Searching for informatiion on the Rall family which is probably a misspelling of the surname as I find none in Westmeath. I know James Rall b 1815 arrived in the Unnited States 1839. From his US marriage record I know his parents were Thomas Rall (? sp) and Catherine Burns and that he came from Westmeath. Would greatly appreciate help on determining any information on this family.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched for a baptismal record for James and did not find a record for him or any child of Thomas and Catherine. The surnames that came up on the search were Rail, Rawley, Rahally and Raleigh. I assume your ancestors were Roman Catholic. many of the RC parishes in Co. Westmeath do not have records back to 1815.
