Descendants of James Coffey
1 James Coffey 1799 - b: 1799
.... 2 Mary Ann Coffey 1820 - 1885 b: April 09, 1820 d: Bet. 1885 - 1891
......... +Henry Sellars 1816 - 1895 b: April 26, 1816 in Pulaski Co.,
Kentucky d: 1895
This is all I have, courthouses have burnt and can not find anything on
Mary Ann. It is speculation that James is her father, one thing he is in the
area,
Her second son is named James, the first is after her husbands' father, so
that is another guess.

I am looking for information that might help me with my Mary Ann Coffey,
James Coffey may be her father. They are in the Whitley co. area of KY and

Dear Coffey Cousins,
I would like to tell you a little about Clan Cian [KEY-un]
but for more details visit the clan website at:
http://www.clancian-carroll.com/
It is an Irish clan of which our Coffey or O'Coffey ancestors
belonged under the Euginian sept. It's chief, the O'Carroll, ruled
the Southern half of Ireland. I'll have to get on the chief for
not having our name on the website surname list. Respectfully
that is. :)
Since 1983, Eile F.J. O'Carroll, has become the recognized
Chief of Name, and is a member on the Standing Council of Irish
Chiefs and Chieftains.
The Chief resides in CA and recently had his arms matriculated
by the Lord Lyon of Scotland.
Clan Cian hosts tents at many Celtic festivals and Scottish games.
The president of the House of Boyd Society, Lauren Boyd [Geary
connection] and myself have been life members for several years.
We have met the O'Carroll on numerous occasions over
that period of time at the games here in CA. We have also had the
honor of being the Chief's invited guests at the Clan Cian Annual
General Meeting for last year and the one coming up this year.
The Chief is a very likable person and it is easy to forget that he
wears the feathers in his bonnet. Unless, of course, he is wearing
his bonnet. :)
It is human nature to desire to belong. We need to belong. Clan Cian
fills that need in our Irish souls.
By the way there is some great Irish history on the clan Cian website.
Seabhach Abu,
Cal

The National Archives will release the 1930 Federal population census for
the first time on April 1.
The microfilmed copies will be opened for research at the National
Archives Building in Washington, DC, at 13 of the National Archives
regional facilities across the nation and through the National Archives
rental program. For a complete listing of National Archives regional
locations and opening times, check the Web site at
http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/genindex.html.
The 1930 census consists of 2,667 rolls of population schedules and 1,587
rolls of Soundex indexes for 12 southern states, totaling 4,254 rolls.
Even though the statistical summaries collected by enumerators are made
public shortly after the census is taken, information on individuals and
families is restricted by law (for privacy reasons) for 72 years. The
National Archives will make available research guides and geographic
finding aids to help researchers locate families not listed in the
Soundex. Knowing the exact spelling of the last name and the state and
county where the family lived in 1930 will help. For more information on
the 1930 census, see http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/1930cen.html/.

Saw posting to Coffey list at Rootsweb. I too have a Marvel who married and
had a daughter named Mahala. Am willing to share info if this is same and
you are willing to share info. I have:
Marvel Coffey (abt. 1841 - 1917) m. Elizabeth Abigail JORDAN (abt.
1842-1936). Children: Mary J. (abt. 1861); William; Mahala (abt. 1867);

Hi,
I am looking for descendants of James Elbert Coffey and Francis Ellen Crow.
Their children are listed in my information as Lawrence, Jim, Dave and Oley.
Francis Ellen (Aunt Ellen) was my mother's great aunt. Ellen was sister to my
ggrandfather Winston Ransome Crow
I have original letters and other information from research into the Coffey
line that would be of interest to the genealogist in that family. I would
also be interested in any information they might have of the Crow family.
Thank you,
Cathy Sloan

Dear Coffey Cousins,
This was an ANNOUNCEMENT not an advertisement.
Census records are a vital tool in the genealogists bag of
tricks. Census records are made public every ten years
and no sooner does one come out that we aren't eagerly
waiting for the next one.

