| Message (#51): | Hello. I have just discovered your impressive website and am wondering if my husband Paddy's ancestors are part of your family tree. His g. grandfather Timothy Cotter travelled to New Zealand in 1878 with mother Ellen (born about 1835, died 1913,nee Sullivan, first husband Jeremiah), stepfather Denis McGrath, younger sister Julia, older brother Jeremiah and three half siblings. Timothy was the third child (an older sister Johannah didn't come to New Zealand) of Jeremiah and Ellen Cotter who lived near Bantry in a house called Seskin. Jeremiah was born about 1824 - 1825 and died 28 September 1865 in Bantry. He and Ellen were married at Gortnascreeny, Caheragh on 24 February 1857. I have tried to find some link in your family tree but the Jeremiahs of a similar age don't seem to tally with our Jeremiah. If anyone is able to provide any information I would be most grateful. |

| Message (#46): | Hello,
I found this website when researching my own family tree. I am a direct descendent of Julia Cotter and Daniel Riordan. I noticed that the lineage isn't complete for their son, Timothy, and I wanted to write in about it... Their son, Tim Riordan, married Julia Sullivan. They had 8 children: Andrew, Eugene, Johanna, Julia, Daniel, Mary, John and Timothy (Timothy is my direct line). Timothy Riordan married Mary Wallace - they had 4 children: Kathleen, Julia, Timothy and Wallace (Wallace is my direct line). Wallace Riordan married Carolyn Howard (my grandparents) - they had 5 children: Wallace, Richard, Stephen, Carolyn and Terence. Wallace Riordan, Jr. is my father.
I hope that someone will be able to update the website accordingly. I was hoping to discover some information on Julia Cotter and Dan Riordan -- if anyone has any stories, info to share, I would appreciate it greatly.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions about the above or for information sharing. I reside in the US.
Hope to hear from someone with some ties to this branch of the family!
Anne (Riordan) Britt |

| Message (#44): | I have just visited your Cotter website and thought it was amazing. I have also sent you an email but thought this may be the best way to contact you. My mother was a Cotter, unfortunately she died about 14 years ago and I have just retired and thought I would attempt the family tree for my family. Unfortunately I have become stuck. My mother was Rose Esther Cotter born in 1912 in Plaistow, London but she mentioned that her ancesters came from Cork in Ireland. She had a sister and 3 brothers, all now passed away.
My mother's father was Thomas Cotter born around 1879 in Cork, married to a Mary A Butcher on 16 June 1907 and died in Flanders, France in 1917. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission gave me the information of where he died but unfortunately they did not have the names of next of kin. I found Thomas' marriage certficate in my mothers papers and it appears his profession was a carman. His father was named William and his profession was ship carpenter. On the Family Search website I did find I think his mother Mary Hoare, but I cannot seem to find any other information.
Can you please advise which site is the best to location Irish ancestry as you have been so successful with your findings.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time. |

| Message (#39): | I am particularly interested in tracing any of the descendants of Tim (Thade) Cotter (born 1844, in Kilmichael, Co. Cork, Ireland), and his wife Mary Anne Cotter (nee Murphy) (born 1847 in Kilmichael),or any of their 6 children, William, born 1869, Ellen, born 1872, Sylvester and John, born 1873, Jeremiah, born 1875, or Tim, born 187. This whole family emigrated together on the Orezala, to Australia, arriving there on 14th September 1888. If you are one of their descendants, or know of any such descendants, please contact me, either on this Message Board, or by email. |

| Message (#38): | REF: Shaun Conaty posting of Sunday, June 20, 2010
Hello Shaun. I am a descendent in the family of the Patrick Herrick whom you appear to be referencing on the posting I discovered today online.
This Patrick is a brother of my great grandfather's brother (my great uncle). He married Catherine Cotter* in 1859. *[B: 1841, Ireland & D: 20 Feb 1889, Newport, Sullivan, NH]. While I have not studied the Cotter line a great deal I have discovered whom I tentatively believe to be Catherine's father/mother [James Cotter 1783 - 1850 & Ellen Flynn 1790 - 1850] and her grandfather/mother [George S Cotter 1755 - 1831 & Margaret Roders, 1754 - 1832]
I am excited to find your posting as I know that the brothers returned to Ireland to try and find their father's grave but did not find it. As I recall, they did find other relatives and placed a monument. This must be it. I believe I have a historical description of that visit in some documents which I may (don't recall) have posted on Ancestry.
Your posting has gotten me a lot closer to home. I hope you find this information helpful too.
If you are on Ancestry.com you can see my Herrick Family Tree which is public |

| Message (#37): | Hello. I came across your site while researching my own Cotter ancestors, who were both women. Your locations included Deshure, which is where which is where Honora 'Ann' Cotter married Tadhg [Thade] Murphy 6 Mar 1859. I have not found her family. Also Mary Cotter who married 'Old Sean' [John in records] Black Murphy before 1823; he was a resident of Deshure and Dromleigh in Kilmichael at the time; a large land owner, but no info on her family either. Is it possible either one of them belongs to your family of Cotters?
Thank you for sharing your Cotters online. |

| Message (#36): | Hi
Im writing from Australia. We came across a very old piece of paper that states that great great grandparents died in New York in 1875-9. Names were Catherine Cotter and another name that looks like Connie Cotter. We dont know where the family originated from...we always believed Wales but more likely Ireland. The family came to Australia to South Australia. We cannot find them on any shipping lists. Anyone with info with New York would you let me know?
Cheers |

| Message (#35): | Hello All, Ive just started looking into the Family tree and was delighted to find your website. The members so far is sylvester-jeremiah-john-michael-my great grand mother Margaret Cotter-kenneally. The information we have is tat Jeremiah married Narry Swiney and in 1817 they had John Cotter, who married Margaret Riordan in 1841. They had a son Michael in about 1842. The left for the US around 1845 and settled in Boston. Michael cotter faught in the US Civil war in two regiments 9th Regimane Massachusetts Infantry Company G and 12th Regiment Massachussets Infantry company K. He married Hanora Kenneally and they had a number of childen but the only one who survived an epidemic was my great grandmother Margaret (maggie)(Date of birth 13 Jan 1870). Michael, Hanora and Maggie left the US and returned to Ireland sometime between 1875 and 1879. I have hit a wall as I cant get any records of Margaret in the US. The only records that are turning up are US Civil War records for Michael. If anyone has any information, I would be delighted to hear from you! Thank you, Irene |

| Message (#32): | (Sylvia Cotter > Anthony Yudice > Me). I am studying abroad at University of College Cork from January to May of next year. I chose Ireland mostly to see where my family descends from, and I would be very interested in meeting some distant relatives who live in Ireland. I would also love to see landmarks in Inchigeela that relate to the cotters. If anybody has any cool information, or lives in Ireland and would like to meet up, please send me an e-mail. I would love to hear from you. |
