aon deag An Meitheamh, De' h-Aoine( 11 June, Friday) or in Welsh, un ar ddeg Mehefin, Dydd Gwener In 1534, Lord Thomas "Silken" Fitzgerald, son of Gerald the 8th Earl of Kildare (Gerail Mor) entered Dublin to attempt an overthrow of the English. He had many victories but ultimately lost and was hanged in the Tower of London in 1537. The Geraldines (Fitzgeralds) then suffered mightily for three years. In 1862 Martin Ross ( Violet Florence Martin), Irish novelist in collaboration with Edith O. Somerville, was born. In 1902 James James, composer of the Welsh national anthem died. In 1990 Seosamh Mac Grianna, Irish language author, died. Submitted by John Laughland at [email protected]
deich An Meitheamh, Daerdaoin ( 10 June, Thursday), or in Manx, jeih Mean Souree, Jerdain In 1549 the Prayer Book Rebellion led by Henry Arundell broke out in Cornwall against the religious edicts of King Henry VIII of England. Manx Gaelic is similiar to Irish in pronunciation but not necessarily in spelling. Take the word for "ten". In Irsih it is spelled "deich" and pronounced "Jeh". In Manx it is spelled "jeih" and pronounced "jeh". In Irish and Scottish the letter "d" depending on what vowels it is combined with, gets a "j" sound. Other times it gets a "d" sound.

naoi An Meatheamh, De' Ceadaoin ( 9 June, Wednesday), or in Scottish, naoi an t-Og-mhios In 597 Colum Cille, Irish monk and bard, who is honored in all the celtic lands, died. You probably are more familiar with the name Saint Columba. He was a cousin of Niall of the Nine Hostages. He was born in 521 at Gartan in Donegal. He is one of the twelve apostles of Eirann. Colum Cille was banished from his beloved Ireland being blamed for the great battle of Cuildremne in Sligo. He settled in Iona where his kinsman King Conel was. From there he took the Gospel to the Picts, the Brits and the Saxons. In 1981 William MacTaggart, Scottish landscape painter, died. This has nothing to do with celtica, but are there any Mel Torme fans out there? I had a chance to see him before his stroke and missed it. I am not a groupie type but his death has given me some sadness. His version of Little Man You've Had a Busy Day will touch anyone with a deep memory of their little ones. Mel had five children and you can tell in his singing how much he loved them. Sorry to get sentimental, but some people are worth it, I think mel was one of those people. Submitted by John Laughland
I saw the following list of sites on another Mailing List. Many you all may be familiar with, but some should be helpful additions to your Genealogy links. If some of these don't work, please don't write me because I won't be able to help you, since all I did was copy and paste. Of course, if you send it to the list someone other than me may be more knowledgeable about the link. Happy hunting.

ocht An Meitheamh, De' Mairt,( 8 June, Tuesday), or in Breton, eizh Mezheven, Dimeurzh In 1287 the Revolt of Rhys ap Meredudd, Wales began. In 1333 Edward III of England ordered the seizure of the Isle of Mann from the Scots. More on Midsummers Eve courtesy of a niece of mine. This feast also is known as St. John's Eve, the 24th being the feast of St. John the Baptist. Bonfires are part of this celebration. In Medieval times the people used the fires to ward of evil spirits and some jumped through them for good luck. Others would roam from fire to fire in garland -bedecked bands. Many people stayed up all night. Of course being in a rather northern clime the sun rose early. Next to Halloween this was the second most important night for the wee people. To see the wee people one was supposed to gather fern seed and at the stroke of midnight, rub it in your eyelids. But just to be save one should carry a little rue in one's pocket ( I know where there is a patch if it up on the Blue Ridge Mountain in West Virginia). Decorating the front door with birch, fennel, St. Johns wort, orpin or lilies was a custom also.( I have some wild St. John's wort in the garden). In Irish legend Midsummer was the when the first battle between the Fir Bolgs and the Tuatha De Danaan. The thing I like about these old semi forgotten events is that Hallmark doesn't sell cards for them and the folks down at the Mall don't have any sales to commemorate them. What a relief!! As for me I just like to stand by the dying embers of the bonfire with a cold beer looking up the summer constellations.
