I'm finally getting over to Ireland this December.  Any suggestions on were to begin looking for records while over there?  Hoping to stop in Dublin, Leitrim and Mayo while there.

Thanks,

Hi Jim,

I was wondering if you found out any information on the Boles family.  I am trying to find a connection between my ancestors and yours.  My grandgather, Patrick McPadden, emigrated into Canada in 1925 to stay with his cousin, John Boles (your grandfather's uncle) and his wife, Mary Comber Boles in Montreal before coming into the US.  The only possible connection I can think of might be my grandfather's mother (Mary Higgins McPadden) and your grandfather's mother (Eliza Higgins Boles).  I just haven't found out what that connection could be.  Other than that I can't find anything that could connect Boles and McPadden.  I'm trying to plan a trip over to Leitrim (hopefully this October). 

Thanks,
Heather

Thanks, John. 

I have the actual birth cert. for Patrick Francis (I tried to attach it but it seems to be too large).  I have seen the 1901 and 1911 census records and yes, that is the correct family on both.  My problem is finding information on Patrick's family farther back.  I will have to check the LDS films you suggested. 

Thanks again,
Heather

Leitrim / McPadden from Leitrim
« on: Monday 14 September 09 20:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have hit a brick wall and hope someone may be able to help.  My grandfather, Patrick Francis McPadden was born in Drumkeerin (7/28/1904).  His parents were Patrick McPadden (b. 1869) and Mary Higgins (b. 1873).  As stated on their marriage certificate, from 1899, their fathers were listed as Patrick McPadden and Francis Higgins.  I believe Francis Higgins was married to Bridget Gaffney but can not find any other information on Patrick McPadden (my gggfather) or who his wife was.  I checked the LDS website and the only other McPadden that I could find in the area who had a son named Patrick born around around 1869 was a Francis McPadden and Mary McNella. Could the marriage certificate found on the Leitrim Geneology website have the wrong name for Patrick's father?

Sorry, so many Patricks I am sure it gets confusing.
