Parish unknown, 29 years of searching

Hello Ed,

Have you tried www.rootsireland.ie.  this contains most of the church records for the country.  www.irishgenealogy.ie contains much of the other counties.

After searching for 29 years, it begs the question about your dates.  Most people when they emigrated were uneducated, undocumented and had never seen their name written down anywhere.  At port of arrival their names were written phonetically and their ages were only guessed.

Many people have made the mistake of going by dates on a tombstone and taking them as gospel.  On most occasions I have found that these dates are only a guideline.

I looked briefly for a marriage record for MIchael Cullen and Mary Jennings, but couldn't find one.  Have you tried different variations of the name?  I found many Cullens in Co. Kilkenny.

The name Jennings is not common, have you looked at the records for norther Ireland.  What information have you got that Galway is the county to be searched?

I'm just playing the devil's advocate here and trying to open up other possibilities.

Hope this may help in some way,

Regards,

Anne
