Where would I acquire this will? I am so ignorant. My generation of Baxter cousins: Patrick, Thomas, John, William, Charles. Sound familiar? Still no originality in the naming department. There was a Robert, but he died in infancy.

I am uncertain if what I reply is going to the whole list of just to you. My two letters are really about the family not any neighbors at all are mentioned. The weather and the crops and the prices are mentioned, very briefly. Also, the death of another cousin, a daughter of one of the immigrants to Iowa, who had died recently and I knew about her. The letter writer also states that James was the eldest and first to go, then my great grandfather Charles then John who came back but then went to Boston many years later and died there. The writer mentions several people who went to America and he has not heard from them for years. I had my brother do YDNA and his matches are hugely UK but much more Scotland than anything else. I have taken three classes on DNA but am learning more. Watching webinars, reading, there is a new DNA blog that looks good and I subscribed to it.. I feel pretty sure that the Baxters were part of the Ulster Plantation. This is just all so addictive and fun. Guess it beats drugs and alcohol!

Hi, Viola, just a reminder for everybody when googling that different countries have different results. I normally use google.com here in the States. But, I am researching in Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, Gloucestershire, Lancashire, etc. so I use google.co.uk and get way better results. For Canada I use google.ca. Shirley -----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.

Here's another Google tip. Search like this: Patrick+Coyle+Enniskillen+1766+Genealogy The pluses help the search and you'll get a much better result by adding "genealogy" at the end!

Wood family line of descent in Enniskillen, from 1750 to 1909. Windsor and Richmond Gazette (NSW : 28 May 1915, p.2. Irish Post Office in the Hands of One Family for 165 Years. The sub - Post Office at Church Hill; under Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, Ireland, has been in the family of the present sub - postmaster since the year 1750. It has been handed down in direct succession from father to son since the then Mr Thomas Wood, great grandfather of the present holder of the office, was appointed in 1750. He held the position until 1786. The following are the particulars of his successors: — David Wood, 1786 to 1832; Archie Wood, 1832 to 1882 Robert Wood, 1882 to 1909. Mr Robert Wood, the present sub - postmaster, who is over 70 years of age, will in all probability be succeeded by his son.
