Seeking information on Dempsey family in the Castletownroche area. My gggrandfather married Catherine Dempsey in January 1818 in Castletownroche. His home was listed as Scart, Kildorrery, Kildorrery RC Parish. A son was baptized in Castletownroche Parish in December 1818. Three other children were born in Scart, Kildorrery subsequent to that. 1222MST 9 December 2002. John Myers, Cave Creek, Arizona, USA.

Seeking any information On Myers/Meyers in County Cork prior to 1850 especially in the Kildorrery RC Parish or neighboring areas to include Clonmel, County Tipperary. Anything will help. 1216MST 9 December 2002. John Myers, Cave Creek, Arizona, USA.

William Myers, born July 1860, to Patrick Myers and Catherine Sullivan in Ballyvoddy (Rockmills), Kildorrery RC Parish (St. Nathlash Civil Parish), Co Cork emigrated to Australia via England at an unknown date. He was in Cloncurry, Queensland at least from 1917 to 1924 per the voting rolls after which time there is no listing for him. He letter he wrote from there in January 1920 to Ireland gives his address as 'c/o Postmaster, Cloncurry'. I have no other information on him. I do have numerous William Myers listed as arriving in Australia but none listing his age. Myers is also spelled as Meyers in some cases. 1209MST 9 December 2002. John Myers, Cave Creek, Arizona, USA.

I received a list of baptism records from the Mallow Heritage Centre. For the siblings of my great-grandfather, it lists the following as addresses: Glenacip Glenascip Glenicip Glenakip Glenachip Is it safe to assume that these all refer to modern day Glanakip? I just wanted to verify this before I ordered an Ordance Survey Discovery Map. Anybody else researching in the area of Glanakip? I've reproduced the list below, which includes witnesses, in case anyone sees a connection.

What Pat describes (posting obits etc) is always welcomed -- people send information of all sorts to lists as long as it meets our rules (copyright and length of message). This Cork list is probably the largest county list for Ireland.... mostly because there are a lot of people who only have "Cork" as a place of origin in Ireland, when many times that is where they got on the boat, not where they were from (I have that even in my own line, thankfully I knew where they were really from). We usually have between 900 and 1000 members. Many people "lurk" or just watch the lists in order to learn, and that's a good thing to do, you learn by seeing what others are doing. People are always welcome to send in their surnames and locations of interest to any list, the only thing we ask is that you not put "Roll Call" in the subject line. Rootsweb frowns on that (although some lists do it, I know) because it doesn't tell the reader what the message is about (so many people don't even read the message) and it messes up the archives with all those Roll Calls in the subject line. As an alternative, that is why I have a surname page on the Cork IGW site which I also run. There are many names there, and you can submit yours anytime (I'm a bit behind right now due to workload but they get put up). The Cork page is at http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/corkigw There you will find info about the mailing list as well as donated material to the site. That is another thing you can do if you have material (again, if it meets copyright standards), you can contact whomever runs the county site and ask if they will put it up for you. This kind of information shows up on search engines, where mailing list messages do not. You should also realize there are many "specialty" mailing lists, ones where people send in obits from their local papers every day, ones for Irish who settled in a certain area... and on and on. Not all these lists are on the Rootsweb server, so the -best- place to look is on John Fuller's site, http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html Finally, at this time of year, all lists are slow. People are busy with holidays, and in Australia (where we have many members, about 1/3) it's summer time. Then in January, when Santa brings all those shiny new computers, we get lots of "newbies" who are just starting. I hope this explained things about lists to everyone. I'm always available for questions, but yes, I'm a stickler for sticking to the rules of the list. There is no way to run a very large list without them. If you're not happy on one list, go to John Fuller's site and try another, usually there are more than one list for large areas. Let's not debate this on the list..... if you have any other questions or comments please send them to me privately. Again, anyone is always welcome to send info and their data to any list.

