Greetings All, I am new to you list and am wondering if anyone is researching the Orr's from Donegal. I am looking for Alexander Orr born 1757. I don't know what town. He came to Pennsylvania with his brother Patrick and sister Margaret. I'm not sure what year they arrived. Dee

Thats good to have the info online but if you're after family who should have been in Stranorlar, Donaghmore, Taughboyne and a few other parishes don't worry if you can't find them in that index, because its not complete. For instance, the original Griffiths Valuation has 944 households in Stranorlar parish, not just 1 lonely Samuel Nicholls in Lettermakenny in that online index :-) The other two parishes I mentioned are short about 900 households each. Bob has a complete index by Surname at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hiflyte/griffith_evaluation_donegal.htm, which includes those missing households.

Hello Below is website that has an Index to Griffiths Valuation for all of Donegal by Townlands Good looking Colleen Canada <http://members.cox.net/hayes1966/donegal.htm>

Hi Bob, I have tried to access the following surname records - Griffith's Valuation (1857) for Donegal surnames from Mc Paul to Purrines This page contains 624 surnames sorted by Surname, Parish and Location but have not been able to do so. I go to the website and I don't see this listed. Can you possibly direct me on how to access the surnames? I would like to thank you for all the help you give and the postings. It most certainly helps me with my research. Rose

Its over! They should be pretty much back to normal now - I had a friend waiting on the strike to end and he sent this on 10 April - "We thought the postal dispute was settled - but it's not quite settled yet. The management of "An Post" tried to hire 200 casual workers for a period of three or four weeks to clear the backlog. The Postal Workers Union objected and trotted out an agreement that they negotiated some years ago, i.e., "that casual workers must be employed for a minimum of seven months" ! So negotiations are continuing and the backlog is being cleared slowly and the seals that were placed on post boxes were only removed a couple of days ago. The postal workers also have an agreement that anyone asked to work overtime (no matter how little) must be paid a minimum of three hours - presumably at the enhanced rate. One postal worker made ¬56,000 extra on overtime last year. No wonder An Post lost over ¬40million last year." I did eventually get the parcel my friend posted to me :-) All the best, Lindel patrick haynes wrote: >Can any one tell me if the strike at the Dublin mail office has ended or is mail entering Ireland from overseas still being held up. > Patrick Haynes > > >==== DONEGALEIRE Mailing List ==== >To browse through the archives of the list go to >http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl >Visit my homepage at http://freepages.genealogy.com/~donegaleire > >============================== >Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration >Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.

Hello Inishowen Travelers I am researching the DOHERTY family that starts for me in TULLYDISH, BUNCRANA with JAMES DOHERTY and chidden WILLIAM and BRIDGET. William has many descendants in the Buncrana area. Bridget married JOHN MCLAUGHLIN probably from LETTER, FAHAN around 1860. They had children JOHN, CHARLES (1867), PATRICK (1869),WILLIAM, JAMES, CATHERINE (1872), DANIEL (1876) MCLAUGHLIN. Their mother Bridget died in BALLYEDEROWEN in 1896 and her husband John died between 1901 and 1904 in the same area. JOHN married ANNIE MOONEY in Fahan and moved to Londonderry where descendants live today. DANIEL married GRACE VERONICA CURRAN and lived in TOOBAN, FAHAN where descendants live today. CHARLES went to GLASGOW and married MARY MCALEER where family may live today and spell the name MCLAUGHLAN. PATRICK was born in Carnashannagh moved to Glasgow and Wishaw, Scotland, (married ISABELLA COONEY) Nova Scotia, Windsor, Ontario and Michigan where descendants live today. WILLIAM, JAMES and CATHERINE lived in Fahan and Ballyederowen and have no descendants as far as I know. Chuck Loeher Grosse Pointe, Michigan USA

