Hi -
I'm looking for my Great Grandfather (6x) Owen Madden. I found records of an Owen Madden in your parish. OWENMADDEN was born Before. 1750 in Ireland. I don't know exactly when he immigrated to NewYork but he married LYDIA TERWILLIGER April 29, 1774 in Shawangunk, Ulster Co., N. Y., USA.
Can you help me with finding Owen Madden?
Thanks,

Kristine:
RC Church records for Baslick parish do not start until the 1860s. In fact the earliest parish (Athlone) in Co. Roscommon starts in 1789.
What records do you have for Owen?
