I am researching the following surnames, all of which spent time in Frontenac County and have Irish origins: Toland (Tolen or Tolan in Tyrone County, Ireland) Donaldson, (Tyrone County, Ireland) Reid (Antrim County, Ireland) Moreland (originally Amherst Island, then Frontenac County, from County Down, Ireland) Rolene Eichman Kiesling, Groveland, CA

I want to welcome everyone to this new list. I started it a two weeks ago and then went to Denver for a week and haven't had the time to devote to a new list and I appologize for being so late to welcome all of you. Since we already have over 50 new members, tonight I put up a website to cover how to subscribe, unsubscribe and post to the list. It also lists some important rules/guidelines that we all need to follow to make this list successful. In the next month I will start a surname registry for the list where you will all be able to add your surnames. I have Boyles and Booths from County Kilkenny who settled in Thorald, Welland County in the middle 1800s. When you check the webpage (link at the bottom of this post if you are on L subscription. I have also added the link to the Digest), you will see there is an empty section for Ontario Irish Links. So, I think it would be great if we all send our favorite Irish links and our favorite Ontario links to the list with a short description. After a few days, I will post them to the webpage for everyone to use. Thanks to all for joining the list and I hope you will find it instrumental in solving some of those genealogical mysteries.... -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus
