Phillip, I saw your recent reply stating that you were born in Kinawley. I visited Kinawley last year (first time in Ireland). My grandmother Margret Harte was born in Tiravree Glebe in 1883 and emigrated in 1902 to Massachusetts. I met my cousin Marty Crudden who gave me a grand tour of the area. I visited the old homestead and we had a pint in Corrigans pub. My ggranfdather James Harte was a stone mason who helped construct St Nailes Church in Kinawley in the late 1800's, his wife, Jane McManus was also from Kinawley. Jane's two brothers Patrick and John McManus( of Patrick and Margaret McManus) emigrated to Massachusetts around 1870. I remember my grandmother telling me stories of the area. It is an absolutely beautiful and I hope to return someday very soon. Patrick Sullivan Massachusetts

Philip also do you know Mary and Hugh Murphy from Kinawley. Their son Aghgan is coming this summer with his family to spend time with me in Pa. I cant wait. Hope uyou know them.

Dear Philip: Thanks so much for knowing where it is. Somebody finally. On that road on the way nearly to the top is my grandmothers old cottage. The Limekiln is the Maguire Limekiln and the turf on the top is where they dug to keep warm. I am so happy that someone other then me knows about this place. My cousin Mary and James Clark still live on that mt. on the other side of the road from my grannies home. They own all the land there now. I wish I had a litle parsel to call my own. I do love it. JoAnn

I'm still looking for Fermanagh county family Surnames of CHAMBERS & BEATTY (or other spellings) - Specifically searching for anything about these this couple and their parents, siblings, etc.: William CHAMBERS believed born about 1800 and wife, Isabelle or Isabella BEATTY -born about 1802. I have a photo of Isabella's gravestone in Knox County, Ohio, USA saying "From County Fermanagh" - Isabella & William are believed to have married in Ireland about 1823/ 24/ 25. They had the following children all born in Ireland John W. CHAMBERS - 1826 Mary Matilda - 1828 Eliza - 1830 Ann Jane -1833 James B. - 1835 Robert Henry - 1839 They migrated to the New York City, US in 1841, then moved to central Ohio. Please tell me if anyone has any clues about anyone from this family. -- Thank you & sincerely, Allan ____________________________________ Allan Griffith, MD Prairie Emergency Group # 1 Jodi Lane, Bloomington, IL, USA 61701 Home phone: 309-828-2059 Personal HomePage: http://www.bigfoot.com/~magriff/

in 1968, ther were 73 Slevin voters in co Fermanagh In earlier years they settled in the north of Fremanagh and became church wardens in Kiltierney which is in the civil parish of Magheraculmoney, religious parish of Cul Maine. Is there any one else out there searching for Sleven/ Slevin surname in co Fermanagh that could help this person???

Aas of 1968, the MaCaffreys are Fermangh's sixth family today, commandeing 339 votes. They descend from Gafraigh, a son of Don Carrach, the first Maguire King of Fermanagh. . Their headquarters, in Maguire times was at Ballymacaffrey, near Fivemiletown. They figure frequently in the Anuals and took part in many raids.

IN 1629, we find the following McCaffreys on the Blennerhassett estate at Magheraculmoney: Teig Neil Tiege Padraigh Og Philip Loughlin Patrick Duff Neil Patrick Modder Dermot The McCaffreys began the 1641 Uprising in Fermanagh by burning Lisnarisk. After the Williamite wars, some of the McCaffreys may have become Protestant. We find eight of them on the Register in 1788. Murtagh McCaffrey lost 3& in Enniskillen fire in 1707. The 1796 List gives McCaffreys all over the county, particularly in Lurg anf Magherasteffany.

For any one who may be interested myself and a cousin from northern England resently put a site up on the web dealing with TINNENY FAMILY HISTORY. The site address is: http://members.lycos.co.uk/tinnenysite/tinneny/index.htm The Tinnenys around the world can all be traced back to the little island like townland of Goladuff which is located in Quivvy lough between the town of Newtownbutler, Co. Fermanagh and Belturbet in the republic. Goladuff is in the town of Newtownbutler. The Tinnenys in Ireland married into the following families to name a few: Fitzpatrick, Murray, Gunn, Brady, O'kane, Casey, Larkin, Green, McKenna. The site includes text about the family its origins, the homeplace in Goladuff, Saint Mary's in Newtownbutler and numerous photos of the family and Goladuff. There are also photos of the Tinneny desendents in America, England, New Zealand, Canada and India and of course in Ireland. Please feel free to visit the site and to sign the guest book.

William, good day from the Pacific Northwest. I would like to know a little more about Coolcrannel, where my g-g grandparents, James Elliott and wife, Anne Jane Dunbar lived. Not only would I like to know more, but I am already impressed by all that you have done with the maps you have put together. And grateful, of course. Marion Wood
