Mayo / Re: Crossmolina Church Records
« on: Wednesday 25 June 14 22:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi Mark,

There are McGlynn headstones in two cemeteries near Crossmolina: Leigue, Ballina and Moygawnagh (Old).  You can see the headstones online at  http://goldenlangan.com/headstones.html . 

Also, the map on the above page shows the local cemeteries around Crossmolina.

In case you are not already aware, there is a Joyce family tree (from Belmullet) posted at http://www.goldenlangan.com/families.html .  Also, several Joyce and Dixon headstones appear in the Emlybeg and old Carne cemeteries (see http://www.goldenlangan.com/headstones.html ).

Mayo / Ballycastle Parish Registers on-line
« on: Saturday 16 February 13 22:02 GMT (UK)  »
Some of the parish registers for Ballycastle (includes Doonfeeny and Kilbride civil parishes) have recently been transcribed and are now on-line.  These registers include names of parents, often with maiden names, and are free to search or browse.

Mayo / Re: James and Ann Duffy family 1800 to 1849, Sligo/Mayo borders
« on: Saturday 09 February 13 02:57 GMT (UK)  »
Good questions.  I don't know of a specific resource that maps the Tithes to the available church records, but presumably you could just search using the appropriate parish names.

The map that I find most useful for locating townlands and parishes is at "Ask about Ireland":

http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=placeSearch

It allows you to search for a townland or parish by name and then displays it on an old 1800's ordnance survey (OS) map superimposed on a modern Google map.  The OS map is marked with the townlands and parishes which should be the same as listed in the Tithes, while the Google map shows the current Sligo/Mayo border as a dotted line.  You can move a slider to vary the relative intensities of the two superimposed maps.  It's brilliant!

In the absence of the exact pre-1899 border locations (I believe that the changes were relatively minor), it would seem to make sense to just include any James-Duffys that are located near to the current County border on both sides, then you should be covered.

Good hunting!

A couple more thoughts to add to the advice already offered...

If your ancestors farmed more than an acre of land then they should be recorded in the Tithe Applotments which were complied 1823-1837.  The Tithes are a useful census substitute and are now on-line at the National Archives.  They can be searched for free at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp .

A few James Duffys show up in the Tithes in both Sligo and Mayo, and you can filter these by parish or townland.  This may help focus your parish records search.

Secondly, remember that the Mayo/Sligo border changed in 1899.  For example, Ardnaree was in Sligo before 1899 but became part of Mayo after 1899.

Good luck!

Hi Marcella,
There are some Paget graves in St Mary's Church (C of I) in Crossmolina.  They are listed on the GoldenLangan.com web site at
http://goldenlangan.com/graves-sy.html .
Not sure if these are of your family, but good luck, David

Mayo / Mayo Library, new genealogy resource
« on: Monday 11 July 11 20:37 BST (UK)  »
In case anyone is not yet aware, Mayo County Library has just launched a new genealogy web-site specifically for County Mayo that allows users to view other family trees and upload their own: 
    http://www.mayo.ie/dnn/Genealogy.aspx .   
 
They have also started a Forum on Mayo Family History at: 
    http://www.mayo.ie/dnn/Forums.aspx . 

Although it is new and has limited data right now, this should become another useful Mayo resource.
