Bridget Finneran was my 2nd great-grandmother. According to information from Catholic registers, she was baptized on 21 May 1823 • Roman Catholic Diocese Elphin, Killucan, County Roscommon, Ireland. That is literally all the personal information I have except for the names, birthdates, and birth locations of her children. Bridget was married to Thomas Noble who was born in County Down, Roman Catholic Parish, Drumballyroney, Townland, Imdel. They emigrated to America about 1850. She died in the United States of America, probably in the state of Pennsylvania, sometime after 1900.

    May Day traditions across Ireland

    <p>Lá Bealtaine (May Day) officially heralds the beginning of the summer in Ireland. The name is said to derive from Old Irish, meaning "bright fire" (Belenus was the Celtic sun and 'healer god'). Old traditions involved lighting bonfires at sunset on Oíche Bealtaine (or May Eve - April 30) on prominent local landmarks. The Hill of Uisneach in Co. Westmeath is the most famous example. These and other rituals (such as creating a May altar) still survive, particularly in the west of Ireland. Our 19th-century ancestral piseóga (superstitions) were recorded diligently by Irish schoolchildren in the 1930s ...</p>
