Hello Bill,I have enjoyed perusing your sight and have learned alot, but I have not been able to find one of my ancestors and I hoping that you might be able to help. One of my maternal 2G grandmothers was Hannah Dorgan (b.Cork abt. 1847, d.NYC 1892), who married Edward Barrett in 1869. Their marriage record states that they were married in the RC chapel of New Glanmire in Carrignavar North. She was said to be a servant and living in what looks to be "Ballinsohig" but I cannot find that placename. It lists her father as William with profession farmer. They had a son James in Cork in 1869 and daughter Elizabeth (my great grandmother) in NYC in 1872, so they came to NY somewhere in between.I have researched in all of the usual places and cannot find documentation on either Edward or Hannah prior to their marriage, but I thought you might have come across Hannah and her father William in your research. I would appreciate any information you could pass along.Regards, Patrick O'Neill

This is the town you want: Ballincollig. It's in West County Cork. A lot of Dorgans there and surrounding areas, especially Carrignaver. These are not my Dorgans but I know of them. Do a Google search of Ballincollig and Carrignaver. Bill Dorgan
