"Clare (county, Republic of Ireland), county in western Republic of Ireland, in Munster Province, northwest of the Shannon River. The terrain is hilly, especially in the northern and eastern sections of the county, with extreme elevations reaching about 533 m (about 1749 ft). Slieve Bernagh, a peak in the east central region, is 532 m (1745 ft) above sea level. Numerous lakes and marshes are found in the interior. Along the Shannon River in the south are large areas suitable for cultivation and pasturage. The coast is generally rugged, Liscannor Bay being the only safe anchorage on the Atlantic Ocean. The estuary of the Shannon contains a number of good harbors, notably at Moneypoint Jetty, which is one of the deepest harbors in Europe. Tourism is the major industry in this area, with The Burren, a unique limestone karst region, being the best-known feature. Agricultural activity, mostly small-scale, consists mainly of stock farming. The principal crops are oats and potatoes. The Shannon Industrial Estate, a tax-free zone, is the major industrial center, based around Shannon International Airport. Various modest mineral deposits were formerly worked in the county, and flagstone, slate, and marble are currently quarried.
County Clare has a large number of old castles and abbeys, several ancient towers, and numerous raths (earthworks of ancient Irish chieftains) and cromlechs (circles of standing stones). Ennis is the county town. Other important towns include Shannon, Kilrush, Ennistimon, and Kilkee. Area of county, 3188 sq km (1231 sq mi); population (1991) 90,918."

East County Clare Heritage Company
The East Clare Heritage Company is a totally voluntary and community based Company dedicated to giving a future to our past. The Company was formed in 1989 and within three years a 10th century church at Tuamgraney, County Clare was re-furbished for use as a Heritage Center. They publish an annual Historical and genealogical Journal called Sliabh Aughty and have also published histories of Scariff Tuamgraney and Mountshannon and are presently publishing a History of the O'Gray Clan.
The General Record Office
The General Register Office (Oifig An Ard-Chláraitheora) is the central repository for records relating to Births, Deaths and Marriages in the Republic of Ireland. It is concerned with civil registration matters only, and does not engage in genealogical research. Records of marriages other than Roman Catholic marriages date back to 1st April 1845.

Irish emigrants who landed, passed through and/or settled in New York State
helped shape and influence both New York State and New York City to become the great state
and city they are today. Join a list dedicated to the NY Irish where not only is genealogy discussed and shared but the impact of the Irish on the history and culture of the city and the
state are also important topics. Music, history, culture, recipes, research techniques
and available resources are just a few of the many topics discussed on the list
NY-Irish Mailing List
The Irish American Mailing List is for anyone who has an interest in the Genealogy, History, Culture or anything related to the Irish immigration to the United States. If your ancestor(s) lived or even just passed through America, they have a special type of culture. The fun part of the list is figuring our what part or our traditions originated in Ireland or originated in the USA. Because of the many different immigrants all living in poor neighborhoods when they first came over, many of our traditions are a result of the many nationalities living together. This list will be a place where we discuss those traditions that include holidays, recipes, music, weddings, births, funerals/wakes, etc. Hopefully, in our discourse we will find not only genealogical connections, directions and resources but also where our family traditions started and which are pure Irish, which are Irish American or which are the result of that wonderful melting pot, the United States of America.
Irish-American Mailing List
