Welcome to CGR (Cleveland Genealogical Research, LLC)

Specializing in genealogical records related to Cleveland, Ohio and Mayo, Ireland.

I am currently working with William Masterson to convert his Newport, Westport, and Ballycroy books into eBooks that will be distributed on CD-Rom or via email in PDF format.  Saving the books in PDF format allows one to search the document, useful for finding townlands or looking for sponsors.  For a list of available publications, click here.

We are also working together on Westport marriage and baptism transcriptions.  The first release will be "Westport Marriages 1823-1850" by William Masterson and then "Westport Marriage & Baptisms 1884-1904" by Bernie McCafferty.  My ultimate goal is to work backwards from the 1901 census with different collections becoming available as they are completed. 

Besides County Mayo transcriptions, we will also be offering Cleveland area Cemetery Collections.  These collections include pictures and inscriptions of all graves and headstones in the cemetery along with local burial records and are available on a standalone CD-ROM.   I am also working on the Cleveland 1890 City Directory and hope to have that available mid-summer.
