Hello Listers, William JOHNSTON married Margaret DONALDSON at Innishmacsaint on 15th March 1803. Their children included Margaret c1803, John c1805, Anne 1807, Jane c.1810, Sarah 1811, William 1812 and Margery 1815. John JOHNSTON came to Australian in 1832 and his will in 1892 mentioned sisters Margaret MOORE and Margery SANDERSON. Another sister maybe Jane ELLIOTT. Are these names familiar to anyone ? Regards, Carole (Wallsend, Australia) <[email protected]> Researching: IRELAND: Co.Meath - Fitzpatrick, Foster, Lawler Co.Monaghan - Hughes Co.Fermanagh - Johnston, Donaldson ( Other names in other counties)

I got flamed the last time I tried to post a list of movies on this site. I have a, list of 37 movies, having something to do with Ireland as to History, Geography, scenery and some genealogy/Historical dates and places. Send a request to me at MY ADDRESS, not rootsweb, and I will send you the list. The first movie is from 1916. If I am offending someone again, I apologize to the individual .

The medieval parish was called Magheraculmoney ( Machaire Chul Maine). The Curch of Ireland created the parishes of Drumkeeran and Colaghty our of the northern half of Magheraculmoney in 1793 and 1845 respectively. The Ordinance Survey officially adopted both Magheraculmoney and Drumkeeran as Civil Parishes in 1830. The earliest reference to this parish was in correspondence with Rome, Itally in the 1280'a. Early pastors were the McGraths, Muldoons and O'Flanagan's.

While William Flanagan made the original post re Gravestone inscriptions, and this was followed by some others on the same subject - Rod and Janet to name two that I can see here - other posts were made with this line and concerning someone who is spamming the lists. I know who the people who made the original few posts are and that they are the list owner, and other researchers on this list but then again some other people may be new to the list and not know anything about the names which pass through.......... and then they might think that these original posters and genuine researchers are spammers....... and I'm sorry if this seems a bit picky, it's just I know what happens when people read one post and don't read others and assume things without having all the information so I just thought I'd point this out....... Whenever someone is going to make a post to any list then if they are not replying to some other post, they should really take a few seconds and change the subject line - or else it's possible you can harm the original poster in a way you haven't meant to Jane

This is being sent with permission of the original poster "Sgt George" who really knows his "stuff" about viruses. It's kind of technical, but read it all the way through for an explanation of what is going on. It's affecting yahoogroups lists as well as Rootsweb.

