    1. Re: [DONEGALEIRE] TAB Senr and Junr
    2. Claire K
    3. Hi Boyd, I think you'll see no one agrees on this. Some assume Sr/Jr means father son, some assert it just means elder / younger (not necessarily father / son or even related). Is Jr still there in GV while Sr. isn't? Has Jr. assumed responsibility for both farms? If so, I'd lean toward thinking they were father / son. If both Sr and Jr are there in GV, trace forward in the Cancelled Land Books -- do you see family names taking over and/or uniting the two farms? All speculation, of course, but with some more research you might find info to help you decide how likely it is to be one family. So, that's my "official" advice. Unofficially, I'd think it's likely they were father / son, but would still look to prove / disprove it.

    2. Here is the name of one book on that site. The Family of Early: Which Settled Upon the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Put that in the search. Another is: A History of the Family of Early in America. These two books give you Full View, but not all of the books are shown that was. At least it will give you a source and maybe you could find the book. Good Luck Janice Friel **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?

    1. [DONEGALEIRE] Early Family
    2. I just read the the Early family are descendants of Jeremiah Early, who came from the county of Donegal, Ireland and settled in what is now Madison County, Virginia, early in the 18th century. I hope this helps someone. (It was in the Bulletin of the New York Public Library) Janice Friel **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?

    1. Re: [DONEGALEIRE] Question on 1878 marriage in Monreagh, County Donegal
    2. Hi Joe, Haugh, usually called Haw now, is in the parish of Taughboyne, a mile or so from Monreagh. See map at this link: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bhilchey/MTaughboyne.html The other townland is Imlick. Imlick is a townland in the neighbouring parish of Killea: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bhilchey/MKillea.html It is less than 2 miles from Haw, so well within courting distance!! There is no resident minister at Monreagh now, in fact the manse there is at the moment being converted into an international study centre for Scots Irish Presbyterian links and will be open later this year: http://news.ulster.ac.uk/releases/2005/1948.html The minister who covers Monreagh is the Reverend Dr David Latimer, minister of 1st Londonderry Presbyterian church but the last I heard, he was serving as a chaplain with the Royal Irish Rangers in Iraq. Furthermore, I would strongly advise you that these ministers are overworked and underpaid and are never too keen to do these look-ups - even if you send them a donation (about 20 euros). Finally, may I suggest that as a way forward, you have a look at the wee booklet on Lindel's webiste which I wrote to help people starting out on genealogy in Donegal: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~donegal/genbooklet.pdf Regards, Boyd. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 03 September 2008 04:01 To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [DONEGALEIRE] Question on 1878 marriage in Monreagh, County Donegal Hello to all on the list, I have a copy of a marriage cert. between Andrew HUNTER and Rebecca LONG at Monreagh Presbyterian Church on 11/14/1878.

    1. Re: [DONEGALEIRE] Question on 1878 marriage in Monreagh, County Donegal
    2. Joe, == I have a copy of a marriage cert. between Andrew HUNTER and Rebecca LONG at Monreagh Presbyterian Church on 11/14/1878. Andrew's residence is listed as Haugh, Rebecca's appears to be "Inlick", as best I can tell. == Firstly, I suspect that the Haugh location is actually Haw. There is a Haugh townland in Co. Donegal, but it is located about a mile north of Donegal town, and nowhere near Monreagh. The townland of Haw is where the village of Church Town is located, and Monreagh townland is immediately east of Haw with nearly a mile-long common border between them. The Monreagh Presbyterian church is actually in Tonagh townland - the next townland to the east. I suspect that "Inlick" is actually the townland of Imlick, which is also nearby.......just a mile or a mile and a half to the NE of Monreagh townland and the Presbyterian Congregation. So, all of these places are within 2 miles of each other, at most. If you have any other questions on the geography of these townlands, drop me a line. == Also, would the Monreagh Church be the place to write for records on this family? == I don't do any genealogy, so I'll have to leave that response to other listers.

    1. [DONEGALEIRE] Michael McGrorty obit
    2. M & T
    3. Michael McGrorty dies at age of 101 years Michael McGrorty, aged 101 years, perhaps the only centenarian in Clarion county, died at 4:30 o'clock Friday morning, April 16, 1926 at the home of his son Stephen McGrorty, of Route 2, New Bethlehem. Deceased was born in 1825 in the county of Donegal, Ireland, and was ason of Stephen and Mary (Fairy) McGrorty. For many years he was a familiar figure on the streets of New Bethlehem where he was well and favorably known. During the active days of the now deserted village of Starburg, Mr. McGrorty resided there and worked at coal mining. Mr. McGrorty, wife and three sons Patrick, Charlie, and Michael, came to America in 1888. His sons James and Stephen came a year earlier. Mr. McGrorty's Irish friends discouraged his coming to America as he was in ill health and they feared he would not live out the year. He arrived in New Bethlehem during the 4th of July celebration of 1888. His wife, who was Anna Downing, died 19 years ago. Surviving are the following children, namely: Stephen, of New Bethlehem; Patrick, of Pittsburgh; Michael, of Kaylor; Charlie, of Pittsburgh. Five children are dead, four of them being buried in Ireland. Funeral services were held at 9:30 o'clock Monday morning in St. Charles Catholic Church, the Rev. Father Francis Graves officiating. Interment, directed by Charles White, was in St. Charles cemetery. Thought I'd share it - might hslp someone Michelle

    3. Another URL that may interest those doing research in Alberta Canada Index to Alberta Homestead Records 1870 - 1930 http://abgensoc.ca/homestead/index.htm Many Irish as did other nationalities came to the western territories/provinces and Alberta Canada was one of them. Land was plentiful and title was given to those who would work and build on the property over a three year period. My art class instructors family were one of those who obtained land in the 1890s and held the land till a large power project (1960) ate up all the surrounding properties. Expansion gets us all is some form or another. As a note many immigrants moved up to Alberta from the USA territories e.g. Montana, North Dakota around the turn of the century. Never hurts to look at the database, your lost relations maybe in it. (it is an Index) Database was a 2005 Centennial project for the province of Alberta Bob Cdn ========================================

    2. Jackie Crawford
    3. Uploading, saving, and downloading files that are kept on a server somewhere out there in Webland is known in the US as "cloud computing". A few cautions about this. 1. Be sure that the service is one that you expect to be around awhile. If they go out of business, you may not be able to retrieve your files. 2. Make sure you read the fine print on the user agreement. There are some services that specify who the information belongs to (other than you!) when you upload information to their site. 3. If someone makes a claim about you using the space illegally (whether true or not), the provider may lock you out of your own files if they think that there may be some truth to the claim. It is easier for them than spending time and money researching the claim extensively. Not to scare anyone, but only to let you know that there are always positives and negatives.

So you don't need to be in SA to lose it all. I had been using the laptop as a backup. Fortunately the Desktop computer survived along with my data. So now, irrespective of hard drive failure, theft or fire, the data (which is worth more than $4.95 a month) is on a server in the US of A, ready to be recovered at a convenient time.
