you register
there are a couple of Tracey entries on Griffith Valuation quite close to Kilternan - Ballycorus, Shankill. They are dated 1849. see : http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_family_search_form.php

Hi Shane,
Thanks for this!
Ballycorus/Shankill both sound like good leads. I have discovered that I also have some family buried in Enniskerry so distance wise this is possible.
Also, as protestants, they all seem to be named after english kings so James would definately fit.
I think Rathmichael CofI would be the nearest church to to Ballycorus/Shankill so will see if they have any records.
Thanks again,
Glenn.

I think I know George Tracey he used to be a neighbour of mine, his family were from the Glencullen area.
If you Google George he was involved in motor racing.

Thanks Brendan!
Will check it out.
Do you remember what his parents names were?

Hi Glenn,
As far as I remember his father's name was George as well, he owned a Texaco garage in Cabinteely which has now been developed as an apartment complex.

Hi
Have you obtained a copy of the marriage certificate from the Irish GRO yet? That will show the names & occupations of both the bride & grooms fathers
If you go onto the Family Search Record Search Pilot site you will find the Irish GRO BMD Indexes at...................
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start
and by inputting the the required details you should find that there is only one index reference that matches both the brides entry and the grooms entry.
Good luck.

Hi Hugo,
I have been looking at this site [it's very good] and gathering info.
Not yet got copies of the actual records. I am gonna try to do that this weekend.
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried the other variants Tracy and Treacy?
Tracy seems to be more common in Wicklow (29) than either Tracey (5) or Treacy (1) on the Irish Times site.

Hi Dara,
Yes, I have looked at Wicklow and suspect that there will be a link. The area my family is from is pretty close to the Wicklow border and some of my family are buried at Enniskerry [even though I know they did not live there].
As far as the variations on the name goes, I can see that in some cases the names seem to be interchangeable. I have records of my family which seem to have been spelt "Tracy" rather than "Tracey". Maybe poor record keeping?
Cheers,
Glenn.

I now have some additional details thanks to LH....
Baptisms:
5 Sept 1822 Thomas son of William & Elizabeth Tracey of Ballycorus.
17 Oct 1824 Edward son of William & Elizabeth Tracey of Kingston Lodge (probably Sandyford/Ticknock Cross)
14 Dec 1828 Diana daughter of William & Elizabeth Tracey of Kilternan
7 Aug 1831 Edward son of William & Elizabeth Tracey of Ballybetagh (Their earlier Edward had probably died)
11 Dec 1833 James son of William & Elizabeth Tracey.
These would all seem to be Edward[us] siblings.
Unfortunately, I have no additional info.
Does anyone have any record of these guys?
Thanks,
Glenn.
