- s taken at the NYC Irish Consulate on Park Avenue. I'm holding a book published in honor of the 250th marching of the St. Patricks Day Parade up 5th Avenue. I belong to a number of Irish related organisations which are always having one event or another many at the consulate or Consul General Noel Kilkennys home which has stunning views of most of NY from the 52nd floor wrap around terrace. Due these functions I have been fortunate to meet many interesting people including the current Taoiseach Enda Kenny and sticking to the genealogy theme President Obama's 8th cousin who is now involved with a free family search vehicle called Ireland xo I think it may be sponsored by the Irish government. Anyway, hope all is well nice to chat. Best, Tom. …

- Comment on: Topic 'Where Do I Start Researching Our Irish Ancestry?'
- ying sites are largely for the gullible or the lazy. The real buzz and a classical introduction to local histories is in doing ones own research and getting incredible satisfaction from the hits of finding a long lost relative or breaking down a wall of ignorance. Aside from being blessed being connected to Kerry you are doubly so from a genealogical perspective. Today you can freely search Irish Genealogy.ie (Another is Irish Genealogy Church Records..which is the same thing) which is through the government site and through thr National Archives Bishop Street Dublin. This online site chronicles all Roman Catholic and COI from 1900 back to 1700 and the names run in a kind of cluster making it relatively easy with a little intuition or attention to the detail of the parents for the marriage and birth records. Other counties included in these records for this site include Cork, Dublin and Carlow. The government ran out of money after the collapse of the Celtic Tiger and had to shelve plans to record all county records. I have a relative through marriage named Costelloe from Tralee. Ironically Kerry and Cork had the worst publicly available records, attributed to hoarding and unfairly blaming the clergy for the non availability of Marriage and Births. It was the genealogists who were more to blame than anyone or anything else. So the Ministers of the different political parties responded to public pressure and released these records through the co ordination of the National Archives for the information of the Irish public and its diaspora. A good tip is to familiarize ones self with the Irish custom of naming the first born son after the paternal grandfather the second born son after the maternal grandfather and the third born son after the father. The same pattern for girls i.e. first daughter after paternal grandfather etc etc. This helps when you are searching family records and the pattern of Christian names becomes familiar.
