need info on the name MALLAHAN. Where is Ireland is it from. Any Mallahan's out there on the web? Thanks, sandra Anderson have a very good day

Dear All As as a new subscriber-am wishing to post my interests Early 1800-1900s England and Ireland CORR/GORMAN/MCCABE/GRIFFIN My knowledge of where in Ireland these names came from is patchy. CORR is possibly from Armagh/Tyrone/Galway. MCCABE is supposedly from Galway. I really hope that these names may mean somthing to someone-I would love to make some progress in this field. Incidentally I am making a bulk extraction of entries for the General Register Office for London UK. I have completed the death lists and am currently trying to finish off the birth and marriage lists. Regards Doreen Fawcett (nee Corr)

Bill, thanks a bunch! Desiree

Gus, Thanks a bunch! Des

Desiree, In my case, my Internet service provider offered a free counter, but there are also many free counters available on the Internet, with instructions. Try a search engine for "website counter." That should get you to some sites. Or, if you can find a "software" or "shareware" download search site, you can simply type in "counter" and get a variety of counters to use.

There was a Thomas Purcell on the ship Bryan Abbs that arrived (new York)on march 7, 1850 with a Ellen Purcell on board. Would anyone know anything about these two people. My g-grandfaather Thomas Purcell signed documents stating that he arrived in New York, USA in March 1850. He had two younger brothers (12 and 8 yrs old) with him. If that was him who was Ellen? Thanks. Joe

I grew up in Clayton, New York. In fact, the house that Catherine Purcell Marshall built and raised her family in is the house I grew up in and now my brother owns it so his son makes the 5th generation living there. My Catherine (Cookie Grandma) was born June 30,1860 and died Jan 31, 1951. She married Louis Marshall. Her parents were Patrick Purcell and Elizabeth Ivey. Anything sound familiar? Becky

Went through your list of Purcell's and couldn't identify with any of them. All that I have is my greatgrandmother, Catherine born in 1860 to Patrick Purcell and Elizabeth Ivey. Thanks - Becky

Found a few more errors on the Griffith's Valuation CD. Don't know if any one is researching these names, they are in close range of the other Fitz names so most people would probably pick them up, just in case they are missed, here they are: The x should read z. i.e. Fitxgerald should be Fitzgerald. Also location is the townland or town. Fitxgerald, Patrick County : Clare Parish : Clonlea Location : Oatfield Fitxgibbon, William County : Limerick Parish : Ballylanders Location : Ballylanders Vil Main St Fitxhenry, Matthew County : Wexford Parish : Bannow Location : Coolhull Fitxpatrick, Patrick County : Clare Parish : Kilmurry Location : Carrowduff Fitxsimons, Robert County : Wexford Parish : Kilnahue Location : Bolany Also there is a Fitwilliams and it should be Fitzwilliam Fitwilliams, John County : Wexford Parish : Inch Location : Moneyribbin Also there is the following and it should be Fitzgerald: Fitzxgerald, Thomas County : Waterford Parish : Drumcannon Location : Killowen Slan go foill, Margaret (Mairead)

