I need help tracking down one of the men who was a signer of the "Tenants' Manifesto" in 1872 in Ballycroy, Mayo, Ireland. There was a newspaper article in the Ballina Herald in Oct 1872 that listed more than 40 farmers who were taking a stand against the attempt on the life of John Oram, who was collecting rents on the estate of Mrs. Grant in Ballycroy. One of the signers was named John Conemee (or Conmee) and I would like to find out information, because I think that he is my great-great-grandfather.

James Collins, my 3rd great-grandfather, was born in Ireland on August 12th, 1804. James' death notice says that his parents were Daniel and Margaret Collins. He died in Kroonstad on January 26th, 1872. I want to know when James arrived in South Africa and where specifically in Ireland he came from. Family legend has it that the infamous Michael Collins was related to him. I'm hoping that his arrival into South Africa provides new information.

My 2nd great-great-grandfather, Ernst Otto Stelzner, was born in Döbeln, Germany on April 29th, 1818 in Dobeln. He married Eugenie Emile Hunger in 1846 in the church of St. Nicolas. They then emigrated to the US in March 1846, settling in Ripley Co, Indiana. I want to find more information on my Stelzner family in Döbeln.
