Hello William Flanagan, Could you please do a lookup for any Storey names in the 1862 Griffiths Valuation.Thank you for your offer. Regards, Kayleen.N.Z.

I have a certificate for St Ann's Cemetery in Port Richmond, Philadelphia dated Jul 30 1865, to a Daniel Guidar of Spring street in Philadelphia. for section 2, range 1 lot no 417, signed by Thomas Kiernan. Is there a kind soul out there who can tell me who is in this lot. I believe it is my Grandmothers parents . I am in Arizona and am trying to gather enough information to justify a trip back east . Thanking you in advance and anticipation, Bud Flanagan

Dear Shelle: I haven't got a clue how she got to Ogdensburg but I suspect she may have come through New York City. I know early patterns (i.e. my Scottish ancestors who came to St. Lawrence County) may well have come through Canada, although at least one branch did come through New York City. I haven't explore how Isabella got to the Ogdensburg area as I just found out about her. My genealogical research had the wrong set of parents for my gr.grandfather but an old obituary found in a pile of photos by my mother's cousin in California has sent me off in a flurry of excitement. If I find out anything re: immigration patterns, will let you know and thank you for your offer to "keep your eyes peeled" for Isabella. For now Sue

Dear Listers: I am looking for information re: my gr.gr.grandmother, Isabella Mealey who was born in 1842 in Fermanagh. (Information from her obit. and no further details given). She emigrated to the U.S. (Ogdensburg, New York) in 1859 and lived with her aunt and uncle before she married a Canadian and ended up in Canada in 1863. If anyone has information on a family of Mealeys to whom Isabella might have belonged, I would be grateful if you contacted me. Thank you. Sue

Does anyone know of a reliable researcher in the Fermanagh area? As far as I can tell, this family was in the Fermanagh/Tyrone area.. Thanks for any input.. Bonnie Kirkpatrick in the Thumb of Michigan

Hello Listers I'm researching my GGGM's family. I recently found her on the 1855 Census of New York: Rose Drugan, sons Felix, Michael, Patrick, Peter, William, and daughters Margaret & Catherine. My GGF, Felix married Mary Corrigan, and Michael married Catherine Corrigan. I'm assuming that they were sisters. The Census stated that the the Drugans arrived in New York 1851-2. I do not know where in Ireland that they came from, but the Heritage Centre in Donaghmore, told me that the name DRUGAN was mostly from Tyrone and Fermanagh. My searches have found different spellings of the name (Droogan-en, Dugan-en, and double Gs on occasion), but the original name is DRUGAN from what I have gleaned. I'm new to Irish Research, and would appreciate any help in finding my roots.TIA Arnold W. Roepken in Bellmore, NY Genealogy means "Never say die".

NOTICE: I posted the surnames and how many by each spelling were listed. I do not have first names, nor townlands , nor parishes. I put a notation at the bottom of the list.

Hello Listers, I am new to the listing and am currently doing the family history of Edward Gilroy and his descendants of Enniskillen in County Fermanagh. His son was a member of the 54th Regiment of the Foot in America's Revoluionary War on the British side who later emmigrated to Nova Scotia Canada. Edward's wifes name was Sarah Flemming. I belive them to be born any where from the 1650's to early 1700's , does anyone have any clues as to where to look for records for this period of time? I belive the family was probably Presbyterian are any records left for this period? Sincerely, Amy Gilroy

Have just extracted all the names from co Fermanagh from Griffith's Valuation of 1862. 2,00 plus with all the variations of spelling and number entered by each spelling. No details, just the names. I will answer all inquires as to names only, no locations as I have to buy a new CD # 188, wore out my first one.

Oge (long 'o') is Irish for 'junior' or 'younger'. It was used when there was someone with the same name or closely related was living at the same time. The senior would have been rendered 'mor'. It does not necessarily mean that this was father son, just a way of telling the difference with the long string of 'macs'. Note: If there was a third one, one could have added 'meodanach' or middle. Hope this helps! Phil

My apologies Listers. I see someone has kindly emailed me the necessary film numbers. Many thanks for your help. Irene Esson, West Vancouver Canada

Dear Listers: Are there any Protestant Church Records for Fermanagh put out by the Latter Day Saints. Apparently the Pinkburns were of that persuasion. Thank you for your time and effort. Irene

In this posting by Bud, I notice many of the Maguire's have the name 'Oge'. Does anyone know how to pronounce this? And is there any significance to the name? ____________________________________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 1:47 PM From: William J Flanagan <williamjflanagan@cox.net> Subject: [FERMANAGH] Plantation Period, Barony of Glenawley > SERVITORS; > 1.

