Hello all: I have created a new Ontario Irish Genealogy discussion group at https://groups.io/g/Ontario-Irish-Gen <https://groups.io/g/Ontario-Irish-Gen> You can go to the web page to sign up for the new group, or send a blank email to Ontario-Irish-Gen+subscribe@groups.io <mailto:Ontario-Irish-Gen+subscribe@groups.io> Enjoy!

Hi Michael, I would appreciate it much if you take over the list on groups.io Please announce the new place when it is online, on this list so we can all join. -- Pat Connors http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

%SandraKennedyPenner Just my opinion but a lot of my Kennedy’s are from Ontario and are Irish. So I am always interested if any Kennedy’s are mentioned on this list. George Wellington Kennedy is my great grandfather and William Kennedy is his father and another William Kennedy is his grandfather. They were rather prominent people in Onterio. So I would like for this list to continue but since I can’t help with it my vote doesn’t count for much.

As many know Rootsweb is closing down the mailing list on March 2nd. Many listowners are taking their lists to groups.io and I am wondering if any would like to continue this list.  It has been extremely slow without post to it for a long time which I why I didn't add this list to list.io like I did for some of the other lists I admin but they are busier than this list. Well, reply to the list whether you want to keep this list alive and when I see the response, I will make the decision. I just checked the list's archives and while we have over 100 subbers, the last post to the list was in December and then only one post. -- Pat Connors http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Moving to IO would be nice. Many of the groups I am involved with have made the transition. It is easy to use. Marilyn Pogue Nagy Researching Pogue and, Mortimer from County Monaghan who moved to Ontario County, Ontario around 1850. The Mortimers may have also been in Belfast.

Hi Michael, > Will the list-owner of the can-ontario-irish Rootsweb list be moving > the list to another venue? I have moved my busy lists over to groups.io but this list is very slow so did not move it there.  However, if others would like the list to continue over at lists.io, let me know on the this list and if enough do, I will gladly add the list.  Also, if someone else would start the list over there, that would be okay with me.  Just let us know so we can join. -- Pat Connors, list owner http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Thanks to Genealogy In time online Magazine for this list of genealogy records online and free to access: *Ireland* – FamilySearch has added another 900,000 records to their Ireland 1901 census record collection. This is a very important collection for anyone with Irish ancestors since it is only one of two full censuses for Ireland that has survived. A typical record in this collection lists the name, age, occupation, relationship to the head of the household, marital status, education/literacy, religion and birth country for all the members of the household. This collection can be searched by first name and last name. Access is free. [Ireland 1901 Census Records] https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1626180 *Ireland* – The Irish Genealogical Research Society has added 14,000 more names to their early Irish birth, marriage and death indexes. This brings the total name count for the three indexes to 274,000. The marriage index is free to search. You can read more about this latest update at Irish Ancestors. https://www.irishancestors.ie/weve-added-14000-more-names-to-our-bmd-database/ *Ireland* – FamilySearch has increased their collection of Irish civil registration records by an additional one million records. These are primarily birth (1864 to 1913), marriage (1845 to 1870) and death (1864 to 1870) records issued by the Irish government. A typical birth record in this collection lists the name of the child, date and place of birth, full name and address of the father, profession of the father and full name (including maiden name) and address of the mother. A typical marriage record in this collection includes the full names of the bride and groom, their ages, date and place of marriage, occupations of the both the bride and groom, their signatures and witnesses to the marriage (who were often close relatives). A typical death record in this collection includes the full name of the deceased, date and place of death, sex, age, marital status, occupation and certified cause of death (if known). These records can be searched by first name and last name. Sadly, most of the records in this collection do not show images of the original record. Access is free.

Hoping someone may be researching the family, Thanks, Roberta Have you searched any County Clare records to determine where in the county your Bennetts are from?
