Owen CANNON was reportedly born 04 May 1866 in County Armagh. Their
children, Francis and Charles, were born between 1907 - 1914 in Boston,
Massachusetts. Information on his parents is unknown.
I have been unable to locate any records here in the States specifying the
exact place of birth in Armagh. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions as
to how and where I might be able to pinpoint the location of his birth.
Go to <A HREF="www.familysearch.org">www.familysearch.org</A> Click
on Search, then on Research Guidance and
scroll down to Ireland.
It gives you strategies for the time period and type of record you are
searching. For instance, the birth records are Ireland for that time period are
indexed nationally and those indexes are available on microfilm through the LDS
branch libraries.
Many people use this website not knowing what great research tutelage there
is.