From: "The Story of the Irish Race", by Seumas MacManus, from 1921, 35th printing in 1981. Page 405 Chapter XLVII "The Ulster Plantation" Within a decade after the "Flight if the Earls" came the Ulster Plantation - a scheme of fatal and far reaching consequence for the Island ever since. It was the Sixth James of Scotland who, after he became James I of England, perpetrated this crime. The land-greedy and gain-greedy among his Scotic fellow countryment, and among the English, were the instigators. Upon Ireland the covetous eyes of such people were ever turned. The flight of the Earls proved a welcome excuse for the wholesale robbing of the Clans. It was a very simple matter to find that all the Northern Chiefs had been conspiring to rebel - against England. Hence, they were "traitors" to England! And naturally their estates were forfeit and for distribution among James's hungry followers. That the Clan-Lands did not then, or ever at any time, belong to the Chieftain, but to the whole Clan community, was a matter of no consequence. According to English law and custom it should belong to the people's lords ( chiefs). And if "civilised" law did not obtain in Ireland, it must be imposed wheresoever British profit could be reaped from such imposition. The English Lord Lieutenant, Sir Arthur Chichester, and the Attorney General, Sir John Davis, were the instruments, under James, for giving effect to the great Plantation. The lands of the six counties of Donegal, Derry ( then called Coleraine), Tyrone, Fermanagh, Cavan and Armaggh - four million acres - were confiscated. ( The lands of the three remaining counties, Antrim, Down and Monaghan were bestowed upon Britons at other times). . The true owners, the natives, were driven like wild fowl or beasts, from the rich and fertile valleys of Ulster, which had been theirs from time immemorial, to the bogs and the moors and the barren crags - where it was hoped that they might starve and perish. English and Scotch Undertakers (( as they were called), and Servitors of teh Crown, scrambled for the fertile lands which were given to them in parcels of 1 thousand, 1,500 and 2,00- acres. The County of Coleraine (Derry) was divided up among the London trade Guilds, the drapers, fishmongers, vintners, haberdashers, etc., who had financed the Plantation scheme. The Church termon lands were bestowed upon the Protestant bishops. And thus a new nation was planted upon the fair face of Ireland's proudest quarter. The new nation was meant to be the permanent nation there. The written conditions upon which the new people got the lands specifically bound them to repress and abhor the Irish natives - conditions which through hundreds of years since the new people have faithfully endeavoured to carry out. They were bound never to alien the lands to Irish, to admit no Irish customs, not to intermarry with the Irishs, nor to permit any Irish other the menials to exist on or near their land. And they were bound to build castles and bawns, and keep many armed British retainers - thus constituting a permanent British garrison which would help to tame if not exterminate the Irish race. Sir John Davies, the Scotic king's very faithful servants, assures us that his master did tame the whole race. In his book, " A Discoverie of the True Causes why Ireland was never Subdued and Brought under Obedience to the Crowne of England until the Beginning of His Majesty's Happie Reign." he says, "T! he multitude having been brayed as it were in mortar with sword, pestilence and famine, altogether became admirers of the Crowne of England." And when they were made true admirers of the Crowne of England it was that their fertile possessions were given to the stranger, and they sent to co-habit with the snipe and the badger among the rocks and heather, And the faithful servant, Sir John, a pious Puritan rogue who stained his powers to rob and wrong the natives even far beyond the sweeping robbery powers which the "law" provided to his hand- this saint, in the traditional British fashion, tells us; "This transplanting of the natives is made by his Majestie like a father, rather than a lord or monarch. " So, as his Majestie doth in this, imitate the skilful husbandman who doth remove his fruit trees, not on purpose to extirpate and destroy, but the rather that they may bring forth better and sweeter fruit!". And when the starving one, from his perch among the rocks, glanced over the smiling valleys from which James had transplanted him for his own betterment, it is easy to conceive the depth of feeling with which he appreciated that kind father's solicitude. The character of the Planters who were given the lands of the hunted owned is recorded for us by the son of one of them, and also by a later one of their own descendents. Reid, in his "History of the Irish Presbyterians" says; "Among those whom divine Providence did send to Ireland ...the most part were such as either poverty or scandalous lives had forced hother". And Stewart, the son of a Presbyterian minister who was one of the Planters, writes: "From Scotland came many, and from England not a few, yet all of them generally the scum of both nations, who from debt, or breaking, or fleeing justice, or seeking shelter, came hither hoping to be without fear of man's justice." Sore indeed was the lot of the poor Irish in the woods, and mountains and moors. Thousands of them perished of starvation. Other, many thousands sailed away under leaders to enlist in Continental armies. To far Sweden alone went no less the six thousand swordsmen. But the lot of those who lived and remained was sorer far more than those who went either to exile or to death..
