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. Please contact me if you are one or know one. Thanks! - ------------------------------------------------------ D.
