Looking for Michael Byrne

MayoCastlebar (Mayo)

My grandfather's grandfather was Michael Byrne, born 15 September 1814 in Castlebar, Mayo. He immigrated to what is now Woodslee, Ontario Canada and many of his ancestors live there now. I have their information as many of them were buried in the same cemetery, St.John the Evangelist Parish in Woodslee, Ontario. Is there any way to find records of Michael in Ireland?

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

RC baptismal records for Castlebar do not start until 1838 so no record of his baptism would be available. I assume you don't have records of siblings or parents.

Hi Roger. No I don't have any record of siblings or parents. We just know that he came from Castlebar and his date of birth.

You may want to consider autosomal DNA testing.
