Wow this is a very helpful list. And quick too. I believe I've answered everyone who emailed directly but if I missed anyone then please accept my apologies. Len looks like he may have solved this when he suggested if the first "n" was an "r" and the "ee" was "oo" then we'd have Tiroon which would be the phonetic spelling of how an Ulsterman would have pronounced Tyrone. Closer examination of the complete scanned image suggests this would be correct. Good work considering the poor image he had to work with. I've put the complete scan at http://www.barcodereader.com.au/tineen/ if anyone wants to take a look. The Casey girls at the bottom of the page. Ann Casey married an Armstrong which is the main family name I'm researching. Regards and thanks, Alan. Alan Pine wrote: > Hello, > > Does anyone know if there is a place in Co.

Hello again Alan. I have now looked at the full scan which you have posted, and given that all of the entries above the CASEY ones give at the Native Place, the COUNTY name -- it would seem that Len is correct in thinking that it migth be Tyrone. Looking at the spelling there, it is also possible that it might be Tiroen -- as an alternative spelling for the same county. If those other lists and indexes which I mentioned earlier are available for that ship, then I think that you would obtain much more precise locational details within Tyrone from them. Good Luck with it. ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Pine" <alan@dcsa.com.au> > Len looks like he may have solved this when he suggested if the first > "n" was an "r" and the "ee" was "oo" then we'd have Tiroon which would > be the phonetic spelling of how an Ulsterman would have pronounced > Tyrone.
