I'd say they were telling the truth. Why would they be lying? Back then in that area many spoke Irish and only Irish.

In the 1920 American census for two relatives born in Ireland I found a record in which they listed "Irish" as their mother tongue. These two folks were from the Grianan area west of Derry and St. Johnston, and were born in 1867 and 1884. There is no family legend of them speaking Irish. What are the chances that they were telling the truth in 1920 when they said their mother tongue was Irish? best, Paul Carr

Hi, Margaret, Although I haven't known about "my" WILLIEs/WYLIEs for more than a year or so, the earliest ones that I know of at this point, (Miriam WILLIE, who marr Thomas HARRIS) were both born in 1677, Thomas @ Block Island, RI, and Miriam @ New London, New London Co., CT. I was told that all the Willies, Wylies, and several other spellings, in this country were of the same family. What I'm wondering now is, as my Miriam pre-dates your Samuel, was the family originally Scottish, and maybe one or more branches came to America, and later some returned to Scotland?? (The more Scottish ancestors I find, the happier I am...I think it all dates back to a vcry early childhood love of the bagpipes, and the fact that my father, in spite of never in his life having set foot in any place in Europe, with the exception of landing in France with his battalion in WWI) (he had volunteered for service, and did the same thing again about 28 or 29 years later in WWII, only that time the Army wouldn't accept him (he was about 46 or 47 at the time), the Navy said the same thing, so he, not to be thwarted, went to the Marine Corps and talked them into letting him take the physical, which he passsed with flying colors, and the rest is history!)...he could still sing "Auld Lang Syne" with the greatest Scottish accent, and he went every year to the St. Andrew's Society's banquet on Rabbie Byrnes Day, and ate the haggis! So when I started this genealogy business, I grin and think about him every time I stumble across another Scotsman in the family! I've been there twice now, and I absolutely love it. I'd hoped to go back this summer, only this time to the Highlands, where our Robertsons and Rosses were from. (I was in the Borders the other times, looking for more Armstrongs and others.0 Anyway, I've seen so few queries about the Wylies/Willies, that when I saw yours, I think I let out one of the Robertson war cries (only it was in happiness, not anything else!) Any info that anyone out there might be able to give me on the family that came before the father of Thomas, William, who was one of the earliest settlers of Block Island. His wife was Elizabeth (poss, INNES)...no info on her.)...any info would be very gratefully received!! Barbara in MO (but originally from NYC)

Hello All, Well, I've read and re-read the postings of the last couple of days and I can't see what all the fuss is about. I think Fran and I would disagree over US politics but she never mentioned Irish politics so where does the heading "Bitter politics" come from? I thought she gave a reasonable view of her visits round the North and what she has found then gave a website that people could visit IF they wanted to. Still no bitter politics. The only bitterness, I thought, was when a couple of listers referred to the lack of funding for "genuine" Donegal culture, like singing and fiddling. Surely this is a matter for the Republic's government and not for our list? (I would like to know what "genuine" culture is, though). We have 2 cultures in this area and each is deserving of respect and government funding. I thought Fran was trying to pour oil on troubled waters but others set fire to it, Rob Doragh Liverpool UK _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

Hey Margo and listers! This has gotten out of hand! I'm not offended at all about anything that has been tossed my way, so no one else should get excited over it. I used the Bush comment to indicate that we cannot all always be in agreement on everything! It wasn't meant to incense nor offer real political commentary. If it incensed some, please accept my sincere apology! I would hope you would remain a part of this list Margo, you have been a member for some time and your wisdom has always been appreciated. I myself have every intent of remaining on, even if I just lurk in the background. For those who want to discuss Ulster Scots in all it's manifestations, there is an excellent list at Rootsweb, called Ullans! For those who would like to listen to the dialect, please tune in to BBC Northern Ireland and have a listen. It is truly music to the ears! I can hear me Granny now saying she was gonnae give us wains a skelping.

Enough has been said about this. I could care less about it, but we do NOT need any more comments. It's time for a "time out". Everyone get back to the reason for being on the list. Trying to trace their family roots in Donegal is our reason. Mike Harkins Columbus, GA

Thanks so much. I don't care much what anyone thinks about anyone's political opinions, and anyone has as much right as I do to say what theirs may be. But you're a bit rude to, to assume that I was trying to shut anyone down........I thought it was a bit amusing that some poster would get so het up about one little sentence showing how different opinions can be. Now can we just drop the whole idiotic subject? I've heard enough politics in the last few days to last me the rest of my life, and I don't care to see or hear any more, particularly here.

I've been asked by others hunting the same name if my g-uncle was theirs, or for information I might have, but so far I've gotten little in return.

Hello Everyone, I have been out of town for the last week and have just finished reading our list messages. First, let me say that this list has a some really terrific members and you are all appreciated. We have some of the most diligent and informative members on the subject of Donegal, Ireland and they are all willing to share their knowledge. As the listowner, it is my responsibility to keep the list running smoothly. The messages that have been flying back and forth on the list are creating a problem. So, before this gets out of hand, I am going to insist that all the discussions regarding anything other than our Donegal research STOP!!!! DO NOT post anymore messages regarding topics that are not related to Donegal. DO NOT respond to any of the messages that have been posted regarding Bitter Politics or any of the other messages that have branched out from this. This list has always been very friendly and helpful. Please let us keep it that way. I have never had to "ban" anyone from the list for not following the rules of the list and I don't ever want to have to. If anyone feels the need to "vent", you may feel free to do so to me at postalq@grnco.net If anyone ever has a complaint with the list, the proper procedure is to contact me and I will sort the problem out. Several of you have tried to get the list back on topic and that is much appreciated. I do not expect to see any further emails that are off topic. Let's get back to helping each other find our Donegal information. Thank you all for being such a great bunch of folks. Carol-listowner --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