Hello, I am researching my grandmother's family who came from County Cork. Her grandfather was Dennis Desmond born about 1820. His father was Patrick Desmond and mother Margaret O'Donnell. I do not have much information on this family except Dennis went to Canada in the 1840's where his children were born. He then came to Cincinnati Ohio where he was a blacksmith. I understand the name Desmond is very common in County Cork. I can not pinpoint exactly what area they came from. The were Catholic. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Janet

Is anyone researching the Manley name? I have a James samuel Edward Manley born April 1898 in Cork. Father was Edward Manley, mother Jane Glover. I am now completely stuck & wondered if there was anyone else researching this name Many thanks Jo

I have been on and off many lists in the past ten years, and am currently on at least six. I have noticed that presently on most lists there are only a question or two per day. Surely we have not all found 'all the answers'. It would seem to me that if everyone did more posting of questions or relevant items of interest to most list participants, which include names and locations we would all stand a better chance of making connections with others who share our interests as to time and place in addition to names. For example, I was born and raised in San Francisco, had many relatives and friends who were and are Irish or Irish connected. Would there be any interest on this list, if I were to post old obituaries which gave Co. Cork, and sometimes specific locations in Co Cork, to the list. For instance, my grandmother's death notice in 1965, stated originally that she was "from Drimoleague, Co Cork, Ireland" and then listed sisters and brothers who survived her and their locations at that time. Surely there many other areas where the Irish congregated in large numbers, and wouldn't it be great if other people with access to old newspapers did this too. Wouldn't this be helpful to a good number of people if many of us did this? Would that be an acceptable use of this list? And would the list mom find this suitable? How say you all?

I also thought about sending a similar reply to Maura's message and will do so now. First of all I thought this list was meant as a source of information for anyone with a query relating to their research, regardless of whether the list owner thought it "necessary" or not. Am I perhaps mistaken in this belief? During my many years of researching my Irish Ancstors, and I am a very serious researcher, I have resorted to buying various "baby-name" books but have found them lacking in information relating to the many Irish "nicknames". For instance, my name is Margaret, but because my father was an Irishman I naturally am called Peggy. I have never yet found this Irishism mentioned in any book. It seems to me that once a baby was Baptised in Ireland and given a name it was taken for granted that the child would be known by anything other than it's proper name.

Pleased that John O'DRISCOLL goes along with my thinking. Can I just add this to my previous message, and then I will retreat into the background <g>. I also feel, that our global meeting place is not that over loaded that it cannot cope with a little light hearted tit-tat, I myself have enjoyed reading all the replies, and now I bow out gracefully.!!!!!!!

I don't think there are any "silly or stupid" question ever posted on the lists, this is how we all share and learn together, and hopefully help each other to find those elusive ancestors. I know I have been helped so much by other folks in my search for my family, and without them would never have discovered that the little town of Allihies on the Beara Peninsula is where my ancestors lived and died. Thank you to all who have helped me, Paula I research the names Connolly, Harrington, Sullivan and Dudley in Allihies.

Thanks to everyone who so kindly replied to my querry on the nickname for Elizabeth. Ironically, I have a daughter named Elizabeth, but have never heard of Lillie as an alternative. Maybe it depends on the country or part of the country as to variations. After your replies I do think my Elizabeth and Lillie are the same person. Kristie in Utah

I sent a suggestion to this list not two weeks ago, saying if you are in any way serious about genealogy you need to buy a good baby name book. Questions about nicknames can be answered by looking in the book instead of asking the list. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Maura Petzolt mpetzolt2@webtv.net <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> SHAMROCK ROOTS homepage http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/SHAMROCKROOTS Helpful Hints for Successful Searching http://community.webtv.net/mpetzolt2/helpfulhints

Elizabeth is also Eliza and I have both heard and seen Lillibet.

Hello Listers, I am also interested in other names for Elizabeth. I am having trouble finding the birth of an Ellen, cannot find her, but at there is the birth of an Elizabeth! Have been wondering whether they could be the same person.

My VICKERY family from County Cork frequently used "Elizabeth"- one of its favorite names, and rarely did the child use that name. At least two were called LILY. When we contacted some distant double cousins for family information, they gave "grandmother's" name as "Lillian". They had no idea she was named Elizabeth Mary Ellen. Barbara Rice Lafayette IN
