"Almost three quarters of a century after being sent to the gallows for a murder he had nothing to do with, Tipperary man Harry Gleeson is to become the first recipient of a posthumous pardon from the State [of Ireland]. In 1940, Mr Gleeson walked into a garda station in New Inn, Co Tipperary to report his discovery of a dead body. Moll McCarthy was lying in a field having suffered two shotgun blasts to the face." http://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/irish-man-cleared-of-murder-74-years-after-hanging-1.2061693 Janet

So sorry to hear about the death of Jim Condon- I met his son some years ago in Thurles and got Jim's DVD of the research he had done. A wonderful resource. Thanks for letting us know Mike.

To All While browsing the Irish web sites I noticed an obit for Jim Condon. For many years he has had a web site containing info on Thurles and the Ryan, Fogarty and Mathew families. http://homepage.tinet.ie/~jjcondon/ He will be missed. Mike McGraw Austin, TX mcgrathsearch.com <http://www.thurles.info/2014/12/26/death-of-mr-jim-condon/> Death Of Mr Jim Condon It is with great sadness and sincere regret we learn of the death of Mr James (Jim) Condon, 4 Butler Avenue, Thurles, Co Tipperary, following an illness. Mr Condon, (US Army Emeritus) passed away on December 23rd last, (2014) deeply regretted by his loving wife Biddy, sons Liam and Sean, daughter Siobhán, daughter-in-law Sharan, sister Nora, aunt Alice, grandchildren, great-grand-children, nieces, nephews, relatives, friends and neighbours. During his years of retirement Mr Condon, a highly respected and published local historian, through his original research generated new insights into our town’s forgotten history. His years of research enhanced greatly an understanding of our towns important historic contribution, not just to to our county, but also to the Irish nation as a whole. The former winner of a coveted Henry Ford Environmental History Award, Mr Condon’s 16ft x 8ft scale model of the town of Thurles, presently on display at St Mary’s Famine Museum, Thurles, is testament and a monument to some four years of research by him during the late 1990’s, latter relating to conditions experienced during the Great Famine period (1845 – 1849) here in Thurles. Mr Condon’s body will repose at the Ardeen Nursing Home on Friday, December 26th, from 5.00pm to 7.00pm, arriving at the Church of St. Joseph and St. Brigid, Bothar-Na-Naomh, Thurles at 7.30pm. Requiem Mass will be on Saturday next at 10.00am, with burial afterwards in St. Patrick’s cemetery, Moyne Road, Thurles, Co Tipperary. Go ndéana Dia trócaire ar a anam dílis.

Hello, I haven't posted to this list for quite a few years now. I thought that I would repost my ancestors information to see if anyone out there could help. Samuel Hogan was an agriculturalist, who was born in Tipperary in 1800. I don't know specifically where in Tipperary he was born. Samuel married Margaret Noonan (born 1803) They had the following children: 1. Mary Hogan born 1821 in Ireland 2. Thomas Hogan born 1821 in Ireland 3. Ellen Hogan born 1822 in Ireland 4. John Hogan born 1823 in Bansha Co. Tipperary married:Eliza O'Neil 11th Feb 1848 Port Fairy Victoria, Australia. Died 30th Jan 1890 in Melbourne 5. Bridget Hogan born 1824 in Ireland & died 1914 in Murchison, Victoria 6. Judith Hogan born 1834 in Ireland According to the Tipperary Family history research centre there were 2 other children born to Samuel and Margaret,(Margaret & David)but there was no mention of them having travelled to Australia with their parents. ? where they deceased, or adopted out and left in Ireland. 7. Margaret born 24th Feb 1837 in Ireland 8. David born 18th May 1839 in Ireland Samuel, Margaret and 6 children left Plymouth in 1839 on board the "William Metcalffe" arriving in Australia that year. Margaret died on board. I am interested in finding out any more about this family, and the 2 children who never came to Australia with the family. I appreciate any help I can get. Regards, Joan

A new genealogy problem for more modern Ireland. It seems like it only applies perhaps to babies stillborn in hospitals and maybe confined to the 1900's: The babies if no other instructions were given were buried with unrelated adults with few records kept. More information will be coming out. http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/dead-babies-buried-in-coffins-with-adults-30822756.html Janet

Many years ago, a friend of mine her in Pittsburgh invested in a plan to be the exclusive distributor for I believe it was a Scotch Whiskey by the same name. He was very successful for a number of years and received a lot of ink in the local papers and who knows where else. Tragically Stanley died at a rather young age.

I think it is an advantage to have the original records. We will be able to decipher records ourselves. We are familiar with names in our own family so will be less likely to make the same mistake the transcribers made. As an example, I needed to know who an oldest son was. I paid for a record and found the first name to be Roderick. That name certainly did not run in my family. On a trip to Ireland, I was able to check the filmed record at the National Library and could see the name was Patrick. I had earlier decided this was not my family because the name Roderick was not used in my family, but when I saw the name was really Patrick, I was able to determine, this family WAS part of my extended family. I tend to think that original records are always better than transcribed records so I for one am really pleased that the digitized filmed records are what we will be able to read.

Hello everyone! Anyone know the meaning of the Irish term "Uisce Beatha"? Googling it comes up with "Whiskey", but that does not seem to fit the song where I see it used. This song from Riverdance, Cloudsong sung by Anúna runs through my mind when I consider my ancestors. It's like I'm asking them in one verse and they reply in the next. Kinda haunting! Here are the lyrics, Uisce Beatha is at the end of the 2d verse: Hear my cry, In my hungering search for you, Taste my breath on the wind, See the sky as it mirrors my colours, Hints and whispers begin. I am living to nourish you, cherish you, I am pulsing the blood in your veins, Feel the magic and power of surrender, To life. Uisce Beatha Every finger is touching and searching, Until your secrets come out, In the dance, as it endlessly circles, I linger close to your mouth. You can see & hear it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8VCx3KZxo8 Thanks in advance! Ed Madden Ridgefield, WA

I have seen some of the Cashel books in the National Library and they take a lot of deciphering. I am not surprised at all that a lot of the transcripts were read incorrectly. At least quarter of the surnames could be read as two or three different names.!! However if you are researching a particular name you get used to seeing it and can spot it, but for someone transcribing name after name it is a different story. Blots, black areas and bad writing aside. This is going to be an improvement as people will be able to recognise their names, and have some idea regarding dates. If 1833 looks very much like that and you know it isn't; then you can work out yourself if it's 38 which a transcriber would not have a clue about. It is going to be a big advantage. Of course you have to bear in mind that Priests and Clergymen did not necessarily write up the books immediately after the event. Sometimes it was only done days afterwards and memories can fail.
