can anyone give me advice on how to trace a mrs mcdonald who lived at 13 newcombe avenue dublin in 1955.

can you tell me how to do it brenda bernie

Bernard As Brenda isnt around at the mo - You may have Google on your browser bar - on my pooter it is at the top left hand corner, just under the address bar. If you dont have an obvious Google link on your computer, then open your search button at the very top of your screen and type in Google. It should be the first address that comes up on the hits. When you get into the google site, type the name of the person into the search box and hopefully something will come up. OC

yes please brenda the address i spelt wrong its newcome thanks bernie

no sorry brenda

Hi, I've been looking for the last half hour but unfortunately can't find anything for you as yet. Just didn't want you to feel as though you were being ignored. I agree Brenda, I've found loads of stuff by googling. May have to go soon (oh is tutting), but hopefully some brighter person than me can help, lol. Good luck in your search, and sorry I was no use.

thanks brenda and everyone else i'm just having tea at mo i will try in ten mins thanks

Brenda - where have you manage to find 1901 census for Dublin?

can't find anything brenda.i feel like hitting my head onto a brick wall

Presumably the Irish have Electoral Rolls.............why don't you contact the main library in Dublin, and ask if they hold them? Reg

all i know about her is her name and address brenda don't know if she is still living i do hope so,cause i have alot to thank her for'i discovered today that i was discharged to her from an unmarried mothers home when i were 20 days old. i am thinking of putting some thing in the dublin newspaper bernie

Nice one, Reg! *Why didnt I think of that?* OC

OC Perhaps you haven't had your 'medicine' tonight? lol! Reg

hi brenda i'm 51 on sunday i am in contact with my birth mother ,but she seems to be holding some dark secret,and wont tell me anything.ive rang her today and asked who mrs mcdonald is(in my records it states she is a reative) and she put the phone down on me

Bernard, try finding out the nearest church, I don't know Dublin, or Ireland at all, so don't know if it would be a Catholic or Protestant area. Put the address on Multimap and see if there are any churches nearby. Parish Priests can be very helpful if it is not something confidential you are looking for. So just say you are trying to find an 'old family friend', if the priest prefers not to give you an address, he may agree to pass on a letter. If he is young, or new he may simply ask around locally for you and see if anyone in the area remembers her. Usually people love to help, so good luck. Eileen

Sorry I can't help but wonder if someone on this site can. change the stars for dots. Germaine x http://www*irishgenealogy*net/cp/forum/index*php
