My maternal grandparents were married in England and I haven't been able to get marriage certificates. My paternal grandparents were married in US but I'm not sure where and can't frind those records either, can I still get Irish citizenship? http://goballycastle.com/blog/index.php?blog=2&title=irish_citizenship&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#c317 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 02:49:41 +0000 Nora Boyle [Visitor] c304@http://goballycastle.com/blog/ Catherine Feeley, Catherine Ferry, James Gallagher, Boyle, County Lietriem...all 4 grandparents were born there.

I am from the Pittsburgh PA region and there are a lot of people of Irish descent living here. I am surely going to read all your information and I am anxious to start reading. I thought I had my Great Grandparents figured out from the information on their marriage application. Then upon requesting their death certificates the dates and information was all different. Back to the research for me.... http://goballycastle.com/blog/index.php?blog=2&title=u_s_cities_with_large_irish_american_pop&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#c107 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:53:27 +0000 Carol Hobbs Gilliotti [Visitor] c96@http://goballycastle.com/blog/ Mike, my family came to Carbondale, PA abt 1834-36.Name was changed to McDonald. Family left behind was Ann Nolan McDonnell and her young son Alex. Her husband Patrick and another son Francis died before her children (Patrick, Peter and Ellen) left Ireland. They must have lived near the Ocean because my Great Great Grandmother (Ellen McDonnell Quinn) told my great grandmother that she missed the sounds of the Ocean> ]]> http://goballycastle.com/blog/index.php?blog=2&title=american_city_irish_village_connections&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#c96 Sun, 09 May 2010 11:57:46 +0000 Mike of BallyC [Member] c80@http://goballycastle.com/blog/ Carol, We have common Irish county origins. My Irish ancestors started in Sligo and moved to Glencalry, very near to Ballycastle, Mayo, around 1850, one of them, my grandfather, Martin, came to America in 1892, returned to Ireland and married a Mayo woman in 1911, and both came to Baltimore, Maryland in 1912 and stayed. I am particularly interested in your Ballycastle side, as a number of my Irish relatives and friends live there today. When did your Irish ancestors travel to America? http://goballycastle.com/blog/index.php?blog=2&title=american_city_irish_village_connections&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#c80 Sat, 08 May 2010 20:55:49 +0000 Carol Hobbs Gilliotti [Visitor] c79@http://goballycastle.com/blog/ My Irish ancestors (McDonnell/McDonald) came to Carbondale, PA USA from Ballycastle, Mayo County and (Quinn) came from Sligo. I believe they sailed from Killala Bay http://goballycastle.com/blog/index.php?blog=2&title=american_city_irish_village_connections&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#c79 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 09:54:22 +0000 Ralph Smith [Visitor] c66@http://goballycastle.com/blog/ Great post.

So the president probably knows he has Irish roots. http://goballycastle.com/blog/index.php?blog=2&title=president_obama_s_irish_origins_moneygal&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#c44 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:22:22 +0000 Premier Team International [Visitor] c43@http://goballycastle.com/blog/ This blog post was interesting to read, but I'm not sure how I feel about the implications about the Irish heritage...