The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy
Newsletter and is copyright 2002 by Richard W. Eastman. It is
re-published here with the permission of the author.
- U.S. 1930 Census Records To Be Released
The United States government conducts a census every ten years, in
the years ending with a zero (1910, 1920, etc.). These census
records contain a wealth of information for genealogists. The
exact information obtained varies from one census to the next but
generally contains each person's name, residence, age, place of
birth, immediate family members residing in the same household,
and more. The government keeps these records confidential for
seventy-two years to protect the privacy of those listed. The 1930
U.S. Census records are due to be released this year.
The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration has
announced that it will release the 1930 Federal population census
for the first time on April 1, 2002. At that time, the microfilmed
copies will be opened for research at the National Archives
Building in Washington, DC, at 13 of the National Archives
regional facilities across the nation, and through the National
Archives rental program.
The 1930 census is the 15th Federal census mandated by the U.S.
Constitution, which states, "The actual Enumeration shall be made
within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the
United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in
such Manner as they shall by Law direct. . . ".
As one would expect, the number of records in the 1930 census is
much larger than any previous census. All of the returns for the
first U.S. census conducted in 1790 fit onto 12 rolls of
microfilm. The country continued to grow so that the 1920 census
consists of 2,076 rolls of film. The 1930 census consists of 2,667
rolls of population schedules and 1,587 rolls of Soundex indexes
for 12 southern states, totaling 4,254 rolls. The other states,
however, do not have Soundex indexes.
The 1930 census provides a wealth of socio-economic information,
such as the following: names of all persons living in each home;
relationship of each person to the head of household; whether the
home is owned or rented; value of the home; if the family owns a
radio; if they own a farm; whether they attended school or
college; if they can read or write; place of birth; citizenship
status; and occupation.
These census records should be available within a few days after
April 1, 2002 via the National Archives' Rental Program. In
addition, commercial companies will also have rolls of microfilm
available for sale or for rent. I suspect that CD-ROM and possible
online availability will occur some later time after April 1,
2002.

Looking for information on the above they were my grgrandparents. It is my

America about 1870???? Believe to have married in New York and lived and had
their family in Woodbridge NJ. Any information would be appreciated. Thank
you.

Jim, I'm not sure about those Coffeys buried at St. Mary's. My great
great grandmother's obit stated that she was being buried at St. Mary's
and that three of her children were already buried there. But I have
learned from relatives, that she was later moved to the family plot at
St. Joseph's. The Catherine buried there is possible a relative because
a daughter, Catherine was buried there. (She had married a Dennis
McGrath, before her death). Would they have moved all the relatives
buried there when they moved Mary?
I have an obit on a Jerry (Jeremiah) Coffey , who died after being hit
by a train in Galeburg, but that was in 1909 and Mary Sullivan Coffey
died in 1887. The children who died before Mary are supposedly:
Catherine, John, and Edward. I know Peter Coffey is definitely buried at
St. Joseph's. Thanks.
Verna:
My father in law has been a volunteer caretaker at old St. Mary's Cemetery in
East Galesburg, Il. for about the last 30 or so years. This past summer I
helped him get the records organized (such as they are) and took photos of
all the stones still there (about 90 or so as I recall). St. Mary's is an old
Irish cemetery that was active from about 1860 to 1907.
In the caretakers old hand written book it shows three Coffeys that purchased
lots.
1. Peter Coffee - Lot # 5 - no date given - fee paid
2. Jerry Coffey - Lot # 87 - purchased 2-10-1884
3. Catharine Coffey - Lot # 168 - no date given
There is one Coffey stone still standing - it is 98% unreadable - I think it
probably reads Rose (?) Coffey - date can't be read. I'd be happy to send you
the photo by e-mail if you would like.
Sorry, but that is all the information I have - most stones from the cemetery
have vanished and records are very incomplete.
Good luck in your search - hope you have more luck with your Coffeys than I
have had with mine.
Jim near Chicago
Searching for any information regarding William Coffey, Marietta (Etta)Taylor and their son Chester Martin Coffey. Chester was supposedly born in Galena, Kansas in 1905. His death has been recorded in CA. in 1972. I was successful in getting a copy of Chester's death certificate but unable to locate cemetery of burial.
Is anyone searching this same Coffey family? If you are interested and would be willing to share, I would be most grateful to hear from you.
June Lentz
clentz2(a)nc.rr.com
My grandfather was named James Alton Coffey and he was born on Oct. 10, 1904.
His parents were Cornelius Coffey and Ann Robinson. At the time of his
birth their address was 202 Railroad Avenue, Jersey City. He had two younger
sisters named Jane and Mary.
His father Cornelius Coffey was born in New Jersey in I believe 1885 but I
cannot find a birth record for him.
In 1920 the family moved to West New York and the parents eventually
seperated. Cornelius supposedly started another family, possibly in the
Washington, D.C. area.
I have a Social Sercurity application for a Cornelius Patrick Coffey born in
New York City in 1886 to a Patrick Coffey and Mary Cahill.
I also ha e a birth certificate for a James Coffey born in 1931 to a John
Anthony Coffey and Ellen Coffey of Newark.
I have a petition for Naturalization for a Michael Coffey dated 1864(?)
In a book entitled Second Calvary Cemetery (Queens) there are Coffeys listed
there named, Bridget, Catherine, Ellen, John, Julia and Michael.
Hopefully sooner or later I verify if these Coffeys are part of my family
tree. If anyone would like a copy of any of these documents or a look-up in
the Calvary Book please let me know.
Good Luck to everyone in their search.
Janet
