Brenda, Chuck, Since many Swiss speak French, Hassard could have been a French name. Also, borders have often changed. Just speculating ... A while ago, when I looked at a website about Huguenots, I saw several names of childhood schoolmates. Garrard, LeBar, Leroy come to mind. I wonder if there is any record of French Huguenots coming to Fermanagh, or if they went via England to other parts of Ireland.

Bear in mind that a lot of these claims were greatly exaggerated best regards Robert Sent from Outlook<http://aka.ms/weboutlook>

Robert, Thank you for posting the links to claims for compensation. It makes fascinating reading and most of those named as claimants would have emigrated to obtain a happy life. No wonder that the Hurts of that time are carried forward by some even until today. That Rory Maguire mentioned was referred to in my youth as Red Rory, because of the Bloodshed. The incidents referred to happened in Fermanagh at that time. Multiply that by 32, because it happened in every County of Ireland. But why should the actions of one extremist colour or affect our relations with Present day relationships? That was how my parents taught us to be good tolerant persons and good neighbours. Helping where we could. I attended the Funeral of an 86 year old Cousin of a Cousin today in Enniskillen. Meta, her sister Jean and I had been in the Girls Brigade together in the late 1940s & early 1950s. I had Lodged with her brother, Frankie and his Wife Eva. In Fact Eva was my Matron of Honour in 1955. I met people I had not seen for about 65 or 70 years. The Church was full and the overflow listened to the service from the adjoining Hall. She had planned every detail of the service by instructions contained in a letter to her Pastor written about a Month ago. As the Coffin was wheeled out of the church she had requested the playing of Louis Armstrong singing "What a wonderful day". If ever anyone deserved a place in Heaven it is that lady who lived and practiced a true Christian life of Love and Forgiveness as long as I have known her. She was descended from one of those families mentioned as Claimants. Thank you again Robert. Regards Viola

Robert I totally agree. The past has faded into oblivion. I suppose that is why we are trying to find the records we seek. But everyone living today can help to build the foundations for a better and inclusive future. Every new day uncovers a shooting, stabbing or other atrocities in our society presently. Parental control and example was paramount in my childhood. Thank God for my good parents who helped where help was needed and that is why I try to meet visitors to Fermanagh find their Roots.