Janet, listowner CASSIDY-L, member of SHAMROCK-L , FERMANAGH-L, and Hannover-L ----- Original Message ----- From: "Big Sister - Yshire Listowner" <[email protected]> From: [email protected] Subject: [VIRUS] FROM VIRUS-DISCUSSION LISTOWNER - EVERYONE PLEASE READ OK, let's see if I can explain this so that everyone understands how these latest viruses, trojans, and worms work. Let's start with the very latest, W32/[email protected], also seen as W32/[email protected] Here are other aliases that have been found: Backdoor-NK.svr , BadTrans (F-Secure), I-Worm.Badtrans (AVP), [email protected] (NAV). There are several things about this one that need to be discussed, how it is spread, and the danger to the infected user's computer. 1) W32/[email protected] is received as a REAL attachment (more about "real" vs. "inline" attachments later). It comes as an actual file attachment, which is downloaded to a user's computer into whatever directory is set up for such downloads. For Eudora, Pegasus, and other "stand alone" email programs, this will be something like "Downloads", "Attachments", etc. For MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express, I'm not sure where a separate attached file is placed. 2) A user's computer is NOT infected UNTIL he/she clicks on the attachment and "runs" it, that is, executes it so that it does whatever it's supposed to do. 3) Once a user clicks the attachment, it installs itself on to the user's computer. It then does two things: a) It propagates itself so that every time the system is rebooted, it mails itself to the sender of EVERY UNREAD EMAIL in the user's MS Outlook FOLDERS. Notice that I say "folders", not "folder". That means that if you filter incoming email into various created folders, this trojan/virus searches all of them, not just the IN BOX. HERE'S THE REALLY DIRTY PART: The virus looks through all those unread emails; it finds the originator of them (FROM:) and REPLIES to the person who sent the original email. BUT, it also attaches a copy of the infected file and mails it along with the "reply". Thus, if John Doe sends an email to a person, or to a Mailing List, when that email ends up on another user's email program, and that other user is infected and hasn't read John's email, John receives a reply containing a copy of the virus as a separate clickable file. HERE'S WHY USERS KEEP INSISTING THAT VIRUSES CAN BE SPREAD BY ROOTSWEB MAILING LISTS, AND WHY THEY THINK THE ATTACHMENT CAME THROUGH A MAILING LIST: Let me give an example - John Doe sends a post to the SMITH-L Mailing List. John Doe's system is NOT infected. Every one of the 2,000+ users of the SMITH-L Mailing List receives a copy of John's email. One of these users, let's call him Bill Smith, has the W32/[email protected] virus on his system. Now, Bill has a copy of John's email in his Outlook program. He doesn't read it right away. He reboots his computer and, when Windows restarts, the virus looks through Bill's email in Outlook. It sends a reply to the sender of EVERY unread email, AND attaches a copy of itself as a separate attachment. It copies all the original headers, including those that show the email came through [email protected] Then John, the original sender of the email, receives a "reply" to his email, from Bill. John looks at the email and sees that it is a reply to his original post. He also sees [email protected] in several of the headers. As far as he's concerned, he has received a normal reply back through the Mailing List. If John is a "newbie", one of two things happen: I) He sees an attached file, with a message something like, "Take a look to the attachment." He says to himself, "This Bill Smith is answering my original post, AND he has sent me an attachment which is probably a file having something to do with information on my query." He clicks the attachment; thus ANOTHER SMITH-L Mailing List user is infected. or II) He is savvy enough to know NOT to open the attachment, BUT from the looks of the "reply" it appears that it came back to him via the Mailing List.   He screams and curses, and says, "I knew it! I don't care what the Listowners and the folks at Rootsweb say, these virus attachments ARE coming through the Mailing List!" He then posts angry posts to all the Mailing Lists to which he subscribes, calling the Listowners and Rootsweb people liars. He thus starts another round of uninformed posts about how attachments CAN be passed through Mailing Lists, and about how viruses CAN also be passed through the Lists. In short, this virus/trojan tricks recipients of infected email into thinking the virus is being propagated via a Mailing List. NOT SO !!!!! b) The other thing this virus/trojan does is this: Once running, the trojan attempts to mail the victim's IP Address to the author. Once this information is obtained, the author can connect to the infected system via the Internet and steal personal information such as usernames, and passwords. In addition, the trojan also contains a keylogger program which is capable of capturing other vital information such as credit card and bank account numbers and passwords. 4) THIS IS WHY EVERY COMPUTER USER MUST HAVE A FIREWALL ON HIS/HER COMPUTER !!!!! It doesn't matter whether you are using a dialup modem, a cable modem, DSL, or whatever, you NEED a firewall. A firewall is nothing more than a small utility that prevents malicious people from entering your system through a "back door". Once such a person has your IP address, he/she can connect to your computer any time your modem is connected, which is 27/7 for everyone but those using a dialup modem. Of course, a dialup modem is accessible only when you are actually "online". 5) So, PLEASE, let's stop this latest round of blaming Rootsweb Mailing Lists for allowing attachments, and for propagating viruses, trojans, worms, etc. I know that in the future, as new users subscribe, many of them will come to the same erroneous conclusions and start the thread all over again. They should be politely, but firmly, advised of the true situation. 6) VERY IMPORTANT POINT: Some users insist that email from Mailing Lists always comes as attachments. Not so! SOME email programs, such as MS Outlook/ Outlook Express and AOL, convert ALL List email into attachments. This is one of the most serious problems with such programs, and causes users to think that they are receiving "real" attachments. "REAL" attachments are FILES that are outside the body of an email, and come along with the email as a "rider". Other so-called "attachments" are those that contain the actual text from the body of an email. This is especially true for those subscribers to the Digest Mode of Lists. MS Outlook and AOL extract the body text and put it into "attachments". To the poster who was worried about "viruses going around on the GEN-NEWBIE Mailing List": I hope you can see from the above that the viruses are being sent from infected users'computers, users who happen to be receiving email from the List. This point MUST be made: If any user receives an infected email, or an infected attached file, and it appears to have come through a Mailing List, IT DID NOT. Blame the problems, and resulting confusion, on a virus-writer who is a little smarter than the average gomer. To end, here's a list of the KNOWN file-names that the W32/[email protected] virus/trojan uses: Card.pif docs.scr fun.pif hamster.ZIP.scr Humor.TXT.pif images.pif New_Napster_Site.DOC.scr news_doc.scr Me_nude.AVI.pif Pics.ZIP.scr README.TXT.pif s3msong.MP3.pif searchURL.scr SETUP.pif Sorry_about_yesterday.DOC.pif YOU_are_FAT!.TXT.pif So far, I have received virus attachments with the names "README.TXT.pif" and "Sorry_about-yesterday.DOC.pif". Anyone reading this has my permission to copy it and repost to individuals or other Mailing Lists. SgtGeorge George W.

