I’m glad you were able to use them as evidence to support your theory.

There’s always a warm place in my heart for a man with a dog. <br /><br />I’m also a big fan of the dog license registers; they are a wonderful source for finding family members. My search in the registers has softened my view toward some ancestors. Also, a find in the registers confirmed for me what I’d found in another source, that my maternal great-grandfather remained at Warblestown after the deaths of his parents. I find it especially interesting to see ancestors who had the same, or similar, breeds of dogs as those our family members have today.Éire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900963722618733171.post-77014838751043795222014-12-20T18:02:00.652+00:002014-12-20T18:02:00.652+00:00Thank you, Diane.

Unfortunately for our research, Byrne was the most common surname in some counties on the east coast of Ireland -Wicklow, Dublin, etc., so much so, it makes Smith seem easy.

She was listed as the mother on my 3rd great grandmother's death certificate. And the father's name was Jacob Cooper. I have absolutely no information on them. According to the death cert their daughter was born in Cato, Cayuga, NY in Feb 1815. I have other brick wall direct line ancestors too. Lots of Scottish, Irish and English bloodlines and my DNA has confirmed it. WOOHOO! I enjoy reading your blog.

Supposedly, he had some success too, most especially with a dog named ‘Black Raven’.

It's not just an unusual database, but it also reveals something of the personality of your ancestor. Do you know whether your great-grandfather used the dogs for racing?Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
