County Derry is Londonderry. My Family is Anderson. I have been researching since the 1980s. The cost of a month with Ancestry.com is well worth it. I shall keep an eye open for Your family. I am also researching in Falkirk in Scotland. I hope I can help. the Family History Monthly is a very good magazine. I was franically searching for my Greatgrandmother's family in england. I have since found that her Mother came from Ireland and her father from the United States. I am from North Queensland. I found the local genealogy clubs sometimes have a stack of information. some people buy fische, books etc. and donate them when they have collected all the information they want from them.

    2. olive boden
    3. Hello, I am searching for information on James Baker who lived in Dublin in the 1930`s. Address 40 Upper Mount St. Dublin.He was born in Cavan and may have gone to Dublin on the death of his first wife, Emily Fitzpatrick. He then married Jane O`Reilly. There was about 9 children from both marriages.One son, James Parick Baker migrated to Long Island New York in 1929. Names of other children -Annie, Alice, Emily, Pauline, Jimmy ,Hughie, Birtie, Rosaleen and Sheila.The family may have owned a public house in Dublin as James was a Wine and Spirit merchant in Belturbet Cavan. He may have died sometime in the 1930`s aged over 70 years. Any information would be lovely as I have not had much luck researching this branch of my family. Thank you, Olive Boden. Australia.

    1. Re: [FIANNA] Hemochromatosis
    2. Nancy Mazzeo Reeb
    3. This disease has been called the Irish Gene. Which is probably why it is being discussed on this list. My husband has it and it is a very common disease but seldom checked for by doctors. It does not show up under a regular blood test. You need a Feritin Test. This disease attacks all vital organs and can go undetected for years which in our case it did. By the time my husband was 42 he had a major heart attack. Since then he has had one fused ankle, one replaced ankle, one knee replacement and surgery for the bones in his elbow along with 13 stents in his heart. He is in constant pain which he lives with. Everyone in the family had to be checked for it. In our case we were all fine. But it's time for a re-checking. He did the DNA which revealed both his parents were carriers. His father was 100% French (but all red heads) and his mother 100% Irish. Maybe Dad ancestry was from the Irish section of France. Anyway, Thanks for your input and keep doing what you are doing by staying on top of it. Nancy Reeb Rhlnj@aol.com wrote: >Maureen, > >Thankyou for your optimistic letter.

    2. Maureen, Thankyou for your optimistic letter. Believe it or not, I got a nasty notice from the owner of the Larkin list because it was not genealogy. I never knew about this disease until a couple of years ago someone wrote into one of the Irish lists I am on and mentioned it. My sons are not that young; the younger just turned fifty one and he had known about it for about four years. The other is fifty eight and just found out about a week ago. We live about a half hour east of Phillie and we also have quite a few excellent hospitals so I know they get very good care. Again, thank you so much for your information, I really appeciate it, and please say a prayer. Rita

    1. Re: [FIANNA] Hemochromatosis
    2. Roger-Maureen Maloney
    3. Rita... Just a note to basically confirm what you have said about Hemochromatosis. I have been told that it is the mother that passes on the genes, as my husband has it and in olden days it was called the bronze disease. I hope you son hasn't had any liver damage and I am a bit surprised that it has been diagnosed in boys so young. Our doctor told my husband that it is usually found around the age of 40 as it was with my husband. Just so you will know, as long as you stay on top of it, your boys should be ok for some time...but it could well be that they may need liver transplants as they get older. When it was discovered in my husband who was around 40, our doctor told us that he would need a transplant in time and he was right. It took about 20 years and he began to go down hill in his late 50's and it took some time until he was sick enough to have the transplant. I believe he was on the actual list about a year. The doctors go by the blood numbers and when they get to a certain point, they know. We were very lucky as he got the liver in time and has had no liver related problems or any rejection. There will be side effects from the transplant and as our surgeon tells us....your liver is great, but other things begin to give you trouble and he is right. I don't mean to say that he is very ill, but he did get diabetes after the transplant which happens sometimes.. We do have that basically under control, but it has affected his eyes and they are treating one now and hope he doesn't lose the sight in it completely. I wish your family well and hope that your sons will continue to stay with the doctors. I would suggest that you find a hospital in your area that does liver transplants and find a GI doctor who is recommended by the transplant surgeons to make a general examination of your sons and if down the line they need help, the hospital will be aware of them and will be able to help. We are lucky that we live in the Boston area and there are three or four hospitals that do transplants. We went through New England Medical Center and we naturally favor that one. Our GI doctor is there and has treated my husband now for nearly 30 years and now if he needs any major problem looked at, we have it done there as they have every type of specialist that is needed...nice to have that all under one roof. We now have doctors in about five departments who keep an eye on him and are always available if we need them. If you should ever need any information, don't hesitate to contact me. Thankfully, with all the improvements that are out there now, your sons should be ok for some time to come.

    1. [FIANNA] Hemochromatosis
    2. Hemochromatosis is one of the most commonly inherited blood diseases. It is very commonplace in people from the British Isles but other people also have it. It is an excess of iron in the blood and takes a special blood test to show it. My younger son and his son have it and goes monthly (or should) to have blood taken and it is thrown away. Now my older son has been diagnosed with it and he had the treatment but next month he will have tests to see if he has liver damage from it. The iron lodges in organs, frequently in the liver. That is why people who are not drinkers will have cirohsis. This can kill you!! Women rarely have it because they pass it off through their periods but they can pass it to their children as I did. In order to have it both parents must carry the gene or chromosome. As you can see, I am not a medical person but a very concerned parent. Just google it and see what information is available. Please mention it to your medical doctor when you have a checkup. Better safe than sorry. Rita