It would be nice to be able to warn all lists with one message, but it seems the best we can do is to relay the message to other lists. This spammer does get around, and he is thorough. He has also lost several of his email accounts from spamming Ireland lists and being turned into his ISP, mostly the query lists. The best way to fight his type is to report him every single chance you get. Thanks for the heads up Sue.

Hi there list Can anyone give me some help with a place in Co Fermanagh. It could be a place or a townland. My Mary/Mabel McDonagh nee Morrison Par Edward & Mary is listed on the shipping records to Australia as being from native place Lisseen. I cannot find it on a map, but her referees were from Kesh and Ederney so I presume it was nearby. I read somewhere that that name could refer to a stone circle. There is one a short distance to the north of Ederney. There is also a townland of Lislea listed on seanruad's site. That's a possibility when oral/written material is produced. Any comments or suggestions. Anne Maye, Australia.

Hi Michael Firstly, I'm glad you found your Cassidy connection on Fermanagh Gold! Secondly, one of the features Fermanagh Gold surname search, which I hope you find helpful, is the ability to see all the surnames listed alphabetically. This gives you the huge variation on surname spellings. Some of them may be errors in transcription or typing but I do not change spellings when they're added to the databae. In some cases you can get different spellings of a surname within the same family records! So your McAuley and McCauley probably are the same name.

Macaulay, Macauley, MacAuley, MacAwley, MacGawly, Magauly, and Wythe, are are variations of the same name. You listed two more........ In the O'Connor of Donegal pedigree there was a CARLAN (carla = "a wool comb"), a quo O'Carlain, anglicised as Carlin, Carolan, and Kerlin. O'Carolans; Chiefs in Meath and Derry. The O'Cearbhallins (O'Carolans or Kerlins), a name sometimes anglicised Carleton, were chiefs of clan Diarmaida, now the parish of Clandermod or Glendermod, in Derry.

Hi List, Hope someone can help me. Trying to make an end run around one of my brick walls. An old letter to my father back in the 1960s indicates that my ggg grandmother's sister Susannah Morton was married to Sir Francis Graham. Time frame 1830s to 1840s. Hoping to find Sir Francis and use this to find information on my Morton family. My ggg grandmother was Elizabeth Morton m Thomas Haire and emigrated to U.S.A. in early 1840s. Family history says they were all from Enniskellen. Thank you. Richard V. Haire

I received an e-mail from a cousin who lives in the Derrygonnelly area today. Elizabeth says that the FMD has not been detected in County Fermanagh yet and we pray it will not come here. You have to be very careful of what you do and were you go. You can't move livestock about from place to place. Our cows are still in their sheds. They have started to calf but I don't know if we will be able to let them out in the grass in May. It is very hard when you don't know where a case may break out. Val (McClelland) Anderson Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

Richard, I was very interested in your assessment of FMD in Fermanagh. I would very much like to visit Fermanagh - especially the area around Derrygonnelly - Largalinney and Carnick in particular, in the Fall. I have heard that the forested areas are closed off - is that still true and do you think all this will be resolved by the Fall? I appreciate your info - Georgia
