Thanks for this site, Bob. Haven't found anyone I want - yet - but it's interesting to see the variety listed. For instance, seamen from Sweden, Germany, Holland, Finland, etc. Also there are many 'vessels' where the Master's wife and/or children were aboard, so if you can't find people that you just KNOW were alive at the time of the Census, you might find them here. Dorothy New Zealand A couple of URLs that may be of interest to someone. Interesting site dealing with the 1881 UK census. A lot of work was put into these files by the transcribers extracting each from the main census. The 1881 Census contains details of many ships in UK ports. These records are useful for tracing seamen and passengers coming into or going out of the country.

For those doing research in Quebec Canada The familysearch pilot project has photo copied the Quebec Catholic Parish Registers, 1621 - 1900 Another great source of data. Not sure if any other organization has these records in one place, other than the Quebec Government URL: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=2;c=1321742;t=browsable;w=0 Bob Cdn ==========================================

Some Manoe's in the Registers. 6/2/1856 Edward/Robert Manoe Dromoske [George] and Isabella McAnurn/McNairn Mullinacross Parents William McAnurn and Margaret Fawcett 13/9/1860 John Mano/e Drummark Parish of Drumholm [Father Edward deceased] and Mary Strong, Cairnhugh [Hugh] Married in Templecarn Church 26/10/1867 Patrick Slavin Cashel Kilbarron [Patrick Labourer] and Jane Monoe Drimoske Drumholm [George] Married in Register Office, Ballyshannon, looks like Patrick was a Roman Catholic. 28/8/1913 Manoe Edward FA Dromoske John Manoe McNern Letitia FA Mullinacross Robert McNearn There appears to have been two families in Drumholm Edward and George Manoe. This is all I can find so far. Margaret

The Manoe's lived in Drumholm and Ernie Manoe is still living there, his brother Billy died some years ago, there appeared to be one family of Manoe's but some of them went to America etc. I have no notes on them but will look through my records and see what I can turn up, they are mentioned in Marge Carlson's letters to Lettie Morrow and I have the copies.

Is there anyone on the list reseraching McDaid? I found a very sad newspaper article about an explosion at the Malin Head Pier and the article only mentions the surname. I looked up some baptismal records and found two McDaids in Ballygorman. One of the McDaids who did not have any more children after 1886 was a James McDaid married to Bridget McGowan. The article said that Mr. McDaid had nine children. If anyone is researching this family please let me know and I will give you the full details of the newpaper article. The explosion occured in January 1886. Beannachtai, Margaret (Máiread)

Have just broken through another generation in Donegal. The newest surname is MENOE, MEYNOE or variations [like MINOE and MANOE]. Its rare in the List Archives. Does someone have this surname in their Tree ? There is no Message Board or Mailing List for any of these spellings. Lindel found a few Drumhome marriages, one was just what I was looking for : James CRAWFORD married Margaret MENOE 28 Apr 1807 [my newest find] Richard PATCHELL married Anne MENOE 23 Oct 1812 John THOMPSON married Mary MENOE 19 Dec 1805 The IGI has this as a Patron Submission for a birth : James Crawford B1789 at DRUMARK, Donegal I have the 1901 census on film, it shows neighboring MENOE families at Drumoske, one headed by Edward MENOE age 86, a Widower and the other headed by Mary MENOE age 54, a Widow. Edward had a niece [Margaret, 30] and grandniece [Jane, 2] named DELAP living with him, Mary had MENOEs, a daughter [Lizzie, 28] and son [Eddie, 26] both unmarried living with her. Need guidance in finding more on this name if possible. Meg Greenwood / Oklahoma USA ==========================

P.S. I had some spare time today, so looked up the William and Dora Reilly marriage in the index. (No time to look at the actual cert.) Dora's maiden name was given as McKeone (and remember, her parents were born in Ireland), in case that helps anyone ID the proper Reilly family. (William was listed with the "Riley" rather than "Reilly" spelling, FWIW). Claire K.

