Hi Cynthia I have a book which lists various graveyards in Omagh. In Cappagh C of I graveyard: William Kerr of Terraquin died 10 March 1890 aged 55 years His wife Elizabeth Kerr died 9 Feb 1903   There is also a headstoneerected by William Kerr of Terraquin in memory of his uncles James Fergey died 21 Oct 1864 aged 66 years John Fergey died 23 Feb 1865 aged 63 years Andrew Fergey died 16 Oct 1867 aged 88 years.   Hope this is of some interest Jo

Hi You can searches the indexes for 1901 census for free here: http://brsgenealogy.com/index.php However, if you want to see the actual record you have to pay 5 euros, which is fine if it's an unusual name, but a lot to pay if there are several of the same name and you dont hit on the right one first time!! It's worth checking the indexes however. It could be with more info, SKS on the list who lives in Co Tyrone, could check out the full details in the library in Omagh. I hope this is of some help.

Hi Denis. I didn't mean to imply that I believe the Irish myth is true, only that it existed and was, I believe, the source for the Romans' use of the name Scoti or Scotia. It is all fascinating, though, isn't it.

Very, very interesting Denis. Then there's this from http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Scota: "Scota, in Irish mythology and pseudohistory, was an Egyptian princess to whom the Gaels traced their ancestry, explaining the name Scoti, applied by the Romans to Irish raiders." Sometimes I think we credit the Romans with too much. Rather than the Romans inventing the name Scoti, the natives of ancient Ireland gave the Romans a new word. -----Original Message----- From: cotyroneireland-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cotyroneireland-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Genealogy Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2009 09:06 AM To: CoTyrone CoTyrone Subject: [CoTyIre] Moving back and forth/Scotch-Irish I thought this worthwhile as an addition to this wonderful thread.

I thought this worthwhile as an addition to this wonderful thread. Additional information at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Scots Denis Nomenclature While once referred to as Scotch-Irish by several researchers, that has now been superseded by the term Ulster Scots[12]. Native Speakers usually refer to their vernacular as 'Scotch'[13] or the 'hamely tongue'[14]. Since the 1980s it has also been called 'Ullans', a portmanteau neologism popularized by the physician, amateur historian and politician Dr Ian Adamson[15], merging Ulster and Lallans - the Scots for Lowlands[16]- but also an acronym for "Ulster-Scots language in literature and native speech".[17] Occasionally the term Hiberno-Scots is used[18], although it is usually used for the Ethnic group[19] rather than the vernacular History Main article: History of the Scots language The original settlers of Dalriada in County Antrim are believed to have been called the Scotti, a term signifying coastal raiding or plundering, by the Romans. The story of St. Patrick's capture by raiders who brought him to the coast of County Antrim highlight this. The Scots of Dalriada would settle on the west coast of Caledonia from at least the 6th century, but probably earlier, and would merge with other peoples, particularly the Picts. In time they would give their name - Scots - to the land in which they settled - Scotland. Scots, mainly Gaelic-speaking, had been settling in Ulster since the 15th century, but large numbers of Scots-speaking Lowlanders, some 200,000, arrived during the 17th century following the 1610 Plantation, with the peak reached during the 1690s.[20] In the core areas of Scots settlement, Scots outnumbered English settlers by five or six to one.[21] Literature from shortly before the end of the unselfconscious tradition at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is almost identical with contemporary writing from Scotland.[22] W G Lyttle, writing in Paddy McQuillan's Trip Tae Glesco, uses the typically Scots forms kent and begood, now replaced in Ulster by the more mainstream Anglic forms knew, knowed or knawed and begun. Many of the modest contemporary differences between Scots as spoken in Scotland and Ulster may be due to dialect levelling and influence from Mid Ulster English brought about through relatively recent demographic change rather than direct contact with Irish, retention of older features or separate development. Scots in Ulster has been influenced by contact with Mid Ulster English, Hiberno-English and Irish; the relationship has been two- way, with for example craic being a late 20th century gaelicisation. Mid Ulster English, the dialect of most people in Ulster, including those in the two main cities of Belfast and Derry, represents a cross- over area between Ulster Scots and Hiberno-English; it is currently encroaching on the Ulster Scots area, especially in the Belfast commuter belt, and may eventually consume it.

These are also known as the Turim mummies and have also been studied from the aspect of the Silk Road textile tradition. Hard to know who was coming or going. As a weaver and a Celt with black Irish and Scottish heritage ( black hair, blue eyes) I'm fascinated by these folks . There is a lot of great material on these people. We were everywhere!

It seems to me that the world was a lot more mobile even in ancient times than we usually think. Speaking of which, I wonder how many have seen the publicity about accidental Celtic mummies in China. No joke. If anyone is interested, I can send links to a couple of articles and photographs. The mummies were accidental in that they occurred naturally because of the desert climate in which they died.