Chicago travellers, If you have time do NOT miss the marvelous genealogy collection at the small but brilliant Newberry Library. It is a treasure trove! See http://www.newberry.org/ for additional information. The library is located only 2-3 blocks directly west of the world-famous Water Tower on Michigan Avenue. Parking is definitely a challenge and do be careful as the area is targeted for parking tickets - and they are costly - I know this from firsthand experience. I misread my watch with the hour's time difference for my state of Michigan and when I returned to put more coins in the meter I had a $30 ticket attached to my windshield. Yes, Chicago police love to ticket! especially out-of-staters. You will need to get a Reader's Ticket at the front desk where you will be queried before having access to the library. It is a small jewel of a library! from their website: Overview of NL Genealogy Collections GENEALOGIES The Newberry has over 17,000 genealogies. The collection is especially noteworthy for its coverage of colonial America, particularly New England, and also includes many rare titles covering gentry and noble families of the British Isles. LOCAL HISTORIES The local history collection includes county, city, town, church, and other local histories from all regions of the United States, as well as from Canada and the British Isles. The Newberry holds a comprehensive collection of New England town histories, as well as an especially strong collection of county histories from the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic states. All of these contain extensive genealogical and biographical data. Its collection of local histories from the British Isles is also noteworthy. CENSUS The Newberry's federal census holdings are complete for the entire country 1790-1850, and complete for all Midwestern states through 1880. Its 1870 holdings are complete for all Southern and Border states, while its 1860 and 1880 holdings for many of these states are also complete. With the exception of a few out of state counties, Illinois is the only state for which the Newberry has any twentieth century federal census microfilm (1900, 1910, 1920). The Library holds census indexes for all states through 1850 with indexes for many states through 1860, 1870 or 1880. State census holdings include 1855 and 1865 Illinois, 1905 Wisconsin, and substantial but incomplete New York census for 1855, 1875, 1905, and 1925. Canadian census holdings are complete for Quebec 1831-1891 and for Ontario 1851-1871. GENEALOGICAL SOURCE MATERIAL Records of birth, death, and marriage, as well as probate, deed, court, tax, and cemetery records form an important segment of the Newberry's genealogy collection. These usually take the form of published indexes, abstracts or transcriptions of pre-twentieth century records. The Library collects these materials primarily from the area of the Mississippi Valley to the Eastern Seaboard, as well as from Canada and the British Isles. MILITARY The Newberry collects roster and pension reference works covering the colonial wars through the Civil War. A few states are also represented for the Spanish American War and World War One. The Newberry's collection of Civil War unit histories is one of the country's best. PERIODICALS The Library has complete runs of many state historical and genealogical journals, as well as important regional and national journals such as The New England Genealogical and Historical Register, The American Genealogist, and The National Genealogical Society Quarterly. The Newberry also holds several U.S. county genealogy periodicals, in addition to British journals of local and regional history and genealogy. Article subjects from U.S. and Canadian journals are indexed in the Periodical Source Index (PERSI), which the Library also holds. COLLECTION DESCRIPTIONS. Peggy Sinko's Guide to Local and Family History at the Newberry Library was published in 1987 and provides a good summary of the collections up to the time of publication; however, researchers should realize that much has been added since then. The Library is developing an ongoing series of "pathfinder" sheets covering Newberry collection highlights and strengths for selected genealogical research topics, such as passenger lists, Revolutionary War veterans, as well as particular states and ethnic groups. Queries may be addressed via e-mail or post to the Local and Family History Section, The Newberry Library, 60 West Walton, Chicago, Illinois 60610 (phone: 312-255-3512).

Alison, take a look through the site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/ Start with http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/guide/start1.html then go on to the Guide proper and browse about a bit... Even though you're not working on Co Clare, read the tutor for Co Clare because it can generalize to other searching. Check out everything about Dublin http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/county/dublin.html Since your father was placed with the Christian Brothers, he probably comes from a Catholic background. That fact might be of help in your searches..... There are LDS Family History Centers in London, so you CAN search through any records that have been microfilmed. That includes the 1911 Census, and maybe the 1901. If you know the birth, marriage or death dates of any of them, you might be able to find further information on the BMD indexes. This should get your feet wet and help you to formulate further questions :) When you're ready to ask more, come on back and ask ! :) And just for fun, take our two photo tours of Dublin :) HTH At 08:00 AM 7/21/99 -0700, you wrote: > >----- Original Message ----- >From: Alison Morris >Subject: Dublin Symingtons > > >Hi, >I hope you can help me ,I have just started to research my family history >and am finding it difficult to get started. >I am looking for info. on my grandparents family name Symington they married >in St Kevins in Dublin (Rathmines?) >My grandmothers maiden name was Harold-family from Bray. >My grandfather was called Joseph Thomas.