seacht An Meitheamh, De' Luan ( 7 June, Monday), or in Cornish seyth Metheven, De Lun In 1329 Robert the Bruce of Scotland died. Robert thought himself to be a leper. He thought the finger of God was upon him for his murder of Red Comyn. This dread was kept a secret, because under Church rules of the tome one could be proclaimed dead and one's wife could remarry, nor could he have held public office. However, it is probable that he merely had dermatitus. He was 55 year old when he died at Cardross with his trusted friends around him. Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, was appointed to look after Dacid , Bruce's 5 yeaold son. He entrusted to Angus Og, the Lord of the lsles with the true Stone of Destiny and keep inthe Hebrides until it was safe to return it to Scone. He ordered the Good Sit James Douglas the cut the heart out of his bidy when he died and to take in on crusades against the Infidel. Bruce had vowed to God that if zgod gave him his kingdom he would go on a crusade. These facts are taken from The Story of Scotland by Nigel Tranter. Pronouncing guide:
se' An Meitheamh, De' Domhnaigh (6 June, Sunday), or in Welsh, chwech Mehefin, Dydd Sul In 1873 William Siims, a founder and secretary of the Unitd Irishman was born. The United Irishman apparently was a coalition of the factions in Irish history -- in todays terms , the Protestants and the Cotholics-- trying to get more even handed treatment of all Irish by the English. It's a lot more complicated than that. More later. In 1821 F. an Uhel, Breton writer and ethnologist was born. If you like novels and are interested in the Ireland of 1916, a cousin of mine recommends, 1916 by Morgan LLewelyn.
You can tell it is Saturday because I am sending a lot of email. Here is something interesting from the newest Rootsweb Review: SEARCH THE ROOTSWEB SURNAME LIST (RSL) BY E-MAIL. Want to search the RSL's more than 600,000 surnames submitted by more than 100,000 researchers, but you don't have Web access and so you can not go to <http://rsl.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/rslsql.cgi>? Now you do not need Web access. Just write an e-mail with the surnames you are researching in the body of the message, one surname per line, and send it to <[email protected]>.
I saw this on another list and thought it was valuable to pass on: Just a quick note to let everyone know about the new Surname Resource pages at RootsWeb. The page that will lead you to each surname is at: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/ Check it out :) The pages contain lots of valuable links for each surname. Pat
Starting today, I have permission from John to copy and paste the Celtic Calendar he sends to the O'Connor list everyday. If anyone has a problem with this, write to me, not to John. cuig An Meitheamh, De' Sathairn,( 5 June,Saturday), or in Manx, queig Mean Souree, Jesarn In 1723 Adam Smith , Scottish author of The Wealth of Nations was born. In 1819 John Conch Adams, Cornish astronomer and discoverer of the planet Neptune, was born.(Speaking of which, I have spent so many evenings in my basement office lately that I have lost track of the planets. Is that Mars or Saturn that is now sitting next to Spica in the constellation Virgo? It looks reddish so it may be Mars.) In 1868 James Connolly, Irish revolutionary hero was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was a founder of the Socialist Republican Party (1898)and was one of seven signers of the Poblecht n hEirean ( Proclamation of the Irish Republic) in 1916. "Irishmen and Irishwomen!

Hi list members, I have not posted to the list in quite some time. I thought I would post the URL to my home page which has some of our sir names on it. There is also some family information on our Turner lineage. Would enjoy your correspondence if you think there might be some connection. http://www.zoomnet.net/~wwturner/
I am searching for Boyles in Donegal , Ireland,New York City, Philadelphia and Boston who may be related to John J. Boyle, pioneer American sculptor. The following is his obituary from the New York Times, Feb. 11, 1917. "John J. Boyle, a pioneer among American Sculptors died at his home at 231 West Sixty-Ninth Street, yesterday morning at the age of 66 years, as the result of an attack of pneumonia. He first attracted attention by an Indian group in 1884 which was placed in Lincoln Park, Chicago. The Stone Age, another group, was executed two years after - It was placed in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. His production was continuous from that time, among the better-known examples being the Bacon and Plato in the rotunda of the Congressional Library and the Benjamin Franklin in front of the Philadelphia Post Office. His last important work was a bronze of Commodore John Barry, done for the United States Government and unveiled in Washington on May 17, l914. Mr. Boyle was born in New York City and was educated in public and privaate schools.