Looking for info on George and Margaret(nee Reynolds)Doherty. They lived in Garrygort, Co. Donegal from approx 1864-1910. They had at least 5 children-- Rosy, Jane, Margaret, George and John. I did find Rosy and Jane's birth dates and the civil registration at that time was Kilmacrenan but after 1865 I was not able to find anything for Kilmacrenan. I was wondering if anyone knows if the civil registration changed and if so to what place. Thanks, Judy Turner callie53@hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Is this the same group that the Doherty from Chicago worked with in Donegal and used to put out a newsletter plus website? Any tips on how I can follow up via e-mail on information I sought via the genealogy centre in Derry. I sent them a check last summer with my great grandfather's name and date of birth and have received nothing but my canceled check. How do I contact them? James Richard Doherty arrived in Philadelphia around 1864, married Mary Elizabeth Manning in Titusville, PA, and worked for the railroads moving eventually to Johnsonburg PA. James had a brother Charles in Bradford, PA and Mary had sisters in Johnsonburg. They had four children, Anna Doherty O'Connor, Cecelia Doherty Crowder, Richard Doherty (whom we cannot trace further than 112 when he was last in Johnsonburg, and their daughter Mary Elizabeth who married James John Maher of Kane whose family was from Offaly County-Portarlington and who owned a very prosperous oil well drilling company and dray business. They had four children, my father James John Junior, an electrical contractor, Mary Maher Smith, a teacher, Dorothy Maher Dremann and Richard L. Maher-who was politics editor of the Cleveland Press for over 40 years and internationally known for his integrity and fine journalism. We have just begun to research our Doherty line and have learned James was born in Londonderry. Now seeking more about his family as well as the MANNINGS, MAHERS, AND CROSSONS. Any leads on Richard Doherty and James and Charles parents (two siblings remained in Ireland and never immigrated) would be helpful. I have posted on the gene forums seeking Richard who spent a lot of time in the South as an engineer but no luck in finding what happened to him.

Hello, I have recently joined the list and thought I would introduce myself. I am Dan Doherty, born & living in Victora, BC, Canada (southern tip of that big island snuggled into the NW corner of Washington state). My line landed in Nova Scotia & New Brunswick inthe mid 1800s then one son's line headed west to Calgary, Vancouver and now Victoria. My father Hugh has amassed quite a bit on this line and back to Cornelius in Donegal, where we found a parallel line and some living cousins. His website has several Descendancy Charts http://www.islandnet.com/~hdoherty I am the Webmster for the O'Dochartaigh (Doherty) Family Research Centre & Inishowen Genealogy, now situated in Buncrana, Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal. I love the Internet...I am half way around the world from there! If you haven't already found it, I invite you to have a look at the clann Website. There are over 140 variations of our name, but we all link back to Inishowen. http://www.islandnet.com/~doherty/clann I have recently posted some new information regarding the Clann Gathering, June 23 - July 7, 2000 in Ireland. If you want me to keep you updated, let me know and I will put you on my contact list. I am just about to send an email newsletter out. A printed copy of the website will be out soon, handy for off-line study or for your cousins who are not on email. A new Inishowen CD-ROM is due in early December. A new edition of the full-colour Inishowen map is also available. I also do workshop helping folks use the Internet for genealogy and facilitate the Web SIG (special interest group) for the Victoria Genealogy Society: http://www.islandnet.com/~vgs I am impressed with the detailed research and cooperation between people on the list. Best of luck in your searches! ---Dan PS 1. Let me know if there is something that you think should be added to the clan website. Let me know if you would like to help with the website, transcribing newsletters, moderating CHATs, etc. 2. I AM SEEKING contacts for regional or family groups and reunions.
