County Carlow Archives
from the Pat Purcell Papers

Pat Purcell was born in 1895 and for most of his long life was a collector and hoarder of things historical.

When the Carlow Museum was open in the 1970s Pat gave many artifacts for exhibition in the museum.

Interested in genealogy from a young age, he assisted people from all over the world in tracing their Irish ancestry. By the time of his death in 1994 Pat had accumulated hundreds of genealogies relating to many families especially those from County Carlow. Upon his death, Pat’s collection (now known as “The Pat Purcell Papers”) passed to Pat’s nephew, local historian Michael Purcell. Among the archives was a wealth of information on various Cummins families from Carlow. In 2004 Michael spotted our Carlow Cummins Family History site on the internet. He contacted Susan Clement, as the administrator of the site, and offered to pass on to us the material on the Cummins families from the Pat Purcell Papers to share with the rest of the Cummins world. 

Michael himself has retired from genealogical research after nearly 40 years involvement. It is remarkable that neither uncle or nephew ever actually charged a fee for their time in carrying out researches but were involved simply as a hobby giving assistance whenever and wherever they could.

In 1980 both of them, along with a few other people, founded Carlow County Heritage Society and produced several publications of the journal "Carlow Past and Present."

We are pleased to be able to publish these archival materials from the Pat Purcell Papers here on the Carlow Cummins site, for all Cummins family researchers to access. We are starting with an annotated index and will be posting more of these documents on a regular basis, as we get them transcribed.
