FYI
I am developing a website (County Mayo Beginnings)
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlmayo2/ in which I have included a section on South
Bend, Indiana that takes a closer look at the South Bend Irish Community from 1850-1900.
I am trying to identify the Irish families in the St Joseph County Census records, St
Joseph's Church and Sacred Heart Church Records. The early Sacred Heart Church
records have baptisms recorded by the missionary priests based in the area before Father
Sorin and the Holy Cross Priests arrived at Notre Dame. These records cover a large area
from Michigan City to Kalamazoo to Goshen, I am trying to include the Irish Families in
these as well. My site is new, early in its development, but as I continue to add
records, if anyone recognizes a family member please feel free to contact me and I would
be happy to share what I have.
