Much better Vi, there are 1218 Pension Applications in Dublin for Fermanagh people and I did a quick search for Baxter... no results! Now everyone knows and saves them time and Internet usage looking. I found death date/Will now everyone knows and saves them time and Internet usage looking. Dull as dishwater is correct as no one know what, if any, replies were sent nor can anyone search for anyone as there nothing to search except questions/queries.

I'd be more inclined to order copy of death cert.. get father's name, plus you now have Death date so look for church records when on line to see where he was buried. If Patk was youngest then guesstimatee father was 29 for example and guesstimate births for the others and a guesstimate for marriage etc just to get some sort of tree shape.

I see Patrick's Will (Drumliff) from 1919 is in Dublin... that might be worth looking up. Died 7 Aug 1919 although you probably have that. I'd also be inclined to maybe look at the Cavan ones as they are listed by where they DIED, not where they lived and they might have died at Cavan Hospital. for example... or even Dublin or elsewhere in Ireland.

Kathleen On some lists the reply does go direct to one person. I hit "Reply to All " which keeps other people on the list informed. I must say in my experience those lists where the reply goes to one person are as dull as dishwater and not very active. It is a different matter on this list which is the best and busiest of all rootsweb lists. Welome to Fermanagh-Gold List Hitting "reply" comes through to us all and everyone can keep pace with the progress of the enquiry.And can often even add to the information someone else has given.

Sound advice, Viola. At the instigation of yourself and Dave last year I now have a desktop link to Google Ireland, so easy to use and do so constantly, and another link to plain old Google for everything else. Dee. -----Original Message----- From: fermanagh-gold-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:fermanagh-gold-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Viola Wiggins via Sent: Tuesday, 12 May 2015 7:28 PM To: FERMANAGH GOLD Subject: FERMANAGH-GOLD Making use of Google You have all hear me call GOOGLE my friend. Here is the proof. I was in Enniskillen yesterday and called into the Geneaology Centre where a gentleman was seeking information on a Patrick Coyle born Enniskillen in 1766, who had travelled to USA alone when "he was a grown man". He was shipwrecked off Long Island but he survived, married and had family. The Gentleman did not know the year of arrival in US although he showed us an extensive tree linking him to Patrick Coyle. When I came home I Googled "Patrick Coyle Enniskillen 1766". The very top hit was for him. Turned out Patrick was travelling with his parents and was 7 years old when shipwrecked [c1782/3] The stories almost matched. So this must have been annother relative of the Gentleman making enquiries If only that gentleman had only used google he would have been much wiser. Let that be a lesson to everyone searching for their ancestors. Google the name, location and year. If that does not bring a hit change the keywords used. That could uncover annother person researching your ancestor and a possible relative with whom you can combine your research with. Two heads are better than one.

I am going to have to sort this all out in my brain tomorrow. I have added every bit of information I can find to a Baxter document but I am SO unclear as to which ones of these older people are mine!

Yes I know.... via google (or should I say Vi Google :-)) ) Often in those letters there are clues, comments about neighbours etc that can often be overlooked and where maybe those people can be looked up to see if they know something the Baxters don't. I have one from 1840's which commented on neighbour's children and some having left Ireland, others marrying here which tied up a family for someone else.

Strangely enough there's an old g/yard near there that has been completely overgrown for well over 50 years, was in it a few weeks ago as it is being cleared. All the gravestones there are very old and mostly in excellent condition as they were covered in leaves etc, some covered by maybe 6 inches of debris which preserved them, some completely encased in very thick Ivy that certainly haven't seen the light of day for a very very long time... Maybe someone might photograph them sometime as those stones would be very interesting and it is on what was the main road to Lisnaskea at one time... now it is a very narrow country road. I was going to do them but my camera is shot. DH On 12/05/2015 16:12, Kathleen Baxter wrote: > Though I had two years of high school Latin, I am not sure what the > Latin for Kathleen would be.

My great grandfather appears to have been born in (roughly) 1816. I believe his father was likely John. He had two brothers near him in Iowa and they each had an eldest son named John and a daughter named Sarah. Would you agree that their father was likely John? WHERE would I get this death certificate, oh you who know all? And, George, I have not been here long, but I adore people like you. Thank you!