Hi Kathleen Attached Donegal Ancestry booklet produced by Boyd Gray. Boyd is a member of this mailing list. No attachments on the Mailing list message. In some case I have used Tiny URLs to save space. Always start with what you know and write it for refernce................. Work back from the present, some records may give you a clue as to where things happen, BMD etc. Next check the IGI at family search. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp Then visit your local Family History Centre: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp Ask the staff lots of questions, many FHCs have staff that are knowledgeable about How To Do Research.

Bridget McGarvey was born c. 1862 in Co. Donegal, Ireland -- so could be related to Dora's parents who were reportedly born in Ireland. There are no known Doras in my tree, however. I know only that Bridget had a sister Catherine (married a McGee) and a brother John (married twice, no known children), both of whom also emigrated. I know nothing of any of the family who may have stayed in Donegal and haven't yet figured out where in Donegal they came from. Bridget McGarvey married Thomas Royle, who was born c. 1861 in Lancashire (Salford area), England -- so could be a relation of the father William Reilly who was born in England. My English Royles, however, have shown no connection with any Reillys (or any other Irish names), and were not Catholic (which is not to say that none of their family was, but I've seen no sign of it). If anyone recognizes these Reillys and knows of a McGarvey or Royle connection, please let me know. Otherwise, I hope this at least helps someone who's researching William and Dora.

Many people ask why their families left Ireland at times other than the Great Famine (An Gorta Mor - Great Hunger) or one of the Rebellions. Ireland had much poverty and the following excerpt shows all too well why our ancestors found it necessary to flee Donegal and other parts of Ireland. Maude Gonne MacBride helped tenants in County Donegal during the 1880s when many were being evicted from their homes. Taken from : Freeman's Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser (Dublin, Ireland), Saturday, April 8, 1882 There is a long article about evictions in County Donegal. Since my area of research is Malin Head I am listing only one item: "The next move was the property of Mr. George Harvey of Malin, a short distance away.Several cases on this estate were temporarily settled, none of which are of great interest. The only actual eviction that took place was on the holdings of PATRICK COLLINS, who held 12 or 13 acres of which it is almost hardly too much to say that there are no more than 4 acres arable.The rent is 6 pounds,3s,6d and I think there are 10 family members living on the holding. The land is the poorest of the poor. How any man could hope to work it with any chance of making a livlihood is a mystery and certainly nothing could explain the circumstances that the family contrived to hold on so long save the knowledge that an Irish peasant will cling on like a "limpet to a rock" to the old homestead. All efforts at a satisfactory settlement failed and the shovel and bar brigade commenced operations. I never saw anything to equal the way n whcih these men tumbled out the wretched furniture of htat cabin, and I will not dwell much longer on the painful picture the scene presented. An incident on the apinfrul picture the scene presented. An incident took place, however, which deserves to be mentioned because ot its extraordinary character, and one whichprobably has ot its parallel in connection with evictions in Ireland. The soldiers were present under the command of Lieut. Segrave, an officer whose kind manner and whose obvious distaste for the unmilitary duty at whcih he was called on to assist made him a great favourite with nearly everybody who met him. For the first time, up to the present, they were actual spectators of the work of eviction, and seemed really moved by the scene. When the work of clearing out and nailing up had been finsihed severalyoung peasants girls who were sittig opposite the door sang a melancholy old Irish song bewailing the bitter day and full of patriotic sentiments, theythen sang in lud chorus, "God Save Ireland". When they had finished the soldiers formed in a ody on a little bill behind them and san to a national air "The Land of Saint Patrick." The effect was very remarkable, and the event is not without significance. On yesterday the scene of operation ws changed to Glenealy, to the property of Mrs. Torrens. of Coleraine." The only Patrick Collins I found in Clonca Parish in the Griffith's Valuation was Patrick Collins of Balleelaghan. Beannachtai, Margaret (Máiread)