(Note: the schools were in Philadelphia). He received his professional training in the Franklin Institute and Aacadmy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia and the Ecole de Beau Arts in Paris. He married in Philadelphia in 1882, Elizbeth Carroll who survives him. He was appointed a member of the Arts Commission of Greater New York in 1916. He was a member of the National Sculpture Society, the Archectural League of New York. the T-Square Club of Philadelphi, The National Arts Club and an associate of the National Academy. The funeral will take place at 8.45 o'clock this morning at the church of the Blessed Sacrament, Seventy-first Street and Broadway. Interment will be at Bay Shore, Long Island. John, who was born January 12, 1851 in New York City to Samuel Boyle and Catherine McAuley.Boyle The latter apparently arrived in New York City aboard the Ship Vanguard on 24 August 1850 from Liverpool, England along with a Neil and Ann Boyle. I assume Samuel and Catherine joined family members in NYC in an Irish commumity as would be customary with immigrants. John's biography indicates the Boyles were from North Ireland (possibly Donegal) and were from a long line of stone masons. He also states that Samuel and family left New York for Philadelphia in 185l to "join two of his brothers". I have yet to identify the two brothers but the quote appears to indicate the existance of ther family members, some of whom could have been in New York City in 1850. A recent family source also indicates possible relatives in Boston. If you think you may be related to John J. Boyle, I will be happy to hear from you. Jack Mellon [email protected]
This was recently sent to me and I want you all to know about this new exciting tool made possible by Rootsweb: Hi, listowners -- This is an early announcement of an upcoming service that's likely to be of interest to our listowners. One of the requests we get most often from RootsWebbers is for better navigation tools. RootsWeb provides a dizzying assortment of surname-oriented research resources, so much that it can be overwhelming to even the experienced user. Folks are constantly asking us if there's some way to unify the Websites, mailing lists, RSL entries, and GenConnect boards together in a single resource. We're extremely proud to let you know that now they can. We've created 5,000 new "Surname Resources," a new way to navigate RootsWeb's surname offerings. These are *not* yet public -- We'll be announcing them in the 26 May edition of the RootsWeb Review -- but we wanted to give our list and GenConnect board administrators a first chance to look at the new Resources. What *is* a Surname Resource? Although these new resources are still under construction, they are operational. Stop by http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/ and feel free to explore. These Surname Resources cover the 5,000 most common surnames from the RootsWeb Surname List. Many of them are completely new -- we created more than 3,000 new mailing lists just for this project. (We may even do the next 5,000-15,000 most common surnames!) The new lists and GC Boards are presently administered by a few (extremely busy!) RootsWeb staff members, but eventually we'll take volunteers to adopt them. We're still working out the details, but we will definitely give preference to folks who already administer existing mailing lists and surname boards for the same names. When we're ready to take that step, we'll announce it here. So look around, have fun, and let us know what you think! -- Regards, Tim Pierce RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative system obfuscator and hack-of-all-trades
Hi all, I came back to over 1000 messages after being gone for five days! But, got the last one graduated from college and pretty happy. Here's one message, I would like to pass on: Hi everyone, I have just started a mail list for everyone who wants to find help in getting photos of their families headstones. To subscribe to the list simple send a message to [email protected] with the word subscribe and you will be added to the list. You don't have to be a professional photographer just someone who has a camera and would not mind taking pictures for other people who can't make it to your area of the world and vice versa. I hope a lot of you will give it this list a try and I hope that you will be able to find someone to help you. The larger the list gets the better chance you will have of finding someone to help you. Thank you for reading this message.

Hi all, I just wanted to inform all of you that I will be out of town until next Monday. So if you write to me or have asked for a GV lookup, it will take a while before I can answer. If anyone is having trouble unsubscribing, I suggest you read your welcome notice, it has all the instructions or you will have to wait until I get back. I am not unsubbing so will have lots of mail waiting when I get back. Pat Connors, Listowner
The Boyle archives can be found at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl If you look at the bottom of any message posted to the BOYLE mailing list, you will find this address handy.
I've just done another 30 GV lookups and want to warn you that if you request one after tomorrow it will take two weeks because I will be out of town next weekend. We currently have 130 members to the list. If any are new and don't know what GV is, I suggest you read the BOYLE list archives. Also, if you put in a location within a county, put only Civil Parishes. If you don't know, just give me the county. I need help. I will be out of town (NY and Ireland) for the months of July and August and need someone to take over my listowner duties. The way I do it, it really requires little work. Please email me if you are interested. Hope you all have a great weekend. Slan go foill, Pat
