My sister and i have been trying to get a complete family tree, but keep running into roadblocks in that we cannot bridge a gap in the mid 1800's to 1900. Seems lots of records were lost in a major Dublin fire. Can you help?<br /><br />contact: mainder01@Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243571335120465594.post-13005148362308714122018-06-23T22:50:32.364+01:002018-06-23T22:50:32.364+01:00Hi everyone,

I'm a researcher working on movie distribution and theater companies in the 1940s and 50s; if anyone remembers information about the prices at different Comerford theaters, or has any documents related to the Comerford Theater Co, I would love to talk! <br /><br />Thanks nathaniellacellepetersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537303595331289644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243571335120465594.post-77921052618842604702018-02-11T19:00:01.659+00:002018-02-11T19:00:01.659+00:00My great great grand parents were John and Catheri...My great great grand parents were John and Catherine Comerford.