Someone put these names on the list and I can't find their email, so will reply to the list. A Daniel CROSSAN and Anne McDEVITT have four childen on the IGI. John born 1870, Mary born 1872, Ellen (Helen) born 1875 and Bridget 1877. Does not give the place of birth - just Donegal. I couldn't find Daniel and Anne on any Census for 1901 and 1911 for Donegal. I did find an Ellen CROSSAN arriving in New York to relocate to Philadelphia in 1895. A Bridget went to the States in 1903 to stay with her sister Ellen in Philidelphia as did a Mary in 1906. I may be able to decipher the address where Ellen was living in the US for you. I can give you the names of the ships anyway. Cheers, MAGGIE

Reposting Interest I am researching the CRAMPSEY family. I have information back to William CRAMPSEY (1813-1874) and Hannah McGeoghan (1817-1894). They had 8 sons: James William (1844-1920-went to Canada), Patrick (1846<1850), Michael (1847-?), Patrick (1850- 1902-remained in Derry), Edward (1852-?-went to Scotland), John (1855-? ***My gr-grandfather-he remained in Derry), William Steven (1859-1914-remained in Derry), Philip (1861-1940-remained in Carndonagh). The children where primarily born in Carndonagh. In later years one son went to Toronto, Canada, One to Scotland and 4 to Derry. If anyone has a connection would love to exchange information.

Judith, If you're not sure of the county for a particular surname, it can be worth checking it out on the Irish Times website where they have some statistics based on the 1850's Griffiths Valuation by County. It does quite a good job of allowing for spelling variations. Take a look: http://www.ireland.com/ancestor/ Having had a brief peek, I think you were right first time: you're probably looking in Donegal, maybe in neighbouring Tyrone. And you should also look for CROSSAN and McCROSSAN. Next, check out Griffiths for the surnames Crosson, Crossan etc. Griffiths was recorded by townland. A good start would be websites by two of our list members. Lindel's genealogy resources is the most complete Donegal site on the web: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegal/ Bob's website has generously transcribed Griffiths records: (Bottom of page choose Research Data, then Ireland data, then Griffith Valuation Donegal). I just checked and Bob has a super collection of Crossan, Crossen etc. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hiflyte/ Hope that helps.

Greetings to a very helpful list: Can anyone tell me how to find Daniel Crosson and Annie McDevitt Crosson? Big problem with the many spellings of Crosson. They were alive in 1914. I believe that they were from Donegal because all the ancestors were but I am not sure. If not Donegal, then definitely Northern Ireland. Daniel was a farmer. Their daughter, Helen, emigrated from Ireland and went to Philadelphia in the late 1880's or 1890's. Thanks. Judy --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

For some reason Henry when I tried the link there was something wrong with it. The return message said something about a string missing.............or words akin to that. Anyway - it's an interesting list - you've posted the names and there's not much else left to look at on that page *but* if you go to the home page at: http://www.donegaltown.ie and then scroll down that page and keep watching the left hand side column - then, that's where you come to the Transportation list - plus more. An interesting site to say the least - I have a link on my Donegal page to the Donegal town page - but it's come on in leaps and bounds since I first looked at it - or, maybe I just never took a good look at all the site had to offer, so thanks for pointing this page on that site out. I've another reason to thank you - I had loaded a page to the history section of my site relating to Transportation in the 1650's - but I had forgotten to load the county pages I had it linked to!! It's olde English, but gives the reader some bit of understanding of the whole situation in law re vagabonds and idlers etc......few names mentioned other than the Captains of ships used to transport people and where they were sent to. So, in case anyone would like to know something about 'transportation' as well as this list of Donegal names then take a look at: http://www.from-ireland.net/history/allcounties/transportation.htm Jane ----- Original Message ----- From: "McFadden" <McFadden@ntlworld.com> To: <DONEGALEIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2004 4:02 PM Subject: [DONEGALEIRE] Transportation, Donegal to America 18C. > > I have just come across the following list at . . .

Ted here. Hi Folks. Sorry about the confusion, fact is, I contacted the Providers of my sites lat year cancelling the site subscription fees. I could not afford to keep them running as there were very few follow up enquiries. I was unaware that the sites were still running and they have not been maintained for over a year now. If anyone wishes to contact me I can be found through the following email address: ted@irishancestry.com or hyndo96@hotmail.com Ted
